"Excellent high spec washer looks great and seems to work well. The controls are a bit complicated and I dont suppose we will use half the buttons once we get into a routine. We bought this to replace a 15 year old bosch and so far very pleased if it lasts half as long as that we will be pleased. "
"Slightly smaller than my previous dishwsher but it is sooooo quiet"

"Such a variety of programs and symbols to get used to and need to keep referring to the booklet. Would much prefer a cutlery basket than the shelf where the cutlery just seems to lie. This has a knock on effect on the height of the lower shelves. My plates are a standard size but have had to raise the top shelf which then means I can't get taller glasses on the top shelf as the cutlery rack is in the way. Also the machine stays wet even using the hygiene function though the crockery is dry. Overall if I had known how this would perform I would have chosen something else."

"Different from my last dishwasher and the first time i've had a cutlery tray. Can be difficult regarding large dinner plates but not impossible."

DO NOT BUY
The only reason I bought this dishwasher is because we were desperate and I couldn’t get the Bosch one I wanted as it wasn’t in stock. So, after hours of trawling through the internet I thought that this Samsung one looked really good for the price.
It arrived and looked great, lots of programmes which made sense, once we had deciphered the poorly proof read instruction book. (This should have rung warning bells as Bosch and Siemens instruction books are pretty much perfect). Then I went to use it. I pulled the drawers in and out a few times and felt the middle one didn’t lineup properly unless you jiggle it, worse when it’s weighed down with crockery. The bottom one also got stuck and came off it’s rails when trying to get it in. I started to load it and could not find a sensible way of fitting mugs and glasses into the top basket. The angles and depths of the ‘shelves’ incorporated into the baskets, are not big enough to fit glasses and cups on without them sliding off. The prongs in both baskets are too close together and you can’t fit different size plates and bowls in without removing everything and reloading it every time you add some crockery.
I’ve also discovered the problem other reviewers have commented about, which is not being able to fit plates in the bottom with pint glasses in the top, unless you do some complicated manoeuvring of the shelves, this still didn’t leave the plates clear of the impeller. How absolutely ridiculous. Also, the cutlery tray at the top is just a gimmick. It is really fiddly to fit all of the cutlery next to each other and isn’t grippy enough so cutlery slides to the middle. It took me so long to load the cutlery that I could have washed it up faster.
The 1 hour fast wash seemed great as all other wash cycles are really long, but it failed to wash the dishes properly and there was a lot of dirty water residue on top of all the mugs. The load was only lightly soiled as well.
My final gripe is that the cap for the rinse aid compartment comes completely away. In all the other dishwasher I have had experience of using the ‘cap’ has been incorporated into a lift up flap that stays attached. I could see this new one going missing.
Anyway, my husband is unplugging it later and I’d rather stick with my 10 year old Bosch that’s falling apart but still works.

"Easy to use - quick or regular washes depending on how spiked the plates are. Very quiet and economical. "
