Starting with design, both models feature a sleek, modern aesthetic that can seamlessly integrate into any kitchen environment. The stainless steel finish not only contributes to a sophisticated look but also offers durability and resistance to fingerprints, ensuring that your dishwasher maintains its immaculate appearance over time.
