Verdict

The BEKO BDFN26521XQ is a 60 cm freestanding stainless steel dishwasher that features a large 15 place setting capacity and 6 wash programs. Powered by an efficient ProSmart Inverter Motor, it operates at a very quiet noise level of 43 decibels and includes advanced features such as AquaIntense for heavily soiled pots and HygieneIntense to eliminate bacteria. Main pros include its third cutlery tray for extra organization, touch controls, and low water consumption at 9.5 litres per cycle. However, cons include a potentially confusing or faint LED display and slightly flexible or flimsy rack components.
