What we like about Smeg DI362DQ

  • Sliding top cutlery drawer frees up bottom space and safely holds sharp knives
  • Convenient touch screen control panel with no moving parts to prevent water ingress
  • Dry Assist+ system automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle to aid natural drying
  • Handy 30-minute express quick wash program for small or lightly soiled loads
  • Quiet operation powered by a brushless inverter motor
  • Total AquaStop feature offers excellent peace of mind against leaks

What we don't like about Smeg DI362DQ

  • Cleaning performance is noticeably less effective on the short express programs compared to longer ones
  • Requires regular manual replenishment of dishwasher salt and rinse aid for optimal performance
  • General customer service feedback for the brand notes that off-warranty repairs can be quite costly

Verdict

The Smeg DI362DQ is a 60 cm fully integrated dishwasher measuring (H)81.8 x (W)59.6 x (D)55.0 cm, offering a generous 14 place settings and 8 wash programmes, including a 30-minute rapid wash and an eco-friendly mode. Built with a durable stainless steel tub and a quiet Inverter 2.0 motor (46 dB noise rating), it ensures long-lasting and low-disturbance operation. Key pros include the Dry Assist+ system which automatically opens the door at the end of a cycle to improve drying efficiency, and the Total AquaStop leak protection for peace of mind. On the downside, the appliance holds a D energy efficiency rating and a C noise emission rating, and it lacks premium smart connectivity features.
