I had never used a dishwasher before in my life, i had always had to settle for the kitchen sink but with my life being so jam packed with things to do and with money to spare i thought i would buy this Zanussi-Electrolux ZDF 511/ZDF 511 S.
The delivery man turned up on a friday morning and i gave him a hand unloading it into our kitchen. It was love at first sight this dishwasher was elegantly made and its silver body and stylish design fitted into my kitchen magnificently. Once i had stopped admiring my new appliance's beauty the delivery man was unwrapping it and getting it ready to install. I left him alone with a cup of tea and left him to get on with it.
About 40 mins later it was installed and he was showing me to work it. Showing me all of its different wash functions i wondered to myself how many will i be actually using?. I then looked quickly in the instruction manual and found out that it had a 19 hour time delay which was extremely useful for when i had my hands full at the time, and i know when it would finish thanks to its LED display.
This dishwasher also features 12 place settings for all of my washing needs but the real good thing was that its water consumption per wash was only 15 litres, so this baby would save me cash on water bills as well as time. No wonder its rated A for efficeny plus i can do my bit to help the enviroment as well.
The thing that did bug me though was its 47dba which in other words means its very loud when its washing and can get quite irritable too. To get around this problem use the delay timer and set it so an hour after you have gone to bed it will start its wash programme.
This dishwasher is adequately sized and perfect for my small sized kitchen. check the Technical Specification at the bottom of the page for more details.
I bought mine second hand for £150 with free installation from a family friends kitchen company but for you to buy it new would cost you anywhere from £238-£357 minus installation on Amazon.
I clean my dishwasher every 2 weeks (unless its really disgusting) and it doesnt take me long at all scrub the inside. I also put a cup of baking soda inside along with 1 and a half cups of vinegar this not only cleans the inside of the machine but also freshens it up which is a big help.
Overall i would recommend this dishwasher on the fact that its stylish, energy efficent, and does the job we all hate to do ourselves so well.
