Smeg DWAU6214X

We get Smeg dishwasher as part of our upgrade option for a newly built house. The machine takes a long time to wash, tablets often not dissolve or dishes are sometimes left with disolved powder stuck after a full 65 degree wash. Worst part is the door clip does not work properly, thus machine refuses to run although the machine is switched on. I had to open and close the door multiple times every night to get the clip to work so the machine will run. Tonight the door clip is broken after a year of playing up...I thought Smeg is more premium than other brands but I am disappointed it did not last...

This dishwasher came as part of the kitchen appliance package in our brand new Clarendon house. We’ve been in the house for less than 2 weeks and the dishwasher only worked properly for the first day or two. House full of family for Christmas, and we can’t even use the dishwasher to wash the dishes. Won’t run any cycle at all. Total disappointment.

Hi has anyone had an issue with the power light on the smeg dishwasher is on but won't light up any of the cycles ? Only had it since November last year as we built with Clarendon.

Smeg dishwasher was included in Metricon package. Overall does a very good clean. I agree that i needs a short 45 minute wash. The way i get around this is start on ECO mode, for 28 minutes (using timer), then pause, and switch to soak setting (used as a rinse). Works well, saves power and a great clean.

Just moved into our new Metricon house and started using the dishwasher. Very disappointed with this “luxury” upgrade Smeg machine. 2hrs for the shortest setting is a joke as others have posted. The other extremely disappointing discovery was that this model does not come with a cutlery drawer. The cutlery basket is absolutely useless for a family with small spoons etc falling inside the basket. Feel like we have no recourse as it was part of a new build house rather than something we could return to a store.

Just moved back into our newly renovated home. We chose all Smeg appliances as they have good reviews, however, we are very dissatisfied with this dishwasher. As previous comments, it doesn’t dry dishes. There is still water left in the spray arms so when pulling top rack out bottom dishes get fully wet again. Quickest setting is too long. In terms of noise, it is a very quiet one. Having said that my old 5 year old Bosch used to leave everything dried. Plastic cups may have some drops but not as wet as in this dishwasher. Quite disappointing considering its cost.

So disappointing. I brought this machine on a recommendation of the SMEG brand - should not have listened. Detergent tablet does not dissolve. Does not dry off anything that is in it cycle finishes on dashboard and you open it and - dripping wet. Half the plates and utensils still got muck on them. I think it is a lemon. Yes we did read and follow all instructions in booklet. Brand new machine- waste of money! Was excited about a SMEG won’t go near this brand again:(

We get it from Clarendon home, from begaining not happy, echo setting takes which is the lowest takes about 2 hrs, other normal echo setting not washing at all which is very annoying .. Lot of westage of water and electricity and not drying well
Last wk door was not closing, SMEG technician came fixed the door, my concern about the manufacturing quality too.
Contacted with company, they told we have upgrade if you like short cycle one, we have to pay extra money
This is a vey disappointing that this mechine has no short cycle .
We choose top company SMEG but looks like westage of money,

Moved into our brand new Clarendon Homes build with SMEG appliances 10 days ago and the dishwasher has not worked properly once! We have tried every cycle, every trouble shoot, yes it has rinse aid but dishes do not dry, the liquid compartment never opens, the water never heats it's always cold when it's finished and we have repeated flashing lights which according to the booklet is an error with the machine and heating. Emailed them for a service technician and no response. Rung them for help but no helpline in the weekends. I will be asking for our builder to remove it and replace with Fisher and Paykel.

Just moved into my new sekesui home and just started to use my dishwasher it doesn't work. Called out for service and worked one wash. Was so excited to keep using my dishwasher the next day it's not working again. So disappointed. Have to call again smeg head office to get my money back. Not a happy customer for something I paid brand new that doesn't work.

After using it for 6 months its been Good both on water and energy and I've been very pleased with the results.
I wish I waited for the new models as they had an auto door open at the end of the cycle which makes for better drying.
Also the new ones have a 27 min cycle but all in all I'm happy with it.

This Smeg dishwasher was recommend to us at Harvey Norman but it is going back.
Dishes are not drying even on the longest wash cycle using rinse aid and Quantum finish tablets.
The draws are terrible and the middle draw is useless, cups and mugs do not fit. The draws have no adjustment besides height ( middle draw only ) no racks lay down for pots etc.
Our cheap Haier dishwasher washed as good, dishes dried and the racks make these Smeg ones look pathetic.
Very poor for an expensive machine.
The door would not even lock first up but eventually did for some reason but i bet that is going to be a future problem.
Looking at other reviews it seems like not drying is a common problem . I will admit it washes ok and is quiet.
Not Happy

We were supplied this dishwasher as part of our new Metricon home. It's the only thing we don't like about our new house! It doesn't open and close properly, the buttons/cycles are not intuitive at all and instruction manual is useless. The ECO function goes for more than an hour and the dishes do not dry no matter what. Nothing stands up/fits in the top rack and our standard size dinner plates block the rotating sprayer when on the bottom rack! Can't put wine glasses or large glasses in the top rack or the rack won't close. I'd prefer the budget brand that we had in our previous rental! Have also been disappointed with our 'top of the range' Smeg oven but that's another story....so much for 'luxury' items. No thanks Smeg

It is not as good s our previous dishwasher, I don't like the cutlery basket, and it doesn't dry all the dishes properly, fair enough though it cleans everything each time, from heavy soiled dishes to 2-3 day old cereal bowls from the kids. Even cleans the glass wear, just not drying ..
