no prewash
Every programme in this machine is without prewash, due to the dispenser design. That's good with gel/liquid detergents
If one WANTS a prewash has to run rinse&hold (guess by pushing "eco" twice)
This upper rack is far better than the REX VISI one, as it lacks those dreadful stemware/plates holders that don't fit large bowls.
It's a sample of latest Zann'o'lux : Zannish washarms, AEGish filter.
Some time ago Louis posted a pic of the AEG VISI version

actually it is that dreadful "mushroom" in the centre of the top rack. You can see the level ctrl window and the opening button, to tilt back the cover and refill. The same cover has a small sump on it that is the detergent dispenser : that's why this machine has no prewash+wash programmes
How does this R.A. dispenser work ? This is a good question, as I haven't noticed anything electrical in the upper basket water feed, even when I saw the real machine
Do hate those "mushrooms" that waste plenty of place (try to fit a large salad bowl). In other Zanussi DW this odd thing is used as prewash detergent dispenser

I notice there are just four left-right rows of tines on the lower level's rack.
Like in the Bosch, what is the European aversion to having six or seven rows (from front to back) to better fits small plates and small bowls?
Please understand, Euro machines are a bit small [from our perspective] to start with (depth and height) "Bad racking" dosn't help capacity issues.

what about the cutlery basket in the middle of the rack ??
Only euro Whirlpool does worse with a bigger (and not divisible) basket. Mieles and AEGs have back to front tines ... but they are 2 couples of rows (each dish needs two tines). Small plates and bowls go up..rack
Some years ago SMEG made some 70-centimetres-wide DW. Those held 16 places vs the std 12 ones, had two lower arms and four small middle arms. Have to look for that catalogue, then I'll post some scan

Well, that's just they work over here. Most dishwashers have two types of tines - so to speak - as can be seen in the pictures above. The tines to the left are for dinner plates, saucers etc. The tines to the right, which are wider spaced apart, are for deep plates. That's how it works. When I look at illustration (Recommended Loading Pattern) from US dishwashers and it seems like they usually advice to overlap plates on the edges. Also, I have seen plates loaded in US racks that tilt forward because the tines are spaced so far apart. We don't have that here in Europe. One could probably say our dishwashers are a little more anal about loading - everything has its place.
As for size: actually, the EU dishwashers you get over there are taller than ours. That is because our kitchen counters are two inches lower than yours. Only a couple of years ago, the trend towards higher counters started in Europe. If you go to miele.com, you see both G1000 and G2000 models being sold. The G1000 models would be what most people have in their kitchen in Europe (although the G2000 are available, too). Depth-wise our dishwasher are a little shorter because, I guess, we want that integrated, flush look with nothing sticking out.
Here's a pic of our old AEG: you can see dinner plates to the left, deep ones to the right and small plates next to the cutlery basket.
