So I picked this up for $338 on clearance at Lowe’s today as a special order return. Still in packaging and never opened. Normal price at Lowe’s is $1,049 and the cheapest I could find it online was $899. I’m wondering if I should swap out my Kitchenaid KDFE104DSS2 which has never been a great performer and often leaves residue and wet dishes. Just looking for any insight on these Samsung DW’s as I’ve never owned one before. I assume I can only do better than the Kitchenaid I currently have.

Why do I have the feeling you're going to HATE this dishwasher? |

Is there something terrible about the dishwasher that I should know about? I understand that I’m probably not going to get the performance that I would get out of one of my old power clean machines as the new machines are designed for energy efficiency which unfortunately generally decreases cleaning results a bit or at least increases wash times by quite a bit (which I can live with..) But if there is a reason that I will hate it I would love to know. Thanks for your help.

The testing organization we love to hate tested this model.
Washing: Excellent Drying: Good (which in CR-speak means so-so) Noise: Very Good Reliability: Fair Let us know what you think after you’ve done a few loads in it. Samsung appliances tend to be well-styled and loaded with nice features, but are prone to needing more repairs than brands like LG. You certainly got it for a good price! |

Well for the price you can’t go wrong. I always enjoy trying something new, If you don’t like to you can flip it and get something else. Hopefully you’ll do pics and a full write it when you get it. |

From the description it does look like it’s a wash arm model and not one of the silly water wall models. I probably would have passed on that. |
