What we like about Balay 3VS572IP

  • Excellent cleaning results, leaving dishes highly polished and spotless
  • Extremely quiet operational noise level at 48 dB due to the ExtraSilencio motor
  • Convenient dedicated third rack for cutlery and utensils
  • Highly flexible interior layout with a height-adjustable RackMatic upper basket
  • Useful 'Pause+Load' function allows adding forgotten dishes during a cycle
  • Great value for money relative to its performance and built-in features

What we don't like about Balay 3VS572IP

  • Some cycles and cleaning programs can feel overly long
  • Lower basket feels slightly smaller or less spacious than expected for large pots and pans
  • Overall plastic component quality and product build can feel a bit less robust compared to older appliances
  • Drying performance on plastic dishware can occasionally be inconsistent

Verdict

The Balay 3VS572IP is a 60 cm freestanding dishwasher featuring an anti-fingerprint stainless steel finish, a 13-place setting capacity, a Vario third-rack cutlery drawer, and an adjustable RackMatic upper basket system. Driven by an EcoSilence motor with a 48 dB noise level, it includes five wash programs (such as an automatic sensor cycle and a 1-hour fast cycle) along with useful functionalities like a half-load option and a pause+load button to add forgotten items mid-cycle. Key advantages include low water consumption at 9.5 liters per cycle, flexible interior loading layouts, and a dedicated 10-year warranty on the stainless steel tub. However, its energy efficiency is limited to a lower Class E rating on the A-to-G scale, and its heat exchanger drying system can occasionally leave plastic items slightly damp after a cycle.
