I bought one of these in January 2007 and last night (24th May 2008) it nearly caused a fire when the electrics behind the control panel overheated. I then found that there had been a product recall, however the model number and serial number I had was not covered in the recall. If this is any indication of quality, for what was not a low end product, I would steer well clear of both this model and this manufacturer.
Whilst using this product it has been very quiet however the quality of cleaning also leaves a lot to be desired with things often coming out looking like they could do with a good clean, for instance glasses do not come out looking clear and sparkling but look cloudy instead. ...

Advantages: Delay timer, quiet, and you can adapt the racks. Disadvantages: None whatsoever
I bought the Zanussi-Electrolux ZDF 501 S about 2 months ago. I am thrilled with it. It has a delayed timer on it so I can set it to wash during our Economy 10 hours so it is cheaper on the electric. I live in a block of flats and I was concerned about the noise level of running a dishwasher at night. Anyhow, I bought this Zanussi-Electrolux ZDF 501 S and it's the best dishwasher I have ever had. The bottom rack is great because you can fold some ...
