COMFEE' Full Size Freestanding Dishwasher (14 Place Settings) in Black

What this is

The COMFEE' Full Size Freestanding Dishwasher is a 14‑place setting appliance designed to fit into standard UK kitchens while offering a spacious interior. With dimensions of H84.5 cm, W59.8 cm and D60 cm, it aims to accommodate larger plates, pots and pans up to 30 cm in diameter. If you’re after a practical, no-fuss way to keep crockery tidy, this model provides a straightforward wash routine without requiring a bespoke built‑in space.

How it helps day to day

On paper, the energy and water use are sensible for a full‑size machine. It’s rated energy efficiency class C and uses around 0.747 kWh per cycle with roughly 9.8 litres of water, depending on cycle and load. For many households, that translates into a balance between reasonable running costs and a convenient level of dishwashing capacity. The eight wash programs cover a spectrum from quick rinses to more thorough cleaning, including Auto, Intensive, ECO and a dedicated Glass cycle. If you often need to deal with heavily soiled pots or bulk loads, the Rapid and 90‑Minute cycles offer faster turnaround options.

What stands out

One standout feature is Auto‑Open Drying. After the final rinse, the door slightly opens to vent moisture, helping cut down on dampness and improving drying performance. It’s not a flashy gimmick, but it can make a noticeable difference when you’re unloading a fresh batch of clean dishes. The machine also operates quietly, with a whisper‑quiet rating of under 44 dB, so it won’t be a constant background hum in open plan living spaces.

The potential trade‑offs

If you prioritise the absolute lowest energy use or the lowest water consumption, this model is not a top‑tier option. The energy rating is class C, which means there are more efficient machines around, particularly in newer lines. Likewise, the stated water and energy figures are per cycle estimates and can vary with load size and chosen programme. For those who primarily wash small loads or depend on ultra‑low energy operation, this might feel less compelling.

Who it’s for

This dishwasher is a good fit for medium to larger households that need flexible loading space and a range of cycles without chasing premium efficiency. It’s particularly suitable if you frequently deal with big plates or pans up to 30 cm in diameter and value a quiet appliance with a practical mix of programmes.

Who it isn’t ideal for

If you live alone or in a small flat, or if you are highly focused on achieving the very lowest running costs and emissions available, you may want to compare with models that offer higher energy efficiency ratings or smaller footprint options. It might also feel basic for buyers who want ultra‑fast cycles or top‑tier washing performance without compromise.

What to check before buying

• Confirm that your kitchen space corresponds with the external dimensions and that you have enough clearance for door opening.
• Consider typical loads: will you regularly fill to the full 14 place setting capacity, or mostly smaller loads? This impacts per‑cycle efficiency.
• If drying performance is important, test whether Auto‑Open Drying meets your expectations, especially in more humid environments.
• Check noise tolerance, 44 dB is quiet, but in extremely open layouts you may still notice operation noise.

How it compares to alternative approaches

For households weighing options, this full‑sized freestanding model offers a middle ground between compact, space‑saving machines and premium models with higher energy efficiency and faster cycles. If you prioritise practical loading space and a balanced programme set over the absolute lowest running costs, this COMFEE' could be a sensible fit. If your priority is ultra‑low energy use or belt‑and‑braces drying, you may prefer a different option that leans more premium in those areas.
