I had never considered a Smeg product before and I'll be honest I originally purchased this product because of its looks. I have had it 6 months now and although I cant comment on the life span what I can say is I really like it.

It cleans well, the water gets really hot, the drying stage makes everything sparkle, there are heaps of settings to choose from and it looks good with my black granite bench top.

What I really like though is the small tray at the top of the machine where you can individually place your cutlery, leaving heaps more...Read more

I've owned a few dishwashers before - this is by far the worst.

Firstly, it's a very complicated machine to use. It's not a "one touch - wash" machine. It was the first time I had to consult the manual.

Features that I love:
Are firstly the rotating spray arms which have an extra mini rotating spray arm at the end of the arm which means that the water sprays everywhere and doesn’t miss a corner of the dishwasher.
Secondly:

We seniors were dredding having to purchase a new replacement dishwasher, go out shopping & making the right choice. We had a our choice between to two top well known names. We really liked all the features of the SMEG DWA 6431, hubby liked the sealed controls unit to protect the electronics against any tiny pest getting in and damaging the works and I like the feel of the door catch, the dish racks & cutlery tray and thought the BLACK model was most suitable to my older kitchen of oak timber/ black grantie tops. Then I looked at Product Revi...Read more
