Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux ESA42110SW

  • The AirDry technology automatically opens the door by 10 cm at the end of the cycle, allowing natural airflow to dry dishes efficiently.
  • Dual spray arms distribute water evenly, ensuring a thorough clean that reaches every corner of the tub.
  • Features a very fast and efficient 30-minute quick wash program for lightly soiled dishes.
  • Equipped with an AutoSense program that automatically optimizes time, temperature, and water usage based on soil level.
  • The inverter motor ensures quiet operation and reliable long-term performance.
  • Includes a helpful 1-to-24-hour delayed start function to schedule washes around daily routines.

What we don't like about Electrolux ESA42110SW

  • Has a lower energy efficiency rating (Class F), which may result in higher electricity consumption over time.
  • With a 45 cm width and 9 place settings capacity, it is too compact for larger families or bulky cookware.
  • Lacks a third cutlery tray (MaxiFlex) and internal lighting, features commonly found on higher-tier models.
  • The interior layout is basic, featuring a fixed upper basket and limited folding tines compared to more versatile models.

Verdict

The Electrolux ESA42110SW is a 45 cm slimline, freestanding dishwasher designed for smaller spaces, offering a 9 place setting capacity and a 47 dB noise level. It features 8 washing programs, 4 temperature settings, a stainless steel tub, an adjustable upper basket, and an anti-flood system. A standout advantage is its AirDry technology, which automatically opens the door by 10 cm at the end of a cycle to maximize drying efficiency, along with a convenient 30-minute quick wash program and a dual upper spray arm for comprehensive water coverage. However, it holds a relatively low F-class energy efficiency rating, consumes 9.9 liters of water per standard cycle, and lacks a third cutlery tray or a premium QuickSelect control system.
