Overall score is made up of:
Washing (65%)
Drying (25%)
Energy efficiency (10%)
If a machine has an “auto” cycle, we select it over the “normal” cycle. We do this because an auto or sensing cycle should be designed to give optimum results for every wash. We put each dishwasher through its paces at least twice and the scores are averaged.
To really test a dishwasher’s ability to clean, we carefully dirty each test load with a range of foods and let them dry for 15 to 18 hours. And we’ve added baked-on porridge to the foods we’ve always used (such as baby cereal, spinach, egg yolk, tomato juice, tea and butter). Each of the foods plays a crucial part in assessing how the dishwasher performs and they’re there to test things like filtration, spray-arm effectiveness, rinsing and automatic sensors.

Pros:
I find the 'tall' single dishdrawer fits more than the standard size one. It washes the dishes well, and drys them good too.
I like how the fold down racks are split into two, and you can raise and lower the levels of the racks to suit - allows you to balance different height glasses/cups and fit the most in.
Very easy to set and turn on also.
Doesn't take too long either, compared to some brands of dishwashers.
We also have a dishwasher, but being able to load the dishdrawer at standing height is a bonus.
Overall it's a great little dishwasher.
Cons:
No obvious cons.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros:
Very easy to load with options of folding down racks, so quiet and no noise disturbance in our open plan living area. Dries well. Easy to clear the filter out. Stainless finish easy to clean. Handle great for a hand towel!
Previously had a two drawer model but now for two this suits very well.
Cons:
No cons to date.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros:
I love it as it saves my back! It washes very well, even really grubby dishes. I've had three so far and would not consider anything else. And no, I'm not sponsored to write this...
Cons:
It's only a fairly small capacity but fine for two people once a day. An earlier one was a double drawer version and that was fine for four.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.

Fits more than the standard DD - I couldnt fit my pasta plates or larger pots in my DD.
I like the drawer design for ease of loading/unloading.
Single drawer is great for smaller households and small kitchens.
I was able to install it myself easily
Cons:
Filter not the easiest to clean

Yes, I recommend this product.
