• The DT8S’s small size will not fit large utensils. You will be using this dishwasher more than once per day.
• Long wash cycle – ECO takes 3hrs and 15mins (longest wash cycle) to Mini, which takes 30mins (does not dry). It also does not have a half load option due to its small size.
• This countertop dishwasher does not come with adjustable racks making loading dirty dishes and odd-shaped utensils an art you need to master.
• Washing utensils made from aluminum, copper, brass, iron, and plastic in your dishwasher will cause it to stain.

Voltas Beko Table Top/Countertop Dishwasher DT8S is an excellent choice for smaller families (less than three members) and bachelors. It is portable, easy to use, compact, and delivers excellent results.

This fully electronic dishwasher can remove oil stains, masalas, and other tough stains from your dishes. It uses hot water (heats water to 70C) to clean your vessels and kills most germs, making it a hygienic wash.

Watch out for longer wash cycles. The intensive mode takes 2hrs and 40mins, which is too long for washing dishes. If you have a party, this dishwasher will not handle the load, best suited for small families with fewer dishes.

• This Voltas Beko is a smart dishwasher. It connects with your WiFi and allows you to control its wash programs using the Home Whiz app.
• The Voltas Beko 15 PS Full Size Dishwasher DF15SP is large, easy to use, and offers efficient cleaning performance.
• This Voltas dishwasher comes with 15 place settings capable of washing all your dishes at one go.
• It comes with nine wash programs and four additional wash programs to download using the HomeWhiz app to handle different loads.
• The main wash programs also have auxiliary functions such as TrayWash, SteamGloss, Super Rinse, Half Load, and Fast+

• It provides hygienic cleaning using 70C water temperature and powerful water jets using its inbuilt heater.

• The Voltas Beko Freestanding DF15SP has lengthy wash cycles. The Auto mode takes between 112mins to 180mins. A lengthy wash cycle means you need to wait until your dishes are clean.
• All the features and WiFi connectivity makes it expensive. Also, it is not Alexa enabled.
• Despite its adjustable racks, loading this dishwasher to make the best use of its space will take time to master.
• You cannot wash utensils made from aluminum, copper, brass, iron, and plastic in this dishwasher, as it will cause these to stain.
• The build quality does not justify its heft price tag. The stainless steel is thin, and the adjustments in the racks are flimsy.

Overall, the Beko DF15SP Freestanding dishwasher is a smart choice for the modern Indian kitchen. It has all the features you expect from a freestanding dishwasher and uses hot water to wash dirty dishes. It is an excellent choice for large families with tons of Indian cooking.

While the upfront cost is high, over time, this dishwasher machine will pay for itself. Voltas is a TATA brand, a name that we trust. The after-sales network is good and is proactive in service calls.

We did not like the build quality. There is a high chance of damage in transit. Also, the adjustable racks are not user-friendly. You will need to read the user manual to learn these adjustments. You can get a Bosch dishwasher in the same price range as this Voltas Beko dishwasher. Please read our full review and choose the one that suits your family the best.

• This dishwasher is super expensive. You can buy two LG dishwashers for the same amount.
• While German engineering is great, we are unsure about the local service engineer’s knowledge or the availability of spares in India.

Siemens IQ500 SN258I06TE 14 place settings freestanding dishwasher is the most advanced in India. It’s performance, build quality, innovative features are the best.

It is a perfect fit for people with deep pockets who like to have the best in their homes. Low power consumption, efficient water usage, excellent cleaning performance, and stunning looks are what you get from this dishwasher.

Siemens IQ500 SN258I06TE will be the best dishwasher in India if they can lower the price, fix the Home Connect App, and improve their customer service.

• This machine is a 12 place settings dishwasher, sufficient for four people, easy to use, and efficient in cleaning.

• The IFB motor has low power consumption (energy efficient), silent in operation, and low water usage.
• It provides hygienic cleaning raising the water temperature to 70C.

• The IFB Neptune VX dishwasher is the oldest dishwasher model in India. First released in 2014, IFB continues with this model due to its popularity.
• Being an old model means it is limited in terms of modern features and easy washing cycles. Also, it is not a connected device. There are no smartphone apps to manage this kitchen appliance.
• IFB after-sales and service is poor. While the machine itself is reliable, once the warranty runs out, you are at the mercy of their service personnel.
• Watch out! Parts not covered by the warranty/AMC are expensive.
• You cannot wash utensils made from aluminum, copper, brass, iron, and plastic in this dishwasher, as it will cause these to stain.

Overall, the IFB Neptune VX dishwasher strikes a nice balance between cost and features. Remember, 12 place settings cannot handle the dirty dishes of a large family. Also, this is an old model, first released way back in 2014. On the positive side, it is a reliable old workhorse. It still delivers excellent washing performance.

The bottom line is that we don’t recommend this dishwasher. We believe the cons outweigh the benefits. Remember, IFB can discontinue this model whenever they want. If you are keen on an IFB dishwasher, choose the IFB Neptune VX plus dishwasher.
