Great Dishwasher

PostedApril 12, 2013
I would recommend this to a friend!
"I am not sure why people here are complaining. I have had this dishwasher for 2.5 years now and never had a problem. I only ever run it when it's full to the gills. Dishes are sometimes pre rinsed, but not always. I have never had any food residue issues. I use cascade gel packs. I also make sure that I have a rinse agent loaded at all times. I only ever use Normal cycle. Unless you are few inches away from htis dishwasher, you don't know it's runing, it's that quiet. The only time I have ever had an issue was when I put a large bowl right in front of the soap dispenser door. The door didn't open, and naturally the dishes were not clean, but that is not a design flaw. Just make sure that you don't have a dish that obstructs the door and the gell pack, or the detergent, can fall to the bottom of the dishwasher where it is disolved and then circulated through the dishwasher."
Pros: Durable, quiet, cleans well

"We've had it professionally install and have used it for about 11 months, without complaints. Usually used 4-5 times a week and mostly on the half load setting.
Its very quiet and we love the delayed start for off-peak electricity use.
We love the feature with adjustable shelf which comes in handy for taller items.
"
Pros: very quiet, half load setting

SUPER QUIET

PostedOctober 14, 2012
"we love our new dishwasher - we have had it for a few months now and it is super quiet. I have only used the storm wash option a few times now but so far so good!!
It really helps to get things banked on good, off the pots (cheese, potatoes, egg ect...)
We have had not issues with this dishwasher - performance is great!"

Great Dishwasher

PostedJuly 21, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"Cleans our our dishes, does it amazingly quietly, now only if it put them away, not a single complaint. We run full loads on normal with the sanitize option on (manual suggests sanitize for better drying results, we found this option nessary to get totally dry loads, it works great). We use cascade liquid detergent and rinse aid, in short we havn't had a disappointing or unclean load of dishes yet. Not sure what we are doing different than some of the negative reviews on this site, but we are definitely satisfied, well done Samsung."

Brillant clean dishes and so quiet my husband didn't believe I had started the washer plus the half load feature is fantastic for those light dinner nights......thanks Samsung, first I got a great cell phone, now a great dishwasher....looking forward to my next purchase!!!"

ONLY WORKS REALLY WELL ON "HEAVY" SETTING + "SANITIZE" SETTING

PostedMay 3, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I find that I ALWAYS have to use the "HEAVY" setting reserved for pots and pans for my everyday "normal" dishes. The "NORMAL" setting just does not get the dishes clean. I saw a number of other reviewers complaining about the RACK ADJUSTERS, and I also had to have mine replaced after only about 6 months. They are made of such cheap plastic, that they snap very easily. They should be made of the same material as the racks themselves which seem far more durable."
Pros: Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointing Dishwasher

PostedDecember 8, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"This top-end dishwasher has an attractive high-end stainless door and is quiet.
Dishes are not cleaned well, especially upper rack items such as glassware. There is no manually cleanable food-or-other particle trap in the bottom of the tub which may contribute to this condition.
Our upper rack adjusters broke apart, with a piece lodging in the pump impeller. An authorized repair centre fixed these problems.
Our Printed Circuit Board failed requiring another call to an authorized repair centre.
"
Pros: attractive styling, quiet operation
Cons: Poor quality, poor cleaning ability, breakdowns

DO NOT purchase this dishwasher!!

PostedOctober 3, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"As many other people have stated, this dishwasher performs incredibly poorly, especially considering its price. We have owned other dishwashers that were much cheaper that performed far better. Even when the dishes, etc are rinsed before going into the dishwasher, when the cycle is complete, the glasses come out with food particles dried on them (probably went in cleaner than they come out) and other items come out dirty as well. Lately, we have been using Cascade gel pack soap and it DEFINITELY does not work - either the soap dispenser is not opening or something is not working properly because when the cycle is over and you open the door, the soap puck is stuck to the door undisolved. I am now always washing dishes on the "heavy"cycle because that is the only hope of most of them coming out remotely clean. THIS IS THE WORST DISHWASHER EVER!!!!!! I totally regret having bought Samsung appliances for my new house."
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, does not wash dishes properly

Not worth even half of the price

PostedSeptember 11, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"We've had this for a year and have been really disappointed. It leaves food particles all over the dishes, especially the glasses. We have to run EVERYTHING under water and pre-clean before loading, and it still does a poor job. The "features" are all superficial.
Also...the drain is now somehow clogged, and I took the base apart to fix it. I couldn't believe the amount of junk UNDER the filter, and it still doesn't run properly.
A very poor design. Not worth the money.

WARNING: Never buy this dishwasher!!!

PostedSeptember 11, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I bought this dishwasher 2 months ago for my new home. The reason why I bought this one is that I read reviews saying that it was super fast and super silent; my old one was very noisy and took about 2 hours to wash a load but did an excellent job! So I decided to get this one; BIG MISTAKE. Yes, it is super silent and super fast but it is also give results that are super dirty!! I have never seen a dishwasher that after washing dirty dishes, gives them back in an even worse condition that they were put in!! So many dirty dishes and glasses! In my house, we just have plates, glasses and coffee mugs. What would you set the cycle as? Normal right? Nope! Only cleans while in Heavy and these are NORMAL dishes, they are RINSED and THEN put in! I cannot believe how bad this dishwasher is in practical use. Sure the features sound great but it's not worth it. Get a normal dishwasher and run it during the night if it's noisy, but at least you'll get clean dishes in the morning! NOT RECOMMENDED! DO NOT BUY! I thought Samsung would at least fix these issues before selling this product... Never buy this one or you'll regret it!"
Pros: beautiful design, silent
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, cycles do not work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedAugust 29, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"This dishwasher is such a disappointment. Good points are; it looks great and it's so quiet I hardly know it's running. Unfortunately my dishes rarely come out clean. The only cycle that has a hope of working is "Heavy" and even then the results are often poor. I am a big fan of Samsung, I own several of their electronic products and love them all. However, this dishwasher is the worst one I have ever owned and I will steer clear of their dishwashers in the future."

PostedJuly 19, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"This dishwasher purchase was a huge mistake. It does not clean unless it is on heavy cycle and storm wash all the time. It often does not clean after a full cycle, will have to clean half of the load of dishes again.
The glasses come out wet even when sanitized setting used. This dishwasher needs a design overhaul.
I took a chance on Samsung dishwashers and failed.

Doesn't Clean Well, Plastic Pieces Fall Off

PostedJune 20, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I have had this dishwasher for over a year and have had only problems. After the first two weeks my machine had to be replaced because the control panel didn't work - something about the electronics so samsung replaced it, but they did ask me if i wanted a refund instead. Well, I should have taken their refund offer. This machine does not clean well, it leaves food particles and other white specs in the cups and on the plates. I run my hot water at the kitchen sink before i run the machine to ensure it gets the hottest water possible. i have tried using gel, powder - loose and the pucks and to no avail. had a repair person come to fix my machine a month ago. The machine wasn't washing at all - no water, nothing! Had to take apart the inside motor to remove a piece of plastic that came off the machine from the upper rack. Went to inspect the other plastic pieces and two more came off with ease. That saved me a couple of hundred bucks!! Overpriced machine, but i have to say it is quiet and nice looking."

Doesn't clean or dry the dishes very well

PostedMay 29, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I bought two of these dishwashers. Both seem to have the exact same issues. Dishes come out dirty. Dishwasher accidently gets turned on without any dishes in it because of where the controls are at the top of the door. The Clean dishes light does not stay on for more than 15 minutes after the dishes are done. the clips that hold the adjustable racks have all broken off, so now i can't put bowls on the top rack. The wheels keep falling off of the bottom pull out. The door for the soap dispenser does not open to let the soap out, so dishes are not clean. The drying cycle is not very good. still lots of water on dishes when done.
It looks pretty and is quiet, but the quality is very poor. I bought this dishwasher based on ratings, but obviously it wasn't tested more than a couple times. I've had most these issues since I first used it. The clips and the wheels only lasted 2 months. My dishwasher is only 5 month old."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, doesn't do everything it was claimed to do, fragile parts

Doesn't clean dishes

PostedApril 16, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"...but it does manage to spread any dirt from the dirty dishes onto all the other dishes that were only slightly dirty. Results all water glasses now get coated with sand size residue. The dishwasher also has a nice drying feature which helps to bake this residue onto the glasses. That means that you will have to use your pot scrubber to hand wash your dishes after they come out of the dishwasher. It is quiet though....."
