Save Valuable Surface Space – with a table-top, freestanding design

Compact dimensions are listed as H44.0 x W55.0 x D50.0 cm, allowing placement on kitchen countertops or storage in suitably sized cupboards. The freestanding format removes the need for permanent built-in installation.

Fits neatly into small kitchens, caravans or holiday lets to free up sink and worktop space. Easy to store away when extra surface area is needed.

Busy-Kitchen Capacity – thanks to six place settings

Six place settings means the interior is sized to handle plates, bowls and cutlery for a small household or individual. A removable cutlery basket keeps utensils organised for a single wash load.

Capable of covering a day's worth of dishes for one or two people, reducing the number of hand washes. Cutlery basket simplifies loading and unloading.

Flexible Scheduling and Gentler Washes – with Eco Mode and a 1–24 hour delay timer

An Eco Mode is listed among available cycles and a programmable delay timer allows the wash to start between 1 and 24 hours after programming. Controls permit setting wash timing to suit household routines.

Set the cycle to run overnight or during quiet hours and select an eco-oriented programme for less intensive cleaning. Helpful when access to water or electricity timing matters in rented or mobile environments.
