What's so great about it?
If you like to watch TV or have a meaningful conversation or get a baby to sleep in the same room as the dishwasher, this discreet version will make less noise than you - at just 41dB it's approximately the same volume as a whisper.
As well as being the quietest around, it's heaving with innovation - touch controls, a raft of programme and temperature options (including an automatic setting), and a sophisticated filter system. The LCD display on the fascia and in the door displays every bit of info you could wish for when you activate it, or a clock the rest of the time, plus there's a gizmo that pumps fresh air into the machine for sweet smelling dishes at the end!
The science: H818-880mm x W595mm x D570-574mm; 12 place settings; AAA ratings; 41dB.
In other words: So quiet and smart, it's practically an owl.
