ATAG DW7214MC

Excellent dishwasher. Nice and spacious on the inside, with enough height for wine glasses because of the narrow cutlery drawer. After reading the reviews, I expected it to be a little quieter, but still, no disturbing noise level.

I had the opportunity to test this machine for a few weeks... what a wonderful device. I can even place my large plates in this machine without the spray arm hitting them. It's funny that the machine has lighting. Not really necessary, but if the lighting in the kitchen is off, you can still see what is in the machine. At the bottom there are a few nozzles that you can adjust for pans (wide jet), vases (narrow jet) or close them. I have this open by default. The machine is already quiet, but with the night mode there is even less noise. There is a cutlery drawer at the top. Because I use it, I removed the separate cutlery tray, which creates extra space at the bottom for the pans. You can easily fit 3 pans in it, and there is still enough space for all the plates. The height of the drawer for the cups can be adjusted, but because the top cutlery drawer does not extend all the way to the side, the highest position is fine.

This dishwasher performs very well on the most important points. Dishes are clean, even a caked pan is clean with the right extra spray option for pans. The plastic tray and the plastic fronts of the racks remain wet while drying, otherwise they are thoroughly dry. The lighting provides a good view of the clean dishes and is easy to fill. The softener in the machine saves the amount of salt and rinse aid required. I use the drawer for regular cutlery, and I use the basket in the lower rack for coarser cooking tools such as spatulas and whisks. Both give a good, dry washing result. The placement of my pans, usually 4/5 pieces, still requires some puzzling. But by moving a rack in the lower rack, it is now possible to place a frying pan diagonally/vertically, so I can store two more pans at the back. Previously, I placed small pans or bowls in the upper rack, but that is not possible with this dishwasher due to the limited height of this rack and the cutlery drawer above it. Even at the lowest setting, it is not possible to place slightly larger dishes or a small pan. Shame. But if you don't have such an extensive cooking habit as I do, this dishwasher is highly recommended. Because he does what he has to do, delivering the dishes clean and shiny.
