Beko BDF1640AX

Good dishwasher but can be made much better especially for the price point. It has a large capacity and washes well. The drying is not the best I've experienced. As soon as a cycle is finished and door is opened I notice less steam and more water on the loading baskets than I recall with other brands in the past. Some of the features described are missing, such as extra dry, auto door open and inside light. If they want to release models without these features then do so, instead of listing something that cannot be obtained. Also write a manual for each model. Right now its full of 'based on model', when this is the most advanced model you can buy. You have to spend half a day to decipher the manual and inspect the product to see what works, what doesn't work and how it works.

The App is good, because it does let you remote control unlike some other brands which just show status. However there are some short comings which can be easily fixed by software/firmware upgrade.

Firstly, In order to use the app you have to press the remote control button on the machine, after a long press turn on. However it looses the ability to remote control if you open and close the door. If they kept to stay on unless pressed off it would be a better user experience as it should stay in the state the user wants, like a light switch.

Secondly the delay end feature does not work at all, it starts the cycle regardless of end time. You also cannot choose next day times. Further more there should be a delay start time option as its easier to know when you want to the start rather than calculate the end of a cycle.

Features,controls do not work – Not satisfied with features that do not work but are features in dishwasher,such as hygiene intense,extra drying aqua intense fast+ half load. They do not work. The other features that do work are programmed by company to take too long to wash over 3 hours. When cycle finished,not dry enough.The only positive is very quite and looks good.
