Advantages: Very neat, quiet and washes well. Cuts environmental impact Disadvantages: Would query the A rating for drying.
...the first place.
The SMEG had the lot, and despite still being £299* after being reduced by 50 quid was what we went for in the end. It was also the only stainless steel-fronted one on show.
* If I recall correctly, this is still less than we paid 9 years ago.
It goes without saying, that, despite being a vast 'warehouse' Currys, it wasn't actually in stock apart from the demo model, but to be fair, the delivery was well handled and with plenty ... ...other for drying.
The SMEG officially passes all three with flying colours.
A lot of sceptics poo-poo the idea that dishwashers can be eco-friendly possibly more so than hand-washing, but since they can work with water hotter than you could yourself stand, there is less need for so much soap/detergent. Most modern washers only get through 20-odd litres of water per wash, even for a full '12-place setting' load, which I suspect is a damned sight ...
