A:AnswerI was skeptical about this whole "door opening thing", too. And I purchased this, expecting to hate it... but I absolutely love this Samsung DW.
Since there isn't a heating element, a fan goes on near the end of the washing cycle when the door opens just a bit, allowing the condensation to escape. And no... your kitchen won't get steamy, in fact it's so quiet and minimal you won't even notice (unless you happen to spy it in action).
The 3rd top drawer is a wonderful attribute, too. Your silverware will come out sparking every time.
A:AnswerHi, having been looking for a replacement dishwasher for about a year, I found that this model was the best on the market, I spoke to friends who had purchased Bosch, and they seemed happy but I have always been a fan of Samsung. This dishwasher is SO quiet its unbelievable, the only way you really know that it is running is sometimes there is a slight noise when the cycle is in rinse mode, (draining into my disposal) other than that its the blue light on the front. It was very easy to install, with the help of a friend who thought it would be funny to show up with a "sledge hammer" and "adjustable wrench" to help me remove the old one.....LOL
If you need to add another item you just open the door and add the item.
The quick wash is 60 minutes and works great
I am one who has always rinsed my dishes before I put them into the dishwasher
One other nice feature is that if you leave the dishwasher on when you return the door automatically opens to help dry the washed dishes - FYI, this is a setting on the dishwasher.
Enjoy.......
A:AnswerI am including a link to a helpful guide to support your concerns on loading the dishwasher (https://bit.ly/3lZb925). We thank you for choosing Samsung for your home! ^Lena
A:AnswerThe door lays flat and parallel to the floor. It has mechanical resistance to it laying flat, which is quality in the product. There is no bouncing effect to it, it's not like opening a refrigerator door.
A:AnswerYou can barely hear it running. It has sound dampening material on the outside of the unit. It's quiet enough to the point where you have to get next to it to know if it's running.
A:AnswerStorm Wash is an extra nozzle at the bottom left of the unit to direct another spray for "heavily soiled"pots and pans. This is an option during the wash cycle that can be turned on, not automatic for every cycle.
The Linear wash is the model where the nozzle moves back and forth like a car wash instead of being stationary (the bottom nozzle).
A:AnswerExcellent question! According to page 13 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/3jFHn3k) this dishwasher will only require a single hot water connection. ^Jecca
A:AnswerThere is a "Hidden Heat Element" that's 1100 watts. In fact, I don't know exactly where it is but I suspect its internal to a water line. It's not a traditional element that you are used to seeing in the bottom of the machine.
I was skeptical about it not having a "traditional" heater element also, but rest assured, this unit dry's dishes and even plastic stuff better than any other machine I've had. It really is an excellent machine. And no - I don't work for SAMSUNG. Good Luck!

A:AnswerHi Linda! This model has a cutlery rack that sits in the lower rack, as well as a third upper rack that can also be used for silverware. For more details about the best ways to load the dishwasher, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3jPwewr. ^Jecca
A:AnswerHi Ron! The upper rack is removable. Page 14 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/2V2G17p) can show you how. You can also adjust the height of the racks (instructions are on page 13) to your preference. ^Jecca
