Ocean Dishwasher, 13 Place Settings, 8 Programmes, Digital, Inox, ODA 813 VXB

The Ocean ODA 813 VXB is a Turkish built 60 cm dishwasher that gives you something the Egyptian assembled competition does not: a published energy label. Ocean prints the full product fiche in the manual — A++ energy, drying class A, 0.917 kWh and 9 litres per Eco cycle, 57 dB, 43 kg net — so nothing here is guesswork. It takes 13 place settings across two baskets with a height adjustable upper rack, two foldable tine rows in the lower basket and a proper cutlery basket. The eight programmes are the real strength: alongside Prewash, a 14 minute Mini, a 30 minute Quick, a 50 minute Super and the 222 minute Eco, there are three Smart auto cycles at 30-50, 50-60 and 60-70 degrees that read the load and set their own time. Extra Hygiene, Extra Rinse, Extra Drying and Half Load are all separate options, the Super Active Drying Unit cracks the door open at the end of the cycle, and Natural Ion Tech runs as its own sterilising cycle. A six level water softener handles hard Egyptian water. Radio Talaat supplies it in inox with the official Ocean Egypt warranty.
