Verdict

The SMEG LVSP345BQX is a 60 cm freestanding dishwasher from the Universale collection featuring a fingerprint-proof stainless steel finish and a 14-place-setting capacity. Powered by an Inverter 2.0 motor, it offers an efficient Class B energy rating consuming 64 kWh per 100 cycles, along with a low water consumption of 9 liters per cycle. Key performance benefits include the patented Planetarium Wash System for 360-degree spray coverage, a flexible FlexiDuo third cutlery basket, and a Dry Assist+ system that automatically opens the door at the cycle's end to optimize drying. It operates quietly at a 44 dB noise level across 11 washing programs—including a 27-minute Express cycle and a 75°C Hygiene program—while integrating safety via a Total Aqua Stop flood protection system. However, its comprehensive 4-hour-and-25-minute standard Eco cycle duration can be quite long, and its specialized glass holder kit must be purchased separately.
