Overview
Full-width built-in dishwasher with a stainless steel tub, triple wash arms and three racks with adjustable tines and height. Drying relies on a fan plus a door that swings open by itself, and the controls are hidden on the top edge behind a bar handle.
Rack adjustability and the drying fan are the practical gains: tall stemware and big pots fit, and moisture leaves the tub instead of condensing on dishes. The limits are weight and a handle that protrudes from the door, which may not suit a flush look.
Who it's for
Households that cook for gatherings and wash a mix of glassware, flatware and cookware. Those wanting a handle-free front, or a lighter unit to carry into place, should consider a pocket-handle model.
Pros and cons
- Adjustable tines and rack height
- Very low noise rating
- Delay start and sanitize options
- Triple wash arms
- Heavy body to handle during install
- Bar handle protrudes from the door
- Energy use given as wattage only
- Warranty is manufacturer only
Performance notes
Three wash arms with numerous jets reach each rack, and adjustable tines let tall items stand at the angle they need. The dual-dry approach pairs a fan with an auto-open door, so humid air is expelled rather than lingering on dishes. Cycles cover heavy soil, glassware and eco washing, and delay start schedules a run.
