What we like about Siemens SN43ES04TE

  • High energy efficiency with a Class B rating, keeping electricity costs down
  • Excellent drying results due to the autoOpen dry feature that automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle
  • Time-saving varioSpeed Plus function cleans and dries dishes up to three times faster
  • Convenient remote monitoring and voice control integration via the Home Connect smartphone app
  • Flexible loading space options thanks to the height-adjustable rackMatic top basket and customizable racks
  • Effective sanitization performance through the hygienePlus cycle and intensive 70 degree program
  • Reliable water protection safety mechanism provided by the built-in aquaStop system

What we don't like about Siemens SN43ES04TE

  • The maximum noise level of 44 decibels is considered relatively loud for some open-plan kitchen setups
  • The standard Eco mode cycle takes a long time to fully complete washing and drying
  • Lacks a dedicated gentle or specialized care cycle for delicate glassware and fragile items
  • The initial purchase price can be higher compared to entry-level dishwasher alternatives
  • The physical installation requires very precise leveling and accurate cabinet measurements to fit correctly

Verdict

The Siemens iQ300 SN43ES04TE is a 60 cm built-under, undercounter dishwasher offering a 13 place setting capacity, a quiet 44 dB noise level, and an energy efficiency class B rating with a 9.0-litre water consumption per eco cycle. Key characteristics and pros include its 6 wash programmes (such as Intensive 70 °C and Eco 50 °C), autoOpen dry functionality for eco-friendly door-opening drying, varioSpeed Plus for up to three times faster rinsing, and integrated Home Connect WiFi for remote smartphone and voice control. However, notable cons include its lack of a dedicated cutlery tray, relying instead on a traditional cutlery basket, a long eco programme cycle time of 235 minutes, and a partially Polinox plastic tub base rather than a full stainless steel interior.
