Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux ESM89300SX

  • Large capacity accommodating 15 place settings and features a dedicated MaxiFlex cutlery drawer
  • Quiet operational noise level at only 42 dB
  • Convenient QuickLift adjustable upper basket height mechanism even when fully loaded
  • Efficient natural airflow drying thanks to the AirDry automatic door-opening function
  • Useful Beam-on-Floor light indicator to discreetly display program status
  • Versatile selection of 8 washing programs including Quick wash, Eco, and Auto options
  • ExtraHygiene sanitization program that eliminates bacteria at high temperatures

What we don't like about Electrolux ESM89300SX

  • Energy efficiency is rated at Class D which is lower than some newer eco-friendly competitors
  • Standard Eco program cycle has a long duration of 240 minutes
  • Requires recurring costs for specific rinse aids and specialized detergents to prevent glass spotting
  • Mixed brand reviews point to potential customer service friction or delayed replacement parts if repairs are needed

Verdict

The Electrolux ESM89300SX is a freestanding, full-size (59.6 x 61 x 85 cm) stainless steel dishwasher powered by a quiet inverter motor operating at 42 dB. It features a spacious 15-place-setting capacity with 3 racks including a customizable MaxiFlex cutlery drawer, 8 wash programs, and 4 temperature settings. Main performance highlights include the SatelliteClean double-rotating spray arm for comprehensive water coverage, specialized GlassCare elements (SoftGrips and SoftSpikes) to protect fragile stemware, and an automated AirDry system that opens the door 10 cm post-cycle to improve drying efficiency. However, it holds a relatively low D-class energy efficiency rating, consumes 11 liters of water per eco cycle, and lacks internal lighting or smart app connectivity features.
