Dear reader. If you are looking for a honest review - look no further. This washer after it is done washing keeps itself humid on the inside. It never fully dries, even after a few days of leaving it to dry without operation. The photos attached to this review were taken 2 days after it wash. AS YOU CAN SEE, the wood and dishes finished drying but the inside of the washer did not. This creates an excellent enviorment for mold, spores, and fungi to thrive. Cold, dark, and humid enviorments. Not only will this become a health hazard later down the line, but I have seen an influx in problems with other Samsung appliances which I have purchased recently. I do not recommend this product. And I will steer away from purchasing from Home Depot as well since they do NOT honor they're warranty.

    Dishwasher has been leaking under my tile floor
    Dishwasher leaks and has been deemed unrepairable, but neither Home Depot or Samsung will do anything about it and just give me the run around. Single mom who worked 2 jobs to save for new appliances, this is very disappointing. I will never buy another Samsung product or big purchase at Home Depot again!

      Must have
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for our first home. At first we weren't sure if we would use it but wanted to fill the empty space in the cabinets. The dish washers in our apartments never worked right. Left things dirty still. This thing works great! Use it just about every night. Gets things really clean even on the quick cycle. Highly recommend

            Satisfied Owner
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first new dishwasher in 15 years. Like the fingerprint-resistant finish. Cleans and dries well as long as you use a JetDry type addition to the wash as the service technician recommended. It is fairly quiet during the wash cycle and does make a slight buzzing sound during the dry cycle. I like the convenience of the control panel on top of the door. As with all dishwashers, the cleaning time takes quite a while, even the 60-minute quick wash/dry setting. It does save on water use though, compared to washing dishes by hand all the time. I do find the color of the silverware section's small divided spaces for silverware hard to see well if you do not have bright lighting in your kitchen. Overall, very happy with my decision on this dishwasher.

              Worst dishwasher, started leaking after a year.
              Bought this as a package deal from Samsung for all the appliances. The dishwasher failed after a year and started leaking all over. Suggestion to others don’t buy this dishwasher. Check the pictures on how I am using it currently until I buy a new one.

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband got me all new appliances for our anniversary. We definitely needed a dishwasher,ours was way to old. So we ordered everything in a bundle. They came in and installed it and it was super quick and easy. The guys showed me how to use it and were very helpful. First time I used it,wow! I didnt rinse any dishes just put them in there and when the cycle was done.omg the dishes came out spotless. I can fit alot of dishes in there,so the size is perfect. The style is so nice and I'm definitely happy with out purchase. It's easy to keep clean and the buttons are easy to read.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Dishwasher 4 months ago and I am very happy with it so far.It dries the dishes great,when using the Jet Dry liquid.It might not have all the bells and whistles like some more expensive models or brands,but sometimes that could be a good thing.Less things to possibly go wrong,and more user friendly.

                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The style of this washer is sleek, modern and I love how the buttons are hidden on the top. The rack arrangement was a bit confusing so I had to check out the instructions but it really gets every dish and bowl clean. I also recommend a good stainless cleaner to keep your washer looking brand new. Best investment yet!

                                      error code within 2 years
                                      It has been just shy of 2 years since I bought this, and it was GREAT....when it worked. The "normal" light started blinking, which indicates there's a leak. No water is coming out of the dishwasher, until I took the thing out and tilted it. Water had gathered in the bottom pan, and causing the sensor to stop the dishwasher from working. Cannot find a leak anywhere. Wiped up the water and put it back in. I think it worked for 1 cycle, then started doing the same thing. This time it lasted about 3 weeks. 3rd time, and didn't even last a cycle. Contacted Samsung, and since I'm 1 yr out of warranty, they made an exception to cover parts. The labor alone will cost about $288, before diagnosing...so may cost even more after the diagnostics. Who knows how long that fix will last. Might as well buy a new dishwasher. I buy everything Samsung, so this was a big disappointment. Will probably not buy another Samsung dishwasher.

                                        Top rack is useless
                                        The bottom rack does an OK job but the top rack its completely hit or miss. I've tried many different soaps, under-loading the dish washer, organizing the top rack every possible way, etc. Nothing works, I usually have to re-wash 50% of the dishes on the top rack every time. My assumption is the washer just doesn't use enough water, it keeps rinsing with filthy water and then dries the dishes with the sediment all over them so they have to be scrubbed. I wish there was an extra rinse function. Maddening, my old, cheap dishwasher at my previous home did a significantly better job and I didn't have to think about it. This one works poorly even when I try my best to load it perfectly and never fill it. Very frustrating. I will say though, the dish washer is very quiet and I do love the door opening dryer function. That's all I have to say that's positive.

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had other brands of dish washers but this has to be the best one so far. My dishes come out much more cleaner than with the previous one. Maybe because it was about to give out, IDK. The Samsung one is spacious and hardly makes a noise. In person it looks so beautifully shiny and elegant. Pictures do not do it justice from my camera phone. I would definately recommend Samsung to anyone. Have used their various items for years.

It isn’t the quietest dishwasher but it definitely deliverers on the cleanliness of my dishes. I no longer have to soak dishes for hours and then place them in the dishwasher to make sure they come out looking spotless. Now I just throw them all in and press start and I don’t have to worry about a thing! Ever household needs a dishwasher that’s no doubt and this brand has yet to let me down and as I get to add another Samsung appliance to my house I’m adding another 5 star review because this brand is just that good.

I was unsure if I would like the buttons being on the top, but with my toddlers I love love love it! I love that I can adjust the top rack to be higher or lower to accommodate my larger pots. With two toddlers I really put this dishwasher to the tests with stuck on food and they have come out sparking clean. It recommended a drying liquid on the door and that has really been helpful because I don't have to hand dry the dishes! I love this dishwasher and highly recommended it!

                                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] THIS DEVICE IS TRULY THE NEW EDGE OF HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE TECHNOLGY AND IT IS BEYOND ANY COMPETITOR THAT IS OUT THERE BECAUSE OF ITS SLEEK LOOK AND THE ABILITY TO CLEAN EFFICEIENTLY AND MAKE ALL THE RIGHT MOVES WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING YOUR DISHES CLEAN AND HOW QUIET IT IS THAT IT A CUT ABOVE ANYTHING THAT IS OUT THERE ON THE MARKET. IT IS TRULY A GIANT AMONG OTHER PRODUCTS THAT CLAIM TO TRY TO COMPETE WITH THE QUALITY BRAND. The model has quiet mode that is unequal to other brands a nd cleans with accuracy and gets the job without question.The motion of the jets cleaning from side and getting your dishes clean and leaving no mildew or grit and how effortless it to have this to do what is needed for your ground in dirt or burned pans become a thing of the past

                                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, let's be real.... This model is not the biggest baddest kid on the block, but for the price it's pretty dang SOLID. I could have dropped triple the price for a dishwasher that syncs to the internet or streams Netflix but is that going to make my dishes any cleaner?. No... With this model we have a very clean looking dishwasher that is not too loud and scrubs the heck out of my dishes.. I threw in a test load that included some pretty dirty little dishes along with our wine glasses from the night and things turned out sharp and fresh.. We didn't even use the JetDry cleaner thingy and still had clean wine glasses (which to me is a big deal).. Must have been the super turbo 9000 washing modules..There's some kind of excess food trap thing in the bottom that the instructions showed was easy to clean--(so I've got that going for me-HA!)..anyway, great product for the cost. If you want to spend triple the amount, you can go buy R2D2 but this model works just fine..

                                                        Very cheap internals, melting pieces already and it has been installed for less than 3 months. Need a return and upgrade!

                                                          I like this dishwasher a lot. It is very quiet and the express wash handles cleaning most loads. If desired there are much longer cycles to handle pots and pans, etc. I also like the delay option so I can set it to run while we are sleeping. I have had it about a month and all is working well.
