Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux ESS68600SX

  • Excellent energy efficiency with Class A rating
  • Very quiet operation at only 44 dB
  • AirDry technology effectively dries dishes by automatically opening the door
  • Spacious 14 place setting capacity with a customizable MaxiFlex cutlery drawer
  • SatelliteClean spray arm provides thorough washing coverage
  • QuickLift adjustable upper basket makes it easy to load larger items
  • Discreet floor light indicator instead of annoying end-of-cycle beeps

What we don't like about Electrolux ESS68600SX

  • No possibility for elevated/high-level installation
  • Slightly wider than some standard models at 59.8 cm
  • Long cycle duration for the energy-saving ECO program (over 5 hours)
  • Automatic door opening mechanism can occasionally surprise guests or visitors
  • Interior layout may feel slightly tighter for oversized cookware compared to some competitors

Verdict

The Electrolux ESS68600SX is a 60 cm freestanding dishwasher from the Serie 700 GlassCare line, featuring a 14-place setting capacity, an anti-fingerprint stainless steel finish, and an exceptionally efficient energy class A rating with an eco-cycle consumption of 10.9 liters of water and 0.542 kWh per load. Key performance highlights include the SatelliteClean double-rotation spray arm for comprehensive water coverage, a deep MaxiFlex cutlery drawer with customizable dividers, a height-adjustable QuickLift upper basket, and AirDry technology that automatically cracks the door open by 10 cm to maximize drying efficiency. Operating quietly at 44 dB with diverse cycle options like a Quick 30-minute wash and a 69°C ExtraHygiene sanitization phase, its primary drawback is a notably prolonged eco-program duration of 5 hours and 10 minutes, alongside the inherent ergonomic requirement of manually loading individual items into a top cutlery tray rather than a traditional lower basket.
