Verdict

The Siemens SZ36DX02 varioDrawer is a retrofittable black plastic cutlery tray accessory designed to add a third loading level to compatible 60 cm wide Siemens and Bosch dishwashers equipped with flexComfort baskets. Measuring 70 x 66 x 6.5 cm and weighing approximately 1.3 kg, it features a lowered center section that provides optimized storage space for large cutlery items like soup ladles as well as small espresso cups. Main pros include its durable, high-hygiene construction, enhanced kitchen organization, and a flexible loading layout that frees up room in the lower baskets by replacing traditional cutlery baskets. However, a major con is its limited compatibility, as it only fits models with pre-installed side roller tracks, and some users note that loose cutlery can slide out of place when pulling the drawer open quickly.
