FWIW I'm not sure I like integrated appliances in general. An
integrated dsishwasher has to have somewhat odd (and confusing for new
users) controls.

I find pressing a quality tactile button twice to select the programme
and then shutting the door considerably easier than revolving one of
those horrible motorised switches to the start position (which is
usually half way between two of the markings and will only go round one
way, causing you to attempt to find the exact position about four times).

Whether you do one or other depends on more than whether the item is
built-in or not. Our Bosch d/w requires the pressing of one button once
for it run on its default setting.
