Kenwood KDW 8ST2A

The ease of use in loading is really good and the top drawer is very sturdy and can hold plenty of crockery for my family use. I like the fact that there is a pre-rinse on there which takes 8mins when the dishwasher is not fully loaded but you have the...

The only downside to the product is it 2hrs 41mins for the full programme run which I find is quite long. but overall if you can get over that it is a pretty good machine and yes really I would recommend it to anyone

Looks

Does not stack a standard size dinner plate. Bizzare.

The timer delay as I am economy seven for my electricity bill.

The top tray does not hold large mugs or glasses very well and they tend to fall over when the tray is pulled out. The dishwasher does not clean as well as my previous model. Some items need to be put through again.

Very good at cleaning.

Layout of draws, some plates hit the spray arms.

It has a minute count down timer on the front to let you know how long the cycle has to run. You can fit things in the top draw, there are two clips you remove and refit which allow you to lower the height setting. It arrived in a very sturdy card...

Too small, was forced to get a 450mm until, (I wished I'd redesigned the kitchen to allow a 600mm unit to fit). It's very slow, over two and a half hours to run a normal cycle. It doesn't dry properly, (I think this may be to do with every manufacturer...

Design is lovely, especially for a slimline.

Fails to clean properly. The internal design of the dishwasher is pathetic. The shelves are positioned at a certain level meaning that plates can only be inserted on the bottom...the whole dishwasher works on a rotating spray at the bottom and pretty...

Good looking, mid range dishwasher which is fairly easy to use. Variable height for top shelf means you can raise or lower it depending on the items you wish to place in the top or bottom trays.

Very noisy, very long economy cycle and doesn't always clean items placed in the top tray.

The "look" of the machine is great. It really fits in with the stainless steel look of the kitchen.

It is very slow, and although it nice to have a wide range of programmes, the majority of them do the same job. The loading trays are quite fiddly. My previous slimline dishwasher took far more dishes in a bigger variety of sizes and shapes, I still...

looks good

doesnt clean particulary well, flimsy inside, difficult to shut, rollers not smoth

This dishwasher does its job extremely well (As long as you follow instructions properly, with regards to detergent, rinse aid, salt etc..and choosing the correct programme for the job) It is ideal for people who have minimal space for a dishwasher,...

I only have 1 main point that could be seen as a negative and that is the length of the programmes, they are quite long! The shortest full wash programme (prog 4, eco wash) is 1hour 38minutes, However now that I am used to using the dishwasher I no...
