Advantages: Build quality, performance, quiet, cool motorized door Disadvantages: expensive, needs the full depth of a standard kitchen unit
programs than you can shake a stick at, and most of them have some optional extras which you can select, such as Turbo (faster, but less economical and uses more water), and Extra drying.
