Well, it is quiet...

We were in a pinch and needed to replace our last dishwasher immediately. We wash 2-4 full loads per day so replacement had to be done quickly. We looked at several and decided on this one, mostly because I wanted the hidden heating element and this does have that.
After using this thing many times per day, over several months, I have to say I regret buying it. It doesn't get the dishes clean, no matter how light it's loaded, nor what products are used. (We use Cascade rinse aid and detergent "pods" - usually the Platinum ones). If you don't completely pre-wash the dishes, they come out with food residue still on them. For a product that advertises it has "Hard Food Disposer – Washes Away Heavy Foods With Ease, No Need to Pre-Rinse", I have to say that's not been true with our unit. Granted, we have a well, so not the best water pressure from the tap, however the previous two dishwashers never had this problem so I find it hard to believe it's a water pressure issue.
Most of our "food residue" is from chopped fruits and vegetables, breads, or baked grain casseroles (similar to a rice pilaf)- not anything baked or caked on. Just food that was served in a bowl and the bowls are shaken out over the trash can before we wash them off by hand then load into this dishwasher. We aren't washing many pots and pans. It's mostly just the small plastic bowls we use to feed the over 100 birds we care for every day. I doubt the "hard food disposer" in this unit has ever actually seen any "hard food".
The lack of options is also a big drawback. No "Pre-Rinse", "Rinse and hold" or "Rinse" option like other dishwashers I have owned. The cycles are LONG. The "Quick" cycle takes about an hour. And speaking of cycles - the unit DOES NOT restart when you close the door. If you open the door to add a dish after it has been started, you have to manually re-start the cycle by pushing the "Start" button. If you happen to forget to re-hit that button, (and the only clue is the "wash-rinse-dry-end" lights are off) then your dirty dishes will still be there to greet you, smelling like a high school gym locker room, when you open the door expecting to see sparkling, clean dishes. And if you accidently hit the POWER instead of start? It drains all the water out from the current cycle, then starts from the beginning.
Do you want to raise or lower the top rack to accommodate tall or bulky dishes? Do it before loading the rack, as you have to pull the entire rack out and insert it between a different set of rollers to change position.
The rack design doesn't hold near as many dishes as our previous two dishwashers. They seem like they were just not very well designed. I do like the fact that the silverware basket is actually 2 small ones. Makes it easier to store when not in use.
The unit is very quiet. There is that.
Pros: quiet
Cons: Poor quality, doesn't clean well, no "rinse" only option, adjusting rack height involves removing it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Part of my lemon package

I used this dishwasher roughly 10 times since I purchased it in December 2017, and each time, it takes about 2 hours to use on quick cycle and all of the dishes are wet when you use the dry function. I thought I was putting in too many dishes so I only put in 5 items and again, it took 2 hours to finish and the heat function did not dry the dishes. In the process of calling a Samsung service tech. I purchased a 4 piece set and so far I had to call for service on the refrigerator, range and dishwasher. I'm starting to think that I was sold refurbished appliances.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far we like it. Very new at this point so need more time to evaluate. Wife liked the stainless steel interior vs plastic in other brands. Very easy to use. Only concern that was missing kick plate in packing materials and still waiting for replacement.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product is inferior to our older diswasher that it replaced.

Does a very poor job of drying dishes. Very long completion cycle. Sanitizer function must be used to dry dishes which adds significant time to cleaning cycle.
Pros: Inexpensive, looks nice in stainless steel
Cons: poor performance, long drying cycle
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Needs a Handle
on November 21, 2015
Posted by: KingOfDP
Although this Dishwasher works just fine, it does need a handle, or that the least, a natural locking mechanism instead of merely pulling harder than normal to open. It makes you think you will break the door just before it opens.
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations

Super Quiet

This dishwasher replaced a 15-year old machine that was on its last leg. The Samsung is extremely quiet (hard to tell it's on) and does an excellent job. We are delighted with it.
