No cabinet door to buy, no fascia to fit, no aperture to cut, and it comes with you if you move.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the only freestanding dishwasher Lamona make, and Howdens do not offer it in white. You cannot buy Lamona without a Howdens trade account. We have one, so you can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRead this first — the gap it needs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe machine is \u003cstrong\u003e598mm wide, 598mm deep and 850–870mm high\u003c\/strong\u003e on its four adjustable feet, so it will sit under a standard worktop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIgnore Howdens' published \"Installation Dimension Width\" of 570mm.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is 28mm narrower than the appliance's own body, which is physically impossible, and we are not going to reprint it as a fitting figure. Plan your gap on the \u003cstrong\u003e598mm body width\u003c\/strong\u003e with a little to spare so the machine can be slid in and levelled, and allow room in front for the door to drop open. The published installation depth of 600mm against a 598mm body is sensible and consistent; it is only the width figure that is wrong. Ask us for the installation manual before you commit to a gap and we will send it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it will hold and how it washes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14 place settings\u003c\/strong\u003e and a maximum plate diameter of \u003cstrong\u003e32cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the number that decides whether your dinner plates actually fit. The upper basket is \u003cstrong\u003eheight adjustable\u003c\/strong\u003e and both baskets have \u003cstrong\u003efolding tines\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you can drop the top basket for tall glasses or fold the tines flat for pans. There is a \u003cstrong\u003ecutlery tray\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interior is \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the filter is removable, and there is an \u003cstrong\u003eanti-flood device\u003c\/strong\u003e and an overflow detection system.

There is a \u003cstrong\u003e24-hour delay start\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003echildlock\u003c\/strong\u003e, and six temperature settings.

Twelve are named, so twelve exist as far as we can tell — but if the exact programme count matters to you, ask us and we will confirm with the depot before you order. Note also that Howdens advertise a \u003cstrong\u003e30-minute quick wash\u003c\/strong\u003e in a features row but do not say which of \"Quick Wash\" and \"Extra Fast\" it is, so we cannot tell you the duration of either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRunning costs and noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnergy rating \u003cstrong\u003eC\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e75kWh per 100 cycles\u003c\/strong\u003e, an estimated \u003cstrong\u003e214kWh a year\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e9 litres of water per cycle\u003c\/strong\u003e — less than most people use washing up by hand.
