Smeg DF6FAB free-standing dishwasher

If you already have a Smeg refrigerator (or the recently featured Gorenje), you may also be interested in the Smeg DF6FAB free-standing dishwasher.

Available in eight colours, including the orange pictured here, its classic 1950s exterior belies a state-of-the-art machine with a range of impressive functions. It is energy efficient, whisper-quiet, and offers the versatility of 5 temperatures setting and 10 programmes. It also has space for up to 14 place settings so is large enough to cope with any dinner party washing up.

It is available to buy at most of the usual electrical retailers, priced around £760, but Co-op Electrical Shop is offering it for £699.
