Are you looking to buy a new dishwasher? Our dishwasher buying guide covers everything you need to know, whether you’re interested in innovative features, energy efficiency or a model that seamlessly fits into your kitchen.
Choosing the Right Samsung Dishwasher
The right Samsung dishwasher is one that will meet your household’s needs and provide you with the needed performance. When choosing a Samsung dishwasher, consider factors such as the cleaning that will be required to remove tough food residues and the different wash cycles to meet various needs. Also, consider the capacity to ensure dishwasher dimensions comfortably fit your family’s living space.
What to look for in a Samsung dishwasher
What do you need to look for in a dishwasher? It’s important to consider several key features that will impact its performance, convenience and fit in your kitchen. Here are some important factors to look for to help you choose a model that meets your needs.
Capacity
Samsung Dishwasher capacity is typically measured in the number of place settings it can hold. Standard models usually accommodate 12-16 place settings, which is sufficient for a typical household. A place setting is the unit used to determine a Samsung dishwasher’s capacity. It refers to the amount of dishes and utensils that can be loaded in the dishwasher for one person’s meal. Examples of place settings include the following:
• One dinner plate
• One dessert plate
• One soup bowl
• One glass
• A set of cutlery (Fork, knife, spoon, teaspoon)
If you often entertain or have a large family, you might want to consider a model with a larger capacity or flexible rack options.
Noise Level
Look for models with noise levels of 40 to 50 decibels (dB) for quiet to moderate operation. Dishwashers with 40 dB or less will provide you with ultra-quiet whisper wash cycles.
Energy Star Certified
Look for Samsung dishwashers with an Energy Star rating, which indicates they meet or exceed federal energy efficiency standards.4
Finish & Colour
Dishwashers come in a variety of finishes and colours, from stainless steel to black, white, and even custom panel-ready designs. Choose a finish that complements your kitchen’s decor. Stainless steel is popular for its sleek appearance and the special Fingerprint Resistant Finish5 that allows for fingerprint marks to be quickly wiped away with a damp cloth. It can reduce the amount of unsightly fingerprints and other marks and smudges.
Does it Fit Your Kitchen?
Before purchasing a Samsung dishwasher, it’s crucial to ensure it will fit seamlessly into your kitchen space. Here’s how to accurately measure:
• Measure the Width:
Measure the width of the space where the dishwasher will be installed. Most standard Samsung dishwashers are 24 inches wide, but it’s important to confirm your available space.6
• Measure the Height:
Measure from the floor to the bottom of the countertop. Samsung dishwashers are typically 34-35 inches6 high, but you may need to adjust this measurement if you have uneven floors or plan to install flooring beneath the dishwasher.
• Measure the Depth:
Measure from the back wall to the front edge of the counter to confirm the Samsung dishwasher will fit in depth. Standard depth is around 24-25 inches, but don’t forget to account for any handles or protrusions on the front of the dishwasher.6,7
• Check Door Clearance:
Ensure there’s enough clearance for the dishwasher door to open fully without hitting cabinets, walls or other obstacles.7
Samsung Dishwasher sizes and types
What to look for in a Samsung dishwasher? It’s important to consider the size and type of Samsung dishwasher that will best fit your kitchen space and lifestyle.
Standard Samsung dishwasher dimensions
The standard Samsung dishwasher size is 24 inches in width, 24-25 inches in depth, and 34-35 inches in height. These dimensions are designed to fit under a typical kitchen counter. However, always measure your available space and check the product’s specifications to ensure a proper fit.6
Samsung Dishwasher capacities
Samsung Dishwasher capacity is typically measured in the number of place settings it can hold. A place setting refers to the dishes and utensils that can be loaded into the dishwasher. It includes a collection of dishes and utensils for one person, such as a dinner plate, dessert plate, soup bowl, glass, and a set of cutlery (fork, knife, spoon, and teaspoon).
Standard Samsung dishwasher dimensions usually accommodate 12-16 place settings, making them suitable for a typical household. If you often entertain or have a large family, consider a dishwasher with a larger capacity or flexible rack options to handle more dishes in a single load.6
Samsung Dishwasher types
When selecting a dishwasher, it’s important to consider the type of washing mechanism that best suits your needs. Samsung offers two main types:
Rotary Dishwashers: These dishwashers use rotating spray arms to distribute water evenly across the dishes. The rotary mechanism is great for cleaning dishes from multiple angles to help remove tough grime.
Linear Dishwashers: These models utilize a linear spray system, where water is directed in a straight line to cover the entire rack. Linear dishwashers are known for their precise and even water distribution.
