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.
