For a Japanese brand I'm disappointed with the build quality of this item. With the door open the whole thing can flex. In fact, despite getting it perfectly level (via the very difficult to adjust feet), the whole thing still looks out of square. To the point where the door doesn't sit correctly when closed and the thin metal side trim is bulging. The buttons on the control unit are extremely cheap feeling. It apparently has an active drying unit, but it doesn't dry plastic items well at all and doesn't do a fantastic job on glass either, regardless of which setting we use. Overall a sad indictment of the quality of modern appliances.

Generally happy with this dishwasher and find the 30-minute quick-cycle washes everything perfectly. It is of course a small dishwasher and you do have to have relatively small dinner plates, though. My 27cm (10½ inch) diameter plates are too high and have to be loaded at an angle, which limits how many you can put in. I think the claim that it can accommodate 10 place settings is a bit exaggerated. The space between each plate is also very narrow and therefore very dirty dishes would probably not get washed properly if 10 were put in. Have also found I still need to dry some items, even though it's claimed turbo fan will leave everything dry - unfortunately it doesn't.

I’ve had this for about a year now. It’s a good little dishwasher and I’ve had no issues with it. I do find the express programme doesn’t always wash everything perfectly so I tend to use the fourth programme as it works well.

Worst dishwasher I have ever had, thought I would spend a bit more this time on a new dishwasher, its awful. Bottom rack doesn't stay on runs, plates don't fit, cups get stuck in the over size wire racks, doesn't come out clean no matter what wash programme or product I use. I've read the instructions from front to back, made sure its full of salt, rinse aid, hard water test everything, its just awful. I've had many dishwashers over the years, I know how tow use one and this is awful. Also, the plate racks are so narrow its very difficult to put full size plates in and if you have thicker plates, eg Denby, they won't fit at all! It's useless.

The dishwasher didn’t work when delivered. AO really good but Sharp customer service only open Mon to Friday 9 to 5. They eventually sent an engineer 5 days after receiving the dishwasher to be told they don’t have spares for the machine and it could take 3 or 4 weeks to get them. Engineer reported that we should get a new dishwasher. Again AO great but Sharp poor hadn’t advised AO to replace by close of play on Thursday. Dishwasher a week old and never worked. AO replacement on way Monday. Hopefully this one will work. Would recommend AO customer service to anyone but Sharp needs to really improve.

Leaves the dishes nice and clean and dry, good short 50 minute cycle. Slightly noisy, so no good for a studio flat, but OK in our separate kitchen. Would recommend checking the photos of the top drawer though as I am disappointed with it, as the racks are not very well made for holding glasses etc. They could easily topple.

Brilliant little machine washes the dishes perfectly and come out nice and dry . Fits into the small space in my kitchen.

This product is a joke . Door is move to left!
