Third-party reviews

What customers like about Sharp SDY6768SMS

  • 16 place settings cover a big family meal or a party.
  • Pause option lets you add a forgotten plate mid-cycle.
  • Interior light makes it easy to see what is inside.
  • Cutlery drawer keeps small items sorted.
  • Washing and drying both reach class A.
  • Automatic door opening lets the dishes dry faster.

What customers don't like about Sharp SDY6768SMS

  • Energy class E means higher power use per load.
  • 44 dB noise is noticeable at night.
  • No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so there is no control from a phone.
  • No quiet wash mode for evening runs.
  • No load sensor, so the cycle does not adjust to how full the racks are.

Verdict

Plates for a crowd are no problem for the Sharp SDY6768SMS, which holds 16 place settings and suits a large household or one that hosts often. A pause option lets you stop a run to slide in a forgotten plate, and the interior light makes it easy to see what is inside. The cutlery drawer keeps small items out of the baskets. Washing and drying both reach class A, so the results are dependable. The trade-offs are energy and the lack of smart options. The energy class is E, so each load takes more power. There is no Wi-Fi, no load sensor and no quiet wash mode. The 44 dB noise is noticeable at night. It suits a family that cooks big meals and wants simple controls and no apps.
