How this product scores for different use cases

Quiet Home
95/100

45 dB operation sits in the good-tier noise threshold and lets you run the machine at night or during conversation. It does not reach the 42 dB excellent tier.

Family Household
83/100

14 place settings handle family-sized loads and the third rack adds utensil space. Missing a sanitize cycle and adjustable racks limits daily flexibility for varied dish types.

Premium Kitchen
83/100

Panel-ready design and 45 dB noise qualify as premium traits. Missing steam cleaning, interior lighting, WiFi, and a sanitize cycle limits premium appeal compared to fully featured alternatives.

Small Kitchen / Apartment
64/100

This is a standard 24-inch built-in model, not a compact or countertop unit. It fits a standard cabinet opening but does not save extra floor space compared to typical built-ins.

Budget Buyer
53/100

At $899, this unit is well above budget territory. It lacks sanitize, delayed start, and interior lighting that competing models near this price often include.

Smart Connected
33/100

No WiFi, no app control, and no smart home integration are present. Push button controls are the only interface.

Our Verdict

This dishwasher runs at 45 dB and holds 14 place settings with a third rack. Those specs handle quiet, daily use well.

The panel-ready front is its clearest advantage. You attach a custom cabinet panel so it disappears into your kitchen cabinetry.

At $899, you pay for low noise and panel-ready flexibility. You do not get sanitize, delayed start, WiFi, or interior lighting that many competitors at this price point include.

If a quiet, hidden-look dishwasher is your goal, this unit delivers. If full-feature convenience matters more, look at models that add sanitize and delay functions.

What We Like

  • Runs at 45 dB, hitting the good-tier noise benchmark for open-concept kitchens
  • Energy Star certified to lower water and electricity costs over time
  • 14 place settings meet the excellent capacity benchmark for full-family loads
  • Third rack provides dedicated space for spatulas and long cooking tools
  • Panel-ready front accepts a custom cabinet panel to blend into your kitchen

What Could Be Better

  • No sanitize cycle, a standard feature on most dishwashers at or above $700
  • No delayed start, which competing panel-ready models at this price typically include
  • No WiFi or app control, absent when smart-connected rivals exist near this price point
  • No interior lighting, common in premium panel-ready dishwashers
  • No heated dry option, a feature most full-size built-in dishwashers above $600 offer
