General Comments

Bought this Indesit DV621X machine a while ago to replace a clapped-out 'fitted in' dishwasher in our new house. This machine was one of the few 'slot under' available quickly and, having had no problems with Indesit before, we took this one. BIG MISTAKE. It took ages to fit in, the door panel fitting was like something from the Krypton Factor and the ensuing performance did not make up for it. As the other review, the handle soon split, you have to basically ram the door shut to get the machine to operate and then, when it starts, it sounds like a fullen laden 747 taking off....for nearly two hours. There are basically two wash settings only - quick (and rubbish) or very, very, very slow with umpteen pre-washes, main wash, God knows how many rinses and a drying cycle that lasts long enough to cause a national power crisis. The rotor arm is tempramental and if the load is slightly off balance, the arm stops twirling, resulting in 'baked on' food because of the amazingly long drying cycle. I've ended up drawing marks around the dial so we can force the machine to do just a main wash, rinse and dry in about an hour. The machine IS working, it's just very bad at it. When funds allow, it will be replaced by the updated version of my previous beloved Zanussi machine (aren't Indesit and Zanussi supposed to be the same people?). Avoid this machine at all costs - it's quicker, cheaper and uses a whole lot less water if you wash up in the sink!

    I agree with the writer of this review. I have had one for exactly a year and since day one experienced the 2 hour wash cycle, 4 cracked handles, dishes that come out as dirty as they went in, tremendous noise, I have also had problems with the top basket always falling forward when loaded as one side fails to stop at the end caps. It also doesn't dry properly. The final straw came when the marathon 2 hour cycle turned into a never-ending cycle. I have managed, fortunately, after 2 months of phone calls, to get my money back. DON'T buy it!
