Expert review of the ATAG DW7114XB

As soon as I open the door, I notice how spacious the built-in dishwasher is. Because I don't use many dishes by myself, I can easily fit my breakfast and dinner plates of multiple days. The appliance has 3 drawers, including a cutlery drawer. The cutlery drawer is pretty small for the dirty cutlery of a few days. The including cutlery basket comes in very useful. I can easily adjust the height of the upper rack, so I create more space for large soup pots.

I turn on the dishwasher and unlock the child safety lock. With the "<" and ">" buttons, I can navigate through all dishwasher cycles. For more explanation, I checked the manual. For example, there's a special cycle for my crystal glasses or plastic containers. I can also turn on the dishwasher for only the upper or lower rack. That's useful when I have a bunch of cups after having guests over. I can choose extra option with the cycle mode button, for example for a fast mode or eco mode.

When I load the dishwasher, I often come across clean pastry forks or tea spoons. This dishwasher has a solution for that, thanks to the inner LED lighting. This way, I can clearly see my clean dishes. In addition, it's a nice function that makes the built-in dishwasher look classy.

There's nothing more inconvenient than unloading dirty dishes after a dishwasher cycle. My pans and oven dishes were very dirty, but the dishwasher still cleaned them well. That's because this model has multiple spraying levels, so the water reaches all corners between plates, cups, and bowls. This way, I don't have to rinse dirt after the dishwasher cycle. During a cycle, I barely hear the dishwasher and I can work at the kitchen table during the day.

With the button next to the display, I can turn on the fan drying technique. The door opens slightly about 20 minutes before the end of the cycle, so my pasta plates and plastic cups dry even better. When I wait longer with unloading and leave the door open, my dishes are completely dry. This function makes the dishwasher energy-efficient. That's nice, because I like to contribute to the environment. This function isn't available for every cycle, unfortunately.
