🔧 Why it’s a Strong Choice for Ugandan/Kampala Users

With 14 place settings, it’s well suited for larger households, small catering operations or frequent dinner hosting.

The quiet operation (low noise) is a plus in open‐plan homes or when kitchen and living spaces are adjacent.

Good water efficiency: Even if water cost/availability is a concern, the water consumption figures are competitive for its capacity.

Flexible programmes let you run smaller loads when needed (half load), helping to save on energy and water over time.

📌 Things to consider before purchase

Ensure you have the correct dimensions (W×H×D) and sufficient space for installation, drainage, and ventilation.

Check the exact model’s energy rating for your region — there are versions with better efficiency and lower annual water/energy consumption.

If you live in an area with varying water pressure or supply issues, make sure installation is done with proper connections and that local service support is available.

As with all appliances, maintenance (cleaning filters, checking seals, using appropriate detergents) will influence longevity and performance.

If opting for WiFi/smart features, ensure the model supports your local network (voltage/Hz) and that service parts or support are accessible locally.
