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.

Hi,
I have also had this dishwasher for a few weeks.
I agree, very quiet, I also prefer to use the Eco program. Once I tried the very short 30-minute program for recently used dishes, that was great too.

I have problems with the cutlery drawer... no matter how I place the coffee spoons in there, they slip out of the holder and often end up with the handle pointing down towards the utensil basket, and then when you pull out the lower basket, of course it gets caught... during the wash cycle everything stays in place, but you pull out the basket several times a day to put in dirty dishes.
I have the same problem with regular knives, they don't stay in place either.
Only forks and soup spoons stay in place quite well.
In any case, very annoying, I wonder if I don’t have the right spoons... they’re just not from Ikea.

But maybe someone has a tip or the same problem...

Best regards
