What customers like about Electrolux ESS47420SX

  • A 30 min quick wash gets a light load done fast.
  • 13 place settings handle a large family's dishes in one go.
  • Washing and drying both earn an A rating.
  • At 44 dB it is easy to live with in an open kitchen.
  • The door opens on its own at the end of a cycle.
  • A load sensor adjusts the wash to what is inside.

What customers don't like about Electrolux ESS47420SX

  • At 46 kg it is heavy to move for cleaning or a kitchen change.
  • There is no intensive wash program.
  • There is no half load option for small loads.
  • Energy efficiency class C is weaker than an A rating.
  • There is no hygiene program.

Verdict

For a household that needs dishes done fast, the Electrolux ESS47420SX is built around a 30 min quick wash and an inverter motor. It fits 13 place settings, and both washing and drying earn an A rating. It runs at 44 dB, which is easy to live with in an open kitchen. The inverter motor and load sensor keep the wash in line with the load. The door opens on its own at the end of a cycle, and there are 8 wash programs to choose from. The trade-off is weight, at 46 kg, so moving it takes planning. There is no intensive program or half load option, and the energy class is C. It suits a busy family that puts speed first and does not mind the weight.
