Slim compact dishwashers are the perfect option for flats or small houses with perhaps one to two people who don’t produce enough dirty dishes to warrant the space of a full-size. If this applies to you then you’ll be glad to know that the Siemens have the perfect dishwasher, the SR256I00TE. Siemens are no newcomers when it comes to leading dishwasher technology. Models like the SN258W06TG and SN236I03MG clearly demonstrate how this manufacturer has created the next level in terms of functionality, energy efficiency and aesthetic. The SR256I00TE is proof that Siemens can deliver all these benefits in a smaller slimline package.
This smaller scale dishwasher will undoubtedly save a lot of energy just by the nature of its size which is a welcome benefit for any user. The SR256I00TE is rated at an impressive A++ with an average consumption rating of 211 kwh per year so there’s no need to worry about excessive running costs. You will also find that the SR256I00TE is kitted out with some of Siemens’ key washing technologies like the Dosage Assist detergent dispenser, iQDrive motor, Automatic detergent-aware system and hydroSensor.
Design Perfection
At first glance the machine exhibits all the hallmarks of the signature Siemens look. The bold but tasteful stainless steel shell gives off a sense of cleanliness which is furthered by the inclusion of a black and white LED control panel and button dashboard across its top section. As with many Siemens appliances, the stainless steel veneer comes with a special anti-fingerprint treatment which keeps grease and much from building up and clouding the machine’s appearance. Loading dishes can sometimes be a dirty job so we found this to be a good maintenance-friendly feature.
There’s a total of six washing programs: auto, economy, glass, intensive, night program and quick wash. Added to these are a further three more special options which are: varioSpeed Plus, intensiveZone and extraDry. Our favourite feature by far is definitely the intensiveZone mode which allows you to clean heavily soiled pots and pans in the same wash as delicates! Usually this would have to be two separate washes as the temperature needed to remove burnt-on grime would damage finer items like wine glasses or china. With intensiveZone, the bottom basket is subject to a hotter more intense wash whilst the upper basket receives a gentler one. You start to see that just because this is a 45cm slimline model, it does not mean any corners are cut or any features dumbed down or simplified.
Great Things In Small Packages
There is a great degree of flexibility to be enjoyed when using the SR256I00TE with the adjustable racking system being one standout feature. When the top basket is filled up with longer items like wine glasses, the top spray arms can sometimes come into contact with them and prevent them from turning and effectively distributing water throughout. With this dishwasher, simply slide the basket into the lower set of guide rails and voila! Another great touch is the blue emotionLight which bathes the contents of the dishwasher in a tasteful cool blue light. Not only does this provide a wonderful aesthetic, it also gives you a clear full view of the contents of the machine when you come to unload it.
