Third-party reviews

What customers like about Sharp SDW4523MS

  • The load sensor adjusts water and cycle time to how full the racks are.
  • Drying class A gets the dishes dry at the end of a cycle.
  • A pause option lets you add a forgotten plate mid-cycle.
  • The height adjustable top basket makes room for tall items.
  • The adjustable water softener suits hard water.
  • At 47 dB the machine keeps the kitchen calm.

What customers don't like about Sharp SDW4523MS

  • At 46 kg it is heavy to move and install.
  • 8 place settings is small for a big household.
  • There is no quiet wash program for running at night.
  • There is no self-cleaning filter, so the filter needs rinsing by hand.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, app or voice control.

Verdict

Daily use is easier with the Sharp SDW4523MS, because its load sensor checks how full the racks are. It adjusts water and cycle time to the load, and the drying class is A, so the dishes come out dry. The 1.65 m cable gives some freedom in placing the machine, and the height adjustable top basket makes room for tall items. The adjustable water softener suits hard water, and automatic door opening helps the dishes dry faster. The trade-off is weight: at 46 kg it is hard to move and install. It also holds 8 place settings, which is small for a big household, and it has no quiet wash program. There is no Wi-Fi, app or voice control, so it suits someone who wants a plain machine that stays put.
