Safety features include AquaStop and anti-vibration walls, while a 70°C self-cleaning program and a quick option that halves cycle durations add convenience. Water consumption is efficient at 38 litres per cycle. However, the C energy class with 62 kWh per 100 cycles, a spin speed limited to 1200 rpm, and the absence of steam technology, load balancing, and auto-diagnosis are downsides. The machine offers just one Xpress quick program and does not allow users to save preferred settings.
