In April 2015 I renovated my kitchen and an Ikea Välgjord has been working flawlessly ever since.
Positives:
The dishwasher runs very quietly and offers enough storage space and options for variation. The dishes are clean and dry (except of course plastic parts and water in horizontal recesses/bases of dishes). There are only minimal lime residues (water hardness level: hard, total hardness 20).
The LED spot on the floor indicates the status (red: program running, green: program finished), this is a small substitute for the remaining time that is not visible (display only visible when door is open).
The eco program works perfectly. It takes almost 4 hours, but everything is clean and dry. My favorite program.
The pre-programming function is also very good; since the dishwasher runs very quietly, it can calmly start early in the morning and be finished by breakfast.
Tested detergents:
alio compact dishwasher powder, alio salt and alio rinse aid (Aldi-Süd)
Denk mit (dm) dishwasher powder
Negatives:
Auto program
Tested once and unfortunately did not achieve a good result. The automatic mode assumed that the dishes were clean and the program finished after 45 minutes. Unfortunately, a few more heavily soiled parts were also in the Välgjord, which of course were not cleaned. The sensors simply can’t work miracles. I cannot recommend the Auto program.
_______________
The product description states:
"- The hygiene program for cleaning the interior and water tank starts automatically after every 6th wash cycle."
I cannot confirm this. It is not mentioned in the manual either, and the English text on [URL_INTERNA] does not mention this function.
