I picked up my Smeg dishwasher yesterday and it kicks ass at washing.The build quality of that machine is unreal.
There is nothing exposed you can't see the motor or anything it is a steel box with insulation all around it and it has
a 120V Power-cord with plug and a electrified cold water hookup and the drain tube.My Dad is buying one he
loves the design and the attention to detail.I put it on my kitchen-table and hooked it up to the water hose outside and hung the
drain hose out the window LOL. I could not wait.I took last nights dishes and packed the thing and did not rinse or scrape nothing
and poured in a cup of hard cat food.I put in one packet of this new dishwasher detergent Grab-Green Tangerine and set it to
Auto wash and sani rinse.This dishwasher is very powerful you can hear the water but the motor is silent.The wash action
changes side to side.The racks have every type of adjustment you can think of and a half moon drip trap that falls down when you
open the door.
It sounds different than a normal dishwasher I think because those orbital wash arms are always hitting some different place. It is quieter than my L.G. on the table now. When it is installed with the wood panels
it will be silent almost.I am still trying to figure out how to set the cycles its kind of confusing I just hit Auto wash I wanted pot's and pans.Two and half hours later it was done and I opened the door and everything was spotless and there was no food
anywhere near or in the filter. I was floored I was expecting food to be on the bottom but nothing at all anywhere.
Tall glasses that never get clean where spotless and I covered all the spoons with peanut butter which never comes off it was all
gone.This machine has 4 spray arms two on top and the two orbital ones on the bottom.I packed this thing to the ceiling
with plates,pans,everything.It all came clean with a natural detergent and no TSP in it.I did fill the salt thing with a box of
Miele dishwasher salt and poured a liter of water in there.I guess that water softener makes a huge difference in cleaning.
There is a huge difference and this pains me to say this but the quality between this Smeg and any American made dishwasher.
This Smeg looks like a portable dishwasher that is how well it is insulated it is.
These new Kitchenaid dishwashers use these little 50 watt wash pumps on there 1800 dollar machines,which is the exact
same as a 300 Kenmore or Whirlpool which is sad.Now that they have brought back there Iconic wash arm I do not see
how that motor can move it the drain motor in most dishwasher are 40 watts.
I still want my old dishwasher's but I am very very impressed with this Euro made one..I just can't get over there was nothing
in the bottom of it..
