For How Many Family Members?
This IFB dishwasher Neptune Vx 12 place setting is good enough for mid-size families ( 3 to 4 members family). We are a total of 4 members in our family that’s why we chose this IFB 12 place setting dishwasher.
I have seen some websites recommending this dishwasher for 5 to 6 family members. But please don’t consider it for this family size. You won’t find enough space for loading your dishes in it.
For Extra Space
Height adjustable rack. You can adjust the height of the rack according to the utensils so that you can put your big vessels easily in the second rack.
About Wash Programs
There are main 8 wash programs for washing your different types of dishes.


Note: Remove the plug before loading the utensils in your dishwasher otherwise, you may feel electricity current.
1. Prewash
This wash cycle is not for washing your used or dirty dishes. Prewash is useful when you just want to rinse your utensils that are kept for a long time.
In other words, freshen up your dishes with only water in 15 minutes.
Prewash is also useful if you forget to dip your dishes in water before loading the dishwasher or don’t want to rinse them before keeping them in the dishwasher.
Note: I often run this 15 minutes program one or two times after the completion of the washing cycle. Because I need to rinse my dishes more to completely remove the detergent.

Which Dishwasher Size Should You Prefer?
Generally, 12 places setting dishwasher is recommended for medium-sized families. We have a 4 member family so we bought this 12 place setting dishwasher.
But in our family, we frequently use vessels for making different dishes the whole day. That’s why we feel we had to buy 15 places setting dishwashers to loading dishes at a time. So you also need one size larger than the recommended dishwasher size if you cook different dishes and use more vessels.
But again if there is no electricity problem in your area (There is a frequent power cut in our area) and you stay at home the whole day, you could easily buy 12 places setting dishwasher for your 4 member’s family no matter how much utensils you are using whole day. The simple solution is you could load your dishwasher two or three times than loading one time. This is really manageable and you could also save your hard-earned money. Because a 15 place setting dishwasher is more costly than a 12 place settings dishwasher.
Buy
- You need to understand the machine and try different programs to wash the different vessels and get the best performance.
Don’t Buy
- If there is a frequent power cut in your city.
USP Of This IFB Dishwasher
The washing cycle resumes itself in case of a power cut. So there is no waste of time and you can easily use this dishwasher even if electricity problem in your area.
Be careful if you are planning to purchase any dishwasher especially when the power is frequently cut in your area. Yes, the program cycle will resume but still, you have to wait for more for completing the whole cycle.
Ex: There are different wash cycles in a dishwasher. There is a 2:51 minutes program, 1:51 minutes, 30 minutes program cycle, etc. But generally, a 30-minute program is not so efficient to wash your utensils perfectly.
So if you set the 2:51 minutes program and the power cut in the middle of the cycle, and power on after 1 to 2 hours. So you can imagine the cycle will take 5 to 6 hours. It doesn’t happen if there is no electricity problem in your area.
IFB After Sales Service
IFB helpline number: 18604255678
You will get IFB service centers in almost every city. When you find any kind of problem with your dishwasher, you can call the service center number. They will come to your place and provide the best solutions.
In my case, Every Time I get support after two to three days after contacting them. It is not necessary that you will also get a late response from the IFB service center in your area. I think it varies from city to city.
If I will talk about the servicing only (not considering the time), you will be 100 percent satisfied with that.
Wrapping Up
After using it and as per my experience, the IFB dishwasher is great. But you need some time to adjust with this dishwasher to get a great performance.
