Delonghi DDW06S Cristallo Ultimo Dishwasher Reviews

The appliances of the Italian Delonghi group are renowned far beyond Italy's borders. Founded in 1902, the company itself long supplied only its domestic market, but by 1975, everything had changed. Today, it's a leading manufacturer of household appliances, launching, among other things, the Delonghi DDW06S Cristallo Ultimo dishwasher. We're still unfamiliar with this machine, so we decided to read reviews to see if anyone could offer more details.

About six months ago, my husband and I decided to remodel our kitchen. We wanted to make the space more functional. Without going into details, I wanted to place a large dishwasher next to the sink. But I couldn't do it because we couldn't find a 60 cm niche. The closest we got was 52 cm for a narrow dishwasher. Narrow dishwashers typically have a small capacity, so I was upset, but my husband reassured me by promising to find a suitable option, and he did – the Delonghi DDW06S Cristallo Ultimo. What's so special about this dishwasher?

1. It can easily fit 12 place settings, and if you try hard enough, you can squeeze in 13. If you look at the specifications of most narrow washing machines, you'll see that they can fit 9-10 place settings at most.
2. The dishwasher has convenient modern digital controls and a display.
3. It is not noisy and uses only 9 liters of water per wash.
4. It has six washing programs, six temperature settings, and a half load function.

I like the express program. It washes dishes quickly and the results are almost always excellent.

5. Water hardness is adjusted automatically. There's an audible signal at the end of the wash cycle.
6. The leak protection is the most comprehensive, with indicators that will tell you when it's time to add salt or rinse aid.
7. And finally, like any modern dishwasher, the Delonghi DDW06S Cristallo Ultimo has a 3-in-1 tablet tray.

The machine's characteristics are simply amazing, and it also performed well in operation. It washes cleanly, and even though I turn it on every day, it has never had a program failure. Everything seems to be reliable. The price is also very reasonable. I paid $432 for it. I give it the highest rating!

The machine is quite cheap for such a compact design. You'd be tempted to find a catch, but there isn't one. It cleans perfectly, no question about it. Water and detergent consumption are minimal. It's very quiet. If you put some soundproofing material between the dishwasher and the niche it's installed in, it'll be absolutely perfect. I highly recommend it!

The Delonghi DDW06S Cristallo Ultimo makes user interaction easier with a multitude of indicators. Forgot to add salt, the indicator lights up; forgot to add detergent, and the machine prompts you. For me, a forgetful person, this is the perfect option. The machine does its job perfectly; there's nothing to complain about, not even worth trying. I've been happily using it for almost a year now and haven't had any issues so far.

We chose this dishwasher because we know the quality of Delonghi appliances well. I consider the dishwasher's main advantages to be its flawless cleaning and drying. I always wanted a machine with a turbo dryer, but it turns out a condenser dryer can work flawlessly too. The machine is sturdy and well-assembled from quality parts. I think it will last for at least several years.

This dishwasher is a budget model, as the price suggests, but the actual build is quite expensive. I wonder how the manufacturer managed to achieve this? I personally bought this machine a year ago during a pre-New Year's special offer. I didn't install it until a month later because it was being repaired. The machine works perfectly, there's not much to say about it. I'm writing this only to refute some of the unflattering comments about this machine on the forum. Anyone who writes nasty things about it is a liar. It's immediately obvious, since they don't even have any information about "their" machine. I don't like it when good things are trashed...

I just had the Delonghi DDW06S Cristallo Ultimo dishwasher installed the day before yesterday. I'm eager to share my impressions. It's built-in, works well, and isn't noisy. My first time using it, I crammed the dishes in haphazardly, but it still cleaned them well. This is clearly a professional appliance, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in my life. I highly recommend it!

Tatiana, Moscow

Buying this machine turned into a real epic for me. I changed my mind three times, but on the fourth try, I went to the store and bought it. The machine has very convenient baskets, but they're not very suitable for unusual dishes. I had to replace some of the dishes, but that's a minor detail. The machine is modern, packed with various sensors, the purpose of which I only recently discovered when I finally picked up the manual. Five stars!

Men's opinions

Nikolay, Omsk

This narrow machine has a loading capacity similar to a full-size model. Thanks to a number of innovative technical solutions for the interior layout, the machine can accommodate slightly more dishes, surpassing its competitors in this regard. The dishwasher is very well equipped and quite easy to operate. Besides, it is very economical, so I bought it with pleasure and do not regret it.

Vladimir, Rostov-on-Don

A very good dishwasher with all the bells and whistles and at a reasonable price. It's hard to find another one like it. The build quality is excellent. It works like a charm. I highly recommend it!

I'm really upset with the Bosch brand. Their dishwashers used to be the gold standard, but now the Poles have turned everything into crap. I don't know what the company's owners are thinking. I bought one a year ago.Bosch SMS40D12RU dishwasherThree months later, I barely managed to trade it in for a Delonghi DDW06S Cristallo Ultimo. The seller didn't want to refund the money for a defective appliance, but agreed to an exchange. The new machine is excellent, doesn't break down, and does its job well. I'm glad I got rid of the Bosch.
