Over 100 cycles, it consumes 76 kWh of energy, and with a water consumption of just 9 litres per cycle, it is an economical choice for those mindful of water usage.
One of the standout features of the CDA CDI4121 is its quiet operation, with a noise level of just 47 dB, making it suitable for open-plan living spaces or for running at night without causing disruption. This quietness is further enhanced by an extra silent option, ideal for those who prefer minimal noise while the appliance is running.
The dishwasher offers six different wash programmes, including an Eco mode for energy-efficient cleaning, and an Intensive cycle for those times when dishes need a more thorough clean. The Quick Wash option, which takes just 30 minutes, is perfect for lightly soiled dishes, while the Hygiene Pro programme ensures maximum cleanliness, ideal for baby bottles or chopping boards. The inclusion of a half-load function is particularly useful for smaller households, allowing you to save water and energy when the dishwasher isn't full.
In terms of design, the CDI4121 is fully integrated, blending seamlessly into any kitchen design. It is controlled by easy-to-use button controls, with an LED display to monitor the selected programme. The dishwasher features adjustable feet to ensure a perfect fit during installation, and the interior cavity is made from durable stainless steel, contributing to its longevity. There are two spray heads to ensure thorough cleaning coverage throughout the interior.
The dishwasher is designed with user convenience in mind. It features adjustable racking, allowing flexibility when loading larger pots or more awkwardly shaped dishes. There’s a dedicated cutlery basket to keep your utensils organised and ensure they receive a thorough clean. Although there is no cutlery tray, the basket provides ample space for knives, forks, and spoons. The CDA CDI4121 also offers important safety features such as anti-flood protection, which helps to prevent water damage by automatically shutting off the water supply if a leak is detected.
Additional features include a delay timer, allowing you to schedule a wash up to 19 hours in advance, which is ideal for taking advantage of off-peak energy rates or ensuring your dishes are ready at a convenient time. The appliance also comes with glassware protection, safeguarding your delicate glasses during the cleaning cycle. The floor light indicator is a handy feature that lets you know when the cycle is finished without needing to open the door.
Furthermore, the dishwasher is equipped with an antibacterial filter to maintain hygiene standards, and its Aquazone cleaning technology ensures targeted cleaning for different zones within the dishwasher. Electronic softener adjustment caters for areas with hard water, ensuring optimal cleaning results and preventing limescale build-up.
Overall, the CDA CDI4121 is a practical and efficient dishwasher, packed with features to ensure convenience and high performance. Its compact size makes it a great option for smaller kitchens, while its range of wash programmes and flexible design ensures it meets a variety of household needs.
