Buying a Whirlpool DU850SWPQ
This model is an energy efficient dishwasher with basic equipment to a very reasonable price.
Its cleaning performance is very good and suitable for less heavily soiled items. Baked on food remains or heavily soiled dishes and pots might need to be pre-soaked.
Food remains need to be scraped off before you can place tem into the dishwasher, as this model does not have a food disposer.
The soil settler filter system should be cleaned out manually from time to time to make sure the washing performance remains satisfying.
All in all, this machine offers good quality and value for money and is certainly a smart choice for the smaller 1 - 2 person-household.
