Manual of product WKIC3C26
Editorial note
The Whirlpool WKIC3C26 dishwasher stands out with its generous capacity of 14 place settings, making this appliance ideal for large families or meals with friends. With a noise level of only 46 dB, it offers quiet operation, which is an asset for maintaining a pleasant environment. The 8 available wash programs, including options for delicate glasses and intensive cleaning, provide appreciated flexibility to adapt to different types of dishes. Additionally, the built-in converter technology helps optimize energy consumption, contributing to savings on electricity bills. The 24-hour delayed start is also a strong point, allowing you to schedule the wash cycle in advance according to your availability. However, some aspects could be improved. The noise level of 46 dB, while reasonable, may be perceived as bothersome in a quiet environment. Furthermore, the cycle duration of 190 minutes may seem long for those seeking a quick washing solution. The energy efficiency class E could lead to higher electricity costs, which might affect the overall value of the product. Finally, with a weight of 35.5 kg, installing and moving the appliance can be challenging, especially in tight spaces. In terms of scores, the user experience is generally positive with a rating of 75, although the program selection interface may pose some difficulties. The product's performance is rated adequate with a score of 70, but the cycle duration remains a friction point. The modern stainless steel design receives a score of 80, while reparability is also favorable with an index of 7.7, reflecting the product's durability. The features, rated at 85, are a significant asset, and technical support could be improved to optimize the user experience. Finally, the provided manual is helpful, but it could benefit from additional details. In summary, the Whirlpool WKIC3C26 is a high-performing and functional dishwasher, well-suited to the needs of families, despite some drawbacks to consider.Score details
