Samsung - 24" AutoRelease Dry Smart Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher with 3rd Rack, Linear Wash, 39dBA - Stainless Steel

I highly recommend this Samsung dishwasher! The sleek design fits perfectly in my kitchen, and the performance is outstanding. It’s incredibly quiet at 39dBA, so I can run it anytime without disrupting the household. It has a nice chime when the operation is done. The AutoRelease Dry feature leaves my dishes spotless and dry, and the third rack is a game changer for organizing utensils and smaller items. The linear wash technology ensures every dish is cleaned thoroughly. Overall, it’s a fantastic upgrade, both in terms of functionality and style!

This dishwasher was replacing an 8-year old Kenmore Elite that had several repairs in the previous year. We had two requirements: it must be quiet (open floor plan with a TV nearby) and handle-less (dishwasher is built into a corner with drawers next to it.) This dishwasher is 39 dB. The only sound we hear is the water swishing as it cleans--very, very quiet. I think 42 dB would have been quiet enough for our needs, and anything 44dB or less is considered "quiet." This dishwasher cleans well enough that I only have to use the 60 minute wash for everything. Such an improvement since we used to need a 2:50 wash to get anything clean before. Also, the door that opens automatically at the end of the cycle is wonderful! The dishes are completely dry if left for a couple hours or overnight. It works even better than a heated dry cycle. I love it. I wasn't sure I would like three racks, but even with the third top rack, there is enough room for plates and tall cups on the other two racks. The plates on the bottom rack in the image are Corelle dinner plates and our 10 3/4" Mikasa plates also fit. The cup on the top rack in the image is a 14-oz tumbler. My 20-oz Contigo travel mug also fits in the top rack. The shallow third rack is the only place that my snapware lids fit very well, and they do collect a little bit of water since they are flat, however this is a small price to pay when absolutely everything else dries completely. The third rack is also awesome for plastic chopsticks and other small items that used to fall through the racks in my other dishwasher. The only downside to this dishwasher is that we use a lot of bowls, and the bottom rack configuration is not good for very many cereal-sized bowls. It is designed for plates with an open area (no tines) for mixing bowls or pots. To compensate, we put most bowls on the top rack and move some mugs to the bottom rack area where there are no tines. Overall, this dishwasher is amazingly quiet, washes well and quickly, dries beautifully, and has hidden buttons to avoid accidentally canceling a cycle if I lean against it (which used to happen all the time with our other dishwasher.) The surface is easy to clean, doesn't seem to show fingerprints or smudges very much, and (bonus!) doesn't even have a raised brand logo on the front, making it even easier to wipe down and keep clean. I am delighted with this purchase, and hoping that it stays repair-free for many years!

It’s a dishwasher, it works! Probably all you need to know right there. But I’ll go more in depth. There are a lot of settings, it’s easy to adjust to what you need to wash your dishes to make them come out sparkling clean and dry. There is a smart phone app which is nice, can turn on the dishwasher from another room with just your cellphone. Not necessary but it’s neat to have. Lots of space inside to fit pretty much anything you would need, it holds all the dishes in place so they don’t rattle around. Once the dishes are done, the door pops open so with multiple people in the house it’s easy to know at a glance if the dishes are clean. There is a timer once you start the dishwasher so you know exactly how long until it’s done, which is also nice. No leaks, looks like it’s really sealed in tight. And it runs really quiet so you won’t hear it unless you’re right next to it. Don’t know what other features you would want for a dishwasher. The surface can attract fingerprints but easy to clean if you care about that. Only had it for about a month but so far no compliments. If you get it, I would get the three year warranty as well; just for peace of mind. I know I did. But I don’t see it running into any problems
