Heavy-duty StormWash is beautifully designed with a flat handle and has powerful rotating spray jets that clean at every angle for tough-to-reach spots. Take advantage of silent washes for a quieter kitchen at 48dBA sound level. The AutoRelease door automatically opens to circulate air and improve drying performance, while the third rack provides additional loading capacity.
Q: Does this get dishes dry? No condensation, etc.
A: No it does not, most dishes still feel wet to the touch and plastic items are soaked.
A: Sorry to hear that I live in a 1000 square foot house and I hardly can hear the one I've got.
A: Yes. The top of the dishwasher has two clips that fasten to the bottom of the countertop. Use short screws or they will go through the laminate. If your countertop is stone install a thin strip of wood with liquid nails and screw the clips to the wood.
A: No it does just have the plastic floor base with the rubber seal around it. If you like to give it a more finished look you can just add a floor molding piece to match what you have with the cabinets in your kitchen. Just don’t use screws/nails through the plastic piece because it will not support it. Tied mine into the cabinets on both sides and used a silicon based seal on the molding to the plastic, same stuff you would use for molding around the house. This will also allow you to remove it easily if their is a future problem.
Q: Does this model have a hard food disposer? It says it does, but where is it located in the machine?
A: Yes. This dishwasher has a hard food disposer within it. The hard food disposer is located below the bottom washer arm.
A: There is no heating element (which we were concerned about, as well) but this dishwasher dries perfectly. Minutes before the entire cycle is done, the door auto opens to assist in the drying process. As you know, your rinse aid helps the drying also. We use Cascade Platinum Pods and Cascade Platinum Power Dry which do a beautiful job on the dishes. We have had/purchased many different brands of dishwashers including Bosch, GE, KitchenAid (the most expensive KitchenAid model and was my favorite), LG, Maytag, and this Samsung is comparable to the best of these brands. We purchased what we are hoping is our last home this past summer and bought a whole Samsung kitchen suite in the Tuscan finish. It all works great and looks beautiful in our kitchen.
Q: Does it have an external indicator light to know when the cycle is in progress?
A: Yes... it has indicator lights to signify time left on cycle.
Q: Is it magnetic on the front?
A: Yes, the stainless steel is magnetic.
