Excellent dishwasher, recommended – I did a lot of online research to replace my Whirlpool which had died after three years. Most of the new dishwashers take two hours or more to do a proper wash cycle. Most that have short cycles only rinse, or don't dry. I'm too busy and have too many dishes to wait two hours plus for a cycle to complete. This Blanco is one of few dishwashers that has a 1 hour cycle. It gets the dishes very clean in that time, and the dishes are also dry. It has a very cool large knife rack and the interior space is well designed and I seem to be able to get more in it. They only downside is that the cutlery container lid doesn't fit ANY of my cutlery. It's nothing fancy - just Matthew Williams but the bottoms and tops of all knives, forks and spoons are too wide to fit in the lid sections. So I have had to take the lid off. It still works but you don't get the separation that ensures a proper clean. The price for a European appliance was cheap ($610 at The Good Guys). cleans the dishes, a useful one hour cycle lid sections on the cutlery container doesn't fit standard cutlery
