Verdict

The Gorenje GI 520 E15X is a slim 45 cm semi-integrated dishwasher with capacity for nine place settings. It offers five programmes, including a one-hour 60°C cycle, uses 9 litres of water per Eco cycle, detects 3-in-1 detergent automatically, and includes a self-cleaning filter and Total AquaStop leak protection. Its strengths are compact dimensions, efficient water use, and useful safety features. Drawbacks include its Class E energy rating, 47 dB noise level, a standard asynchronous rather than inverter motor, and no automatic door opening at the end of a cycle.
