Verdict

The Gorenje GS520E15W is a slim 45 cm freestanding dishwasher measuring 44.8 x 60 x 84.5 cm, with capacity for nine place settings and a stainless-steel tub. It uses 9 litres of water per Eco cycle and offers five programmes, automatic 3-in-1 detergent recognition, a height-adjustable upper basket, hot-water connection up to 60°C, and Total AquaStop protection. Its compact design and low water use are key strengths. Drawbacks include its Class E rating, 47 dB noise level, and no digital remaining-time display.
