What we like about Siemens SN45ES57CE iQ500

  • Excellent cleaning performance that leaves dishes spotlessly clean
  • Highly flexible loading options due to the three-level height-adjustable rackMatic upper basket and flex baskets
  • Very quiet operation during wash cycles, making it suitable for open-plan kitchens
  • Convenient smart controls and remote monitoring via the Home Connect app
  • Time-saving varioSpeed Plus feature that significantly shortens program run times
  • Efficient drying results enhanced by the autoOpen dry automatic door-opening feature

What we don't like about Siemens SN45ES57CE iQ500

  • Plastic items and tupperware can sometimes remain damp or wet after standard drying cycles
  • The stainless steel exterior finish marks easily and shows prominent fingerprints
  • Standard eco-cycles can take a relatively long time to complete
  • Occasional food residue may remain on heavily soiled dishes if the correct intensive cycle isn't selected

Verdict

The Siemens SN45ES57CE iQ500 is a 60 cm under-mount dishwasher featuring a 14-place setting capacity, 8 wash programs (including Eco 50°C and Intensive 70°C), and an efficient iQdrive motor operating at a quiet 42 dB. Key pros include smart remote control via the Home Connect app, time-saving cleaning with varioSpeed Plus, a flexible flexComfort basket layout with a 3-stage rackMatic adjustable upper rack, automated autoOpen dry functionality, and low resource usage of 9.5 liters of water and 85 kWh of energy per 100 eco cycles. On the downside, its updated Class D energy efficiency rating (on the modern A to G scale) is mid-tier compared to top-tier eco models, and the lack of an integrated front cabinet door panel means it may not appeal to those looking for a fully concealed kitchen aesthetic.
