Third-party reviews

What we like about BAUKNECHT BKSV2

  • Excellent drying performance due to the ActiveDry automatic door opening feature.
  • Very quiet operation at only 41 dB.
  • High energy efficiency with an Class A rating.
  • Effective bacteria and germ elimination via the 72°C hygiene cycle.
  • Flexible loading capacity for up to 14 place settings, supported by a customizable cutlery drawer and adjustable upper basket.
  • Resource-efficient sensor program that automatically adjusts water and temperature levels.

What we don't like about BAUKNECHT BKSV2

  • Lacks a dedicated PowerClean high-pressure zone, requiring heavily soiled or burnt oven dishes to be pre-scrubbed by hand.
  • Eco cycle has a relatively long runtime of nearly 5 hours (4:50).
  • Customer service and technician support can be difficult to coordinate for non-German speaking users.

Verdict

The Bauknecht BKSV2 is a 60 cm dishwasher featuring a 14 place setting capacity, an exceptionally efficient Class A energy rating consuming just 54 kWh per 100 cycles, and a quiet 41 dB operational noise level. Key pros include its ActiveDry automatic door-opening system, a flexible third-tier cutlery drawer, MultiZone localized basket washing, a dedicated 72°C hygiene cycle, and 9.5 liters of water consumption per eco cycle. On the downside, fully integrated versions do not include a custom furniture front, it is not suitable for high-level installation, and its eco-program features a lengthy duration of 4 hours and 50 minutes.
