How this product scores for different use cases

Family Household
77/100

15 place settings and 8 wash cycles handle large daily loads well. Missing sanitize cycle and adjustable racks reduce reliability for family use.

Premium Kitchen
66/100

304 stainless steel construction and $1,174 price suggest premium positioning, but missing WiFi, sanitize cycle, interior lighting, and steam cleaning fall short of true premium competitors.

Quiet Home
48/100

51 dB is audible in open-concept kitchens. Competing models at this price point run at 44 to 48 dB.

Small Kitchen / Apartment
43/100

This is a standard 24-inch built-in unit, not a compact or countertop model. It requires permanent cabinet installation.

Budget Buyer
37/100

At $1,174.58, this unit is well above budget tier pricing. Many competing models with more features cost under $700.

Smart Connected
25/100

No WiFi connectivity and no compatibility with Alexa or Google Assistant. Auto-sense is the only automated feature.

Our Verdict

This dishwasher holds 15 place settings and runs 8 wash cycles. The 304 stainless steel tub and third rack add real value for daily use.

At $1,174, you expect features like WiFi, a sanitize cycle, and delayed start. This model skips all three. Competing units at this price include them.

51 dB is audible in open kitchens. Most $1,000+ dishwashers run below 48 dB. If noise matters, look elsewhere.

The auto-sense and heated dry modes work well for standard loads. But the missing features make this a tough buy at full price.

What We Like

  • 8 wash cycles including a 50-minute Super Mode for fast cleaning.
  • 15 place settings hit the excellent tier, fitting large family loads.
  • 304-grade stainless steel tub resists stains and odors better than standard steel.
  • Third rack adds dedicated space for utensils and small items.
  • Auto-sense technology caps water use at 3.4 gallons per load.

What Could Be Better

  • No sanitize cycle, a standard feature on most competitors above $700.
  • 51 dB noise level exceeds the 44-48 dB range common in $1,000+ dishwashers.
  • No WiFi or app control, included on most competing models at this price.
  • No delayed start function, offered by most dishwashers priced above $500.
  • No interior lighting or adjustable racks, both common at this price tier.
