Flexible double-drawer design
The defining feature is the pair of independent DishDrawer compartments, providing 12 place settings in total with six settings per drawer. This layout is particularly useful when one drawer is enough for the day’s dishes, helping avoid running a full-size load unnecessarily.
The True Half Load function supports this flexible approach, while the two drawers can also be used for different cycles at the same time. Bench-height access may make loading and unloading more comfortable than a conventional low-opening design.
Programmes and cleaning options
Six programmes cover delicate, economical, fast, heavy, medium and rinse duties. The supplied information also describes a Quick Wash programme for normally soiled crockery in under 60 minutes, alongside Quick, Extra Dry and Sanitise modifiers.
Sanitise is intended for a hygienic final rinse, while Extra Dry is useful for items that retain water. The programme range is broad enough for routine household washing without making the controls unnecessarily complicated.
Noise, efficiency and installation
A stated noise level of 42 dBA makes this a promising option for open-plan living spaces. Water consumption is listed as 7.8 litres per cycle, although the E energy rating indicates that buyers prioritising energy efficiency may find more economical alternatives.
The dishwasher is designed for built-in installation and measures 599mm wide by 573mm deep, with an adjustable height range of 820–880mm. Kitchen measurements should be checked carefully before purchase, particularly because the supplied information indicates that a furniture door panel is required.
Controls and everyday convenience
Capacitive touch controls are complemented by Wi-Fi connectivity, delay start of up to 12 hours, Keylock and Knock to Pause. These features provide useful control over timing and operation without changing the dishwasher’s straightforward core function.
Adjustable fold-down and pitch-adjustable tines, foldable cup racks, a cutlery basket and clips for knives and multipurpose items give the interior useful loading flexibility.
