What's so great about it?
What with all the rain, floods etc, it does seem hard to compute that water is a precious resource these days. Nevertheless environmentalists and your water bills are telling you it is, so hurray for a dishwasher that can wash a load in a mere 9.9 litres of water.
The six programmes on offer include auto, quick, intensive and delicate, while among the temperature options, you can go for a cold setting for your really fragile items. You can opt for a half-load using either upper or lower basket and there's a whole lot more, such as fan drying, interior light and delay start.
The science: H860mm x W600mm x D570mm; 12 place settings; AAA ratings; 46dB.
In other words: Eco-friendly without sacrificing style.
