After reading good manufacturer reviews and watching impressive video clips of this model, I decided to take the plunge and buy online. I think that was a big mistake as I couldn't look inside or feel the quality.
I am very disappointed, despite using the recommended washing tablets the cleaning is very poor, it states that there is no need to rinse dishes or pans before putting them in but if you didn't they would be just as dirty when they came out.

Its good points are, its very quiet and it has stem holders for wine glasses.

Quick review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZDF501
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.

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 ...
