Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung DW70H73YCFRU1

  • Operates quietly at a 44 dB noise level
  • Spacious 14 place setting capacity
  • AutoOpen/AutoRelease door naturally improves drying performance and reduces steam build-up
  • Flex Load system provides adjustable and flexible interior racking layout
  • SmartThings Wi-Fi connectivity allows for easy remote control and monitoring
  • Features a fast 60-minute Express wash and dry cycle

What we don't like about Samsung DW70H73YCFRU1

  • Top cutlery tray reduces available vertical height in the middle basket
  • Requires keeping the upper basket in its highest position to fit standard-sized dinner plates below, which leaves minimal clearance for mugs and tall glasses on the top shelf
  • General long-term brand reliability concerns regarding premature appliance parts wear compared to some competitors

Verdict

The Samsung DW70H73YCFRU1 is a 60 cm freestanding stainless-steel dishwasher offering a 14 place setting capacity, a Class C energy efficiency rating, and a low operating noise level of 44 dB. Key advantages include a flexible loading layout with a three-position adjustable middle basket (Flex Load), smooth-gliding Soft Railing racks, built-in Wi-Fi compatibility for SmartThings remote control, and an AutoRelease door that automatically opens to accelerate the drying process. However, it requires a relatively long eco-program duration of 3 hours and 40 minutes, consumes 10.5 liters of water per cycle, and lacks advanced internal AI-guided sensor washes or automatic detergent dispensing features found on higher-tier models.
