Electricity consumption:
My experience has shown that most manufacturers have in terms of power consumption values can still deviate slightly upwards. This time my readings:
Eco 50 degree: Duration 3h 15 min, Power consumption: ZW 0.66 KWH - 0.71 KWh.
Auto: Runtime about 2h 30 min depending on how dirty: 0.75 KWh
The 70 degree program, I have not yet tried, but soon it will venture out and complete my recession accordingly.
Operating noise:
The dishwasher is definitely quieter than our 4 year old Bauknecht freshener of gave up the ghost. This is already fetching water, whisper I say this only. You might not hear. It is a technical device and a technical device makes noises when we make no mistake about it. Now to my BUT. At first I thought my device was defective, because after about 15 minutes a humming sound (like a fan noise) can be heard during the flushing operation in Eco mode, you open the door, so you can hear how the sound goes very slowly.
The lady at the hotline said oh that sounds not good, we will send a technician. This came last week and explained to me that this buzzing sound is the zeolite drying, the dried zeolite-stones during the washing process so that they are Suitable for use later. He illustrated it with also using the construction plan. That you can not turn off too. My unit is therefore not defective, it is normal. After about 30 minutes the fan noise disappears.
During the drying process you can hear the fan, I do not feel as disturbing. But I also have no open kitchen.
For this I should say that I paid nothing for the technician visit anyway, good service!
Odour:
If you open the dishwasher after the end of the program takes you a very chemical smell true. I compare it with the smell like the dentist. I was very disturbed that yet, but as the technician anyway since I asked why. He explained to me that it is on the rinse aid. If the chamber is empty, I should try it without or if then with Somat. In 70% of cases it comes to customers without rinse aid, as it in this multi-Tabs is indeed there.
I used to date the finishing rinse, Tabs and salt. I was but that so disturbed that I bought a bottle and nachgekippt Somat Rinse Aid. It was suddenly better. The smell is not gone, but it is bearable. I'll try it without rinse aid and supplement my recession correspondingly.
Handling:
It is really so, no steam development during the zeolite drying at the program end. Excellent. The operation is very easy. Press knobs and off you go. At the end of the program, the device switches off automatically.
Conclusion:
I forgive for this device nevertheless 5 stars because me the drying, the rinsing and the power consumption are absolutely convinced.
Who cares the term, which I have to say: You can not reduce electricity and water consumption, and expect 1H runtime perfect, energy and water-saving washing and drying results. Do not interfere with the running time. Should I the dishes but even need faster, I can use the Variospeed- function.
