Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung DW6500AM

  • Whisper-quiet operation that does not disrupt daily activities
  • Highly energy-efficient operation that lowers utility bills
  • SmartThings integration allows convenient remote monitoring via phone
  • AutoRelease door automatically opens at the end of the cycle to improve drying
  • Flexible interior space with an easily adjustable middle rack
  • Dedicated 3rd rack is excellent for cutlery and small espresso cups

What we don't like about Samsung DW6500AM

  • Middle tray must be set high to avoid the spray arm hitting large plates
  • Setting the middle tray high severely restricts space for tall glasses
  • Spray arm jets can occasionally become blocked with food residue
  • Some users report general reliability issues and part durability concerns
  • Drying efficiency can sometimes be inconsistent on standard cycles

Verdict

The Samsung DW6500AM is a highly efficient 60cm wide dishwasher with a 14 place setting capacity, a Class D energy rating, and a quiet 44 dB noise level. Key characteristics include 7 wash programs, a flexible rack system with an upper cutlery drawer, and an AutoOpen door feature that releases steam for improved drying. Main pros are its low water consumption of 10.5L per cycle, the high-temperature Hygiene Care option that eliminates 99.9% of bacteria, and smart, eco-friendly operation. Notable cons include reliability concerns common to the brand and a lack of custom aesthetic panel choices.
