Indesit Dishwasher Overview:

• When it comes to full size dishwashers from Indesit, the model that we recommend the most is the Indesit White Full-Size Dishwasher code DFE1B19 which is usually found on sale for less than £250 when seen at the time of this review (excluding delivery costs). This particular code comes in a white finish however there is also black and silver alternatives if you need to look beyond the standard white finish.
• Home deliveries can be organised as well as recycling and installation services by adding it to your shopping cart if you don’t have a local agent available to do the job for you. It comes with 13 place settings for the average sized family and there is the 28-minute quick wash available if you don’t want to wait over 1 hour to have the dishes cleaned

Indesit Dishwasher Overview:

• If you need an integrated dishwasher instead, then the dishwasher you should consider is the Indesit Stainless Steel Integrated Dishwasher code DSIE2B10UK which is usually available for less than £280/£300 when seen at the time of our review and comes backed with home delivery options as well as recycling and installation services (limited installations are available – you will need to check your eligibility)
• This dishwasher is designed to be built into your kitchen layout so dimensions are slightly smaller, so you end up a smaller 10 place setting.  As it is integrated, it blends in with your kitchen layout and doesn’t require as much space as a full size dishwasher so space can be saved for other functions and appliances in the kitchen plan.
• There are 3 temperature settings here along with 5 programmes such as intensive, normal, half load and economy mode and the quick wash solution is slightly longer at 40 minutes duration. The top rack basket is also adjustable which can help with fitting in larger plates underneath.
• The rapid quick wash cycle is really for lightly soiled crockery without any dried food resides, the intensive mode is ideal for dried heavily soiled crockery so you should avoid putting in delicate glassware or china in this particular cycle. The economy mode is the best in terms of energy usage and water consumption but be prepared to wait for the cycle to finish as this particular cycle runs for 4 hours
• You get the indicators here for the Rinse aid refill and the salt refill to deal with any limestone deposits and the noise level emitted is 51 dB(A) with an energy A+ energy rating status. It comes with the overflow protection and cutlery basket holder as standard and the amount of water used per cycle is 11.5 litres on average.

Option 3: Indesit White Slimline Dishwasher - DSFE1B10

Summary of Main Features:

For smaller type kitchens
Narrower slim build design
Install & recycle options
Space for 10 place settings
Quick wash 30 mins long
6 programmes available
Half load & economy modes
Noise level is ~51 dB(A)
Size 84H x 45W x 59D cm
Water usage ~ 11 litres/cycle

Indesit Dishwasher Overview:

• Our third and final option on this short list is for smaller kitchens or apartments and it’s the narrower designed Indesit White Slimline Dishwasher code DSFE1B10 which is 15cm narrower than the full size wider dishwasher and it comes backed with an energy rating A+ status to keep your utility bills as low as they can be.
• Some of the cycles can be somewhat long to complete but you have the option of using the 30 minutes quick wash solution for lighter and lesser soiled loads of dishes and crockery. The normal cycle and intensive cycles can take over 2 hours to complete so again if you are in a hurry, then get accustomed to the quick wash solution as best you can.
• Home deliveries are organised within a few working days and the additional services of recycling and installation can be added to your shopping basket if needed which can set you back a further £50 to £100 on average. If you have someone local or a friend that can install it at a bargain price, then make that phone call but make sure they are fully qualified to complete the job properly.
• As it is narrower, there is a lower number of 10 place settings but again it is designed for people with limited space in their kitchen layout.  There are 6 programmes provided which include prewash, intensive, rapid, economy, normal and the dimensions when it comes to installations are 85cm high by 45cm wide by 59cm deep.

Part 4: Overview of Main Pros and Cons to Note

Main Pros Noted:

• Simple dishwasher to navigate and use – controls are laid out well so even if you have no prior experience of using dishwashers, you will find this appliance as simple as they can get
• Noise levels are as low as they say they are – you hardly even notice it when it is turned on so we would have to give it a 10 out of 10 in this regard.
• Cleaning results are excellent across the various programme selections – the power from the spray arms really do get all the various dishwasher items cleaned as they should be.
• Having the top adjustable basket provides extra flexibility when it comes to fitting in larger plates, pots or pans on the bottom rack
• The layout of the basket racks and cutlery basket is certainly impressive to accommodate anything that you would possibly need to get cleaned. Overall, it does as good a job as you would expect and provides good value for the money.

Main Cons Noted:

• No smart NFC connectivity is available unlike more premium models we have seen
• No cycles for glassware and half load cycles are only available on select models
• Economy modes and some of the other cycles are far too long – you will need to be patient!
• There is no child lock function mechanism which is handy to have if you have young children in your home
• Quick wash solution is really only useful for lighter loads and lighter soiled items – don’t expect heavily soiled dried pots and pans to be fully cleaned after the shorter quick wash.

Part 6: Salt, Rinse Aid & Cycle Guidelines

Salt Reservoir Filling:

Keeping the salt reservoir filled will salt will help to minimise any limestone deposits on the internal components and also your dishes and crockery. You should make sure that the salt reservoir is never left empty and give it a quick check once every month. The salt reservoir is located on the base on the internal drum and it should be filled when the green float on the cap of the salt reservoir can no longer be seen. Simply unscrew the reservoir cap and when using it for the first time, fill it with water first. Use a funnel and pour in the salt until it reaches the top edge  - it can take approx. 1kg of salt to reach the edge. Wipe away any spillages and screw the cap back on as tight as you can.

Rinse Aid Guidelines:

When you add rinse aid, it makes the chore of dish drying easier to do. Open the cap and pour it in until the dark optical indicator on the dispenser becomes clear and transparent. As a guide, the maximum rinse you should add is between 100ml and 110ml and make sure it does not overflow. If you have any spillages, make sure to wipe it off with a dry towel or cloth. Once filled in, then press down the cap until you hear the lock click sound.

Cycle Times, Water & Energy Usage:

The diagram below outlines the different programmes available on the Integrated dishwasher and the timings, water usage and energy consumption for each. For example, the Intensive cycle uses a lot more energy than the economy mode but the timings for the intensive is only 2 and half hours while the economy lasts for 4 hours. The rapid quick wash of 40 minutes will use just 8 litres of water and consume one of the lower levels of energy needed. Further information is outlined below so you can see for yourself what to expect from each of these cycles.
