(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What we like about Siemens SR61HX12KE

  • Excellent cleaning performance that removes stubborn dirt effectively using the 70°C intensive cycle.
  • The varioSpeed Plus function significantly saves time by speeding up the washing and drying process up to three times faster.
  • Convenient smart home integration via the Home Connect app allows for easy remote control, monitoring, and cycle customization.
  • The infoLight feature projects a blue dot on the floor so users can clearly see when the machine is operating.
  • Flexible loading choices with an easily adjustable upper basket height to fit taller dishes.
  • Whisper-quiet operation makes it ideal for open-plan kitchens.

What we don't like about Siemens SR61HX12KE

  • Standard Eco cycle takes a long time to complete a single run.
  • The narrow 45 cm width limits the total capacity to 10 place settings, making it less suitable for larger households.
  • App-reliance for deep customization can feel unnecessary or unusual for some users who prefer traditional on-device buttons.

Verdict

The Siemens SR61HX12KE iQ100 is a 45 cm slimline, fully integrated dishwasher offering a 9-place setting capacity, structured with a height-adjustable upper basket, an iQdrive inverter motor, and an AquaStop anti-flood safety system. Operating at a moderate 46 dB noise level, it consumes 8.5 liters of water per cycle and carries an energy efficiency rating of Class E, with an energy expenditure of 70 kWh per 100 cycles. Main advantages include Home Connect Wi-Fi smart control, a time-saving VarioSpeed Plus option, and an infoLight floor projection system to indicate active cycles. However, its lower Class E energy rating, compact slimline width that limits large cookware loads, and the lack of a premium cutlery drawer (using a standard cutlery basket instead) serve as its notable drawbacks.
