Verdict

The silver Beko DFN05321S is a 60 cm freestanding dishwasher with capacity for 13 place settings, five programmes including Eco 50°C, Intensive 70°C, and Quick & Shine, and a flexible half-load function. Its main advantages are strong value, straightforward electronic controls with an LED display, and an easy-to-open sliding detergent dispenser. Its weaknesses include a Class E energy rating, consumption of 12.9 litres of water and 94 kWh per 100 cycles, a 49 dBA noise level, and instructions that some users may find unclear.
