  • The automatic door opening helps the dishes dry.
  • Fourteen place settings take a full family load.
  • A delicate programme protects fragile glasses.
  • At 31.3 kg the machine stays steady on the floor.

What customers don't like about Whirlpool WDP540HAMZ

  • At 55 dB it is loud in an open-plan kitchen.
  • The top wash temperature is 65 °C, so very hot cycles are not possible.
  • The cable is 1.3 m long, so the machine must stand near a socket.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be controlled from a phone.
  • There is no app or detergent tablet counter.

Verdict

Expect to hear the Whirlpool WDP540HAMZ in an open kitchen, since it runs at 55 dB. A quiet wash programme gives you a calmer cycle when you need one, which helps at night. Fourteen place settings take a full family load, and the automatic door opening helps the dishes dry. A delicate programme handles fragile glasses, and a delay start lets you pick the time of the wash. At 31.3 kg it is heavy, but the weight keeps it steady on the floor. The 1.3 m cable means it has to stand close to a socket. Each cycle uses 9.5 L of water, and the machine uses 2660 L a year. It suits a household that wants a sturdy machine for full loads and can live with the noise.
