How this product scores for different use cases
Fits 15 place settings and includes an EasyFlex third rack that adds 35% more utensil space. The SmartWash sensor and Sani Rinse handle heavy daily loads well.
Operates at 45 dB, which falls in the good range but does not reach the ultra-quiet threshold of 42 dB or below. It includes a QuietWash option for lower-noise cycles.
Missing WiFi, interior lighting, and steam cleaning that premium-tier dishwashers commonly include. At 45 dB it falls short of the ultra-quiet levels expected in luxury kitchens.
At $699.99 this unit sits above the budget tier. It delivers solid features but costs nearly $300 more than the typical budget ceiling of $400.
This is a standard 24-inch built-in model at 23.55 inches wide and 33.88 inches tall. It is not a countertop or compact unit and requires full cabinet installation.
No WiFi connectivity and no Alexa or Google integration. You get touch controls and delayed start but no app control or remote monitoring.
Our Verdict
This dishwasher holds 15 place settings with a removable third rack. That gives you 35% more room for utensils. It works well for families who run full loads daily.
It runs at 45 dB, which is quiet enough for most kitchens. The QuietWash option lowers noise further. You can run it at night without it being disruptive.
The SmartWash sensor reads soil levels and adjusts water pressure and time. You do not have to pick a cycle for every load. The Sani Rinse option adds high-heat cleaning when you need it.
At $699.99 you get Energy Star, a stainless steel tub, and TurboDry. But you do not get WiFi, steam cleaning, or interior lighting. Competitors at this price often include at least one of those features.
What We Like
- Fits 15 place settings, above the 14-setting category average for built-in dishwashers.
- EasyFlex third rack adds 35% more loading space for utensils and large tools.
- Runs at 45 dB, placing it in the good noise tier and well below the 50 dB category average.
- Energy Star certified, meaning it meets federal efficiency standards for water and electricity use.
- TurboDry uses both a fan and a heating element, so plastics come out dry without hand-drying.
What Could Be Better
- No WiFi connectivity, so you cannot start or monitor cycles from an app or phone.
- No interior lighting, making it harder to check load placement in dim kitchens.
- No child lock listed, a feature many competitors at this price tier include.
- No steam cleaning, which brands like Bosch and LG offer at the $700 price range.
- No rinse aid dispenser confirmed in specs, a standard feature on most competing built-in models.
