Verdict

The Siemens SR61HX22KE is a 45 cm narrow, fully integrated built-in dishwasher from the iQ100 line that features a 10 place-setting capacity, operates at a quiet 44 dB noise level, and consumes 8.9 liters of water and 0.76 kWh of energy per Eco cycle. Its main advantages include smart Home Connect app integration for remote diagnostics and controls, a time-saving varioSpeed Plus option that speeds up wash cycles by up to three times, an aquaStop leak prevention system, and an infoLight floor projector to monitor operational status. However, its downsides include a mediocre energy efficiency rating of Class E on the modern A-to-G scale, the absence of a dedicated third cutlery drawer or rackMatic height adjustment for the upper basket, and an eco-cycle duration that takes a relatively long 3 hours and 40 minutes.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Siemens SR61HX22KE?

  • Whisper-quiet operation (rated at 44 dB) which makes it perfect for open-plan kitchens.
  • The infoLight floor indicator is highly useful to check if the fully integrated machine is still running.
  • Seamless remote operation and program monitoring via the Home Connect smartphone app.
  • Efficient cleaning results with quick cycle alternatives like the varioSpeed Plus option.
  • Compact 45 cm width design makes it an excellent space-saving solution for smaller kitchens while still offering a 10 place-setting capacity.

What customers dislike about Siemens SR61HX22KE?

  • Carries a lower energy efficiency rating (Class E under modern European standards).
  • Standard Eco cycles take a relatively long time to complete (approx. 3 hours and 40 minutes).
  • Lacks a dedicated third-level cutlery drawer (varioDrawer), relying on a traditional cutlery basket instead.
  • The upper basket is not equipped with the 'rackMatic' height-adjustment system, reducing loading versatility for taller items.
