Third-party reviews

What customers like about SPT SD-6501W

  • 7.6 L of water per cycle keeps water use low.
  • 14 place settings take a full family load in one go.
  • Washing and drying both reach class A.
  • A delay start of up to 24 h lets you run it overnight.
  • Salt and rinse aid indicators show when to top up.
  • The adjustable water softener suits hard water.

What customers don't like about SPT SD-6501W

  • At 55 dB it is loud enough to disturb a quiet room.
  • The top basket cannot be adjusted in height.
  • There is no half load option for a few plates.
  • There is no favorite cycle to save your usual setting.
  • There is no load sensor, so a small load runs the same cycle as a full one.

Verdict

Sound is the catch with the SPT SD-6501W: at 55 dB it is loud enough to hear from the next room. Run it when the house is empty or at night, and the sound matters less. Water use is light, at 7.6 L per cycle, for a machine that holds 14 place settings. Washing and drying both reach class A, and there is a delicate program, a delay start of up to 24 h and salt and rinse aid indicators. The top basket is fixed in height, so tall glasses take some planning. There is no half load option and no favorite cycle to save your usual setting. The 1.5 m supply hose suits most kitchens. It fits a family that loads one big batch a day and does not mind the racket.
