For device: the new dishwasher replaced our "old" Siemens defective (12 years old, 699, -). The interior is very similar, only the cutlery basket is now even better.
Operation is simple, as usual.
The device looks great and falls the same positive effect on. As you might expect, our dishes are now back to spotless. On board are useful additional programs such as "half load" and an "intensive program" (only down more flushing pressure and temperature). There are the normal and automatic programs each eco-alternatives, and "full throttle" alternatives when it needs to go faster times. In general use, I think that we will only use the eco-programs - ranging from completely.
Our old unit was fully integrated. Thus, the door through which supervisors furniture front was somewhat better insulated and the device seemed a little quieter. However, we have the equipment in an IKEA UDDEN kitchen are (modules with metal frame), as it sits anyway not completely in one frame but the sound can get through even on the side.
For those already mentioned in other reviews Odour: Yes, even with us, but little. The smell comes not only from the interior of the machine, but from the rear wall. There sits the heater and a corresponding Dämmmasse (had the old machine as well). This insulation transpires clearly at the beginning of something. That makes each new iron or any new toaster in the beginning. With us at the 3rd use of the machine the smell is almost gone.
Strong buy recommendation!
