Very satisfied. We are a 2 person household and so we probably use the machine more than absolutley necessary and therefore are most pleased with the 33 minute cycle which seems just as effective as the longer one of almost 2 hours.

Great recommendation
Which? report findings on this item seems totally balanced. This is a very good dishwasher. OK the quantity of button options and sub options are very akin to modern washing machine options and can initially be daunting to those of us just wanting it to 'wash the dishes'. I (we) are every pleased with the capacity and its effectiveness to clean with both powder and liquid; the use of tablets needs to be planned as quick washes are not too effective with tablet performance.

Really, really pleased with it
After having a naff Neff for 16 years I have been thrilled with this dishwasher. It is amazingly quiet and cleans and dries brilliantly. Haven't used the Vario button - or the half-load button but agree with DerekG on the 29 min wash, this is so useful. I am not sure why it has the funky blue light on the interior - but I guess if your thing is load your dishwasher in the dark - you can definitely see what you're doing! The only thing I can't get to grips with (and I am sure it is me - not the dishwasher) - is changing the top rack height. Other than that I think it is extremely good value for money and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Brilliant dishwasher
We have had this several months & are extremely pleased with it. One major advantage is the 29 minute programme, which we use nearly all the time. (The other programmes are all a bit long, but that doesn't trouble us.) It is very quiet - sometimes difficult to know whether it is on unless you look at the indicator light. The programme selection and other switches are simple and easy to use.

Good, but ...
Whilst I wouldn't dispute that this washes well and is very, very quiet, it does, for us, have one problem and that is the racks. These are geared up for the dinner-party set with spaces for loads of plates, bowls and wine-glasses. But for the mug-of-coffee-and-beer-drinking set it is far less suitable having a tiny amount of space designed for mugs and big glasses and what space there is for those, is very space inefficient. After three weeks of playing about I have got as far as I can and put the vast majority of mugs and glasses on the plate prongs where they tend to be flat so the bottoms don't dry too well. The preceding Bosch was much better designed for this lifestyle. Still, overall I like it and it I hope that, like its predecessor, it is good for 15 years. The flood prevention gizmo on the waste pipe is huge though it caused no fitting problems for me. See one of the reviews on the JLP website if you are concerned.

Great Dishwasher
Does exactly what it says on the tin and with total efficiency. Bought this one to replace an earlier model Siemens which started leaking after only 17 years, very poor !! We are certainly not disappointed with our choice, It is extremely quiet and even has an internal light ( LED ) to illuminate the interior which seems a bit OTT but earns its keep when the sun shines through the window behind the machine. We would thoroughly recommend everything about this machine and fully agree with the Which findings. It has plenty of programmes to make anyone happy and to cover all eventualities. You will not be disappointed with this excellent dishwasher.
