The advantage of a slimline dishwasher is that it fits where a 60 cm machine will not – between the fridge and the wall, say, or in the corner of a small kitchen. Even so, the DSFO 3T224 C S takes 10 place settings, each one being the plates, glass, cup and cutlery for one person. A whole day's dishes for a household of two or three fit into a single load.
The 9 programmes are selected on the electronic control panel and the choice is shown on the display. A delay start of up to 24 hours is this model's strong point: load it in the evening and let it start the next day exactly when nobody is home, or during the night. According to the supplier there is no dedicated quick wash programme, so it suits people who wash full loads at a time.
Washing class A rates cleaning performance, and A is the top class on that scale. Water consumption is 9 litres per cycle, which makes this slimline machine an economical way to do the dishes. On the EU energy label scale from A to G it is rated class E, using 76 kWh per 100 wash cycles. The current rating is 10 A, so a standard socket in good order is enough.
The machine measures 45 × 59 × 90 cm (width × depth × height) and weighs 39.5 kg. As a freestanding model it needs no furniture door or niche, but with a height of 90 cm it is worth measuring first if you plan to place it under a window sill or a shelf. There is no AquaStop leak protection on this model, so it is sensible to check the hose connections after installation. The silver body goes with grey and stainless steel appliances.
The display on the electronic control panel shows the selected programme and settings, so you do not have to remember what you chose last time. To make 10 place settings fit neatly and come out clean, put large plates and bowls in the lower basket and glasses and cups in the upper one, and make sure the spray arms can turn freely. Large items should not block the detergent dispenser.
The Indesit DSFO 3T224 C S suits a small kitchen, a rented flat or a summer house where the dishwasher is not built into the units and only 45 cm of space is available. For a household of two or three, 10 place settings is about right, and the 24-hour delay start together with noise class B lets you time the wash so that it disturbs nobody.
