Samsung DW60H6050FS / DW60H6050FW
Verified51 reviews
Our rental has this dishwasher, but compared to the one in our previous rental the quality is significantly worse. It doesn't clean properly. It's noisy when starting the programme. Everything is still wet in the morning, while we let it run from 11pm.
Terrible – Do not buy this dishwasher! 3 break downs in less than 3 years, all covered under warranty (great) However that's 3 days off work to have it fixed. Terrible job at washing. Customer service at Samsung shocking and rude! Show details

Don't purchase – Cleaning adequate, generally have to rinse prior to putting in The top shelf cutlery is the worst for cleaning to the point I have removed it & bought a dishwashing basket. This has now meant I have room for my plates & pans I use my dishwasher every day at times twice a day I would never buy this brand again Show details

If i could score a zero, I would – I see some reviewers have had issues after months and even years. Let me get to the point, my dishwasher is brand new and issues from the start. Used 3 times and we have abandoned it. Leaks badly - first wash, flooded my kitchen. Same with the third wash. Doesn't clean dishes - wash (different program) leaves glasses cloudy, doesn't clean… Read more
tea/coffee cups and cutlery are left with food on them.
Error - third wash HC error, indicating water temp issue.
Layout - please get rid of the cutlery top shelf. It takes up valuable shelf height and by the time you load the cutlery in the convoluted tray, you could have hand washed the lot. A simple basket works better. The glass and cup shelf not capable of accepting a normal sized glass (because the top shelf takes up this space).
Build - poor. Feels flimsy and the door doesn't fit properly. Program buttons don't feel sure and the whole panel moves with the lightest press.
We are pretty loyal to the Samsung brand (4 Tv's 2 washing machines, mobile phones)
Samsung, please listen. Either provide a reliable quality dishwasher that wears the Samsung brand with pride or abandon this venture and leave it to the big boys.
Lastly. I so wish I had simply repaired my 15yr old di longhi. It only failed us once and that was after 15yrs of use and abuse.

Nice Surprise, as Mr. Burns would say "Excellent" – OK My partner got this with fly buy points and after I read the bad reviews was expecting a possible Lemon. First, the unit was packed very well and it was easy to install but there were many small wire packing ties, foam packers and Styrofoam padding pieces inside the unit that needed removing, some small ties clamping the washing arms in place… Read more
for transport were hard to see and made me wonder if the people who reviewed this washer as bad actually removed all the transportation wire ties.
I replaced a ten year old Miele washer of almost the exact same size and already having a cutlery tray I am used to it and am glad this unit comes with one std. I love not having to cut fingers on knives using silly baskets.
I deliberately put a few big loads of rather filthy, sticky and greasy dishes that normally have a little trouble washing first time round just to see what would happen. I set the unit on auto, the washer completed it's tasks Perfectly! The time taken took a little longer than expected, some plastic lids and deep boles were still moist but the cutlery and crockery all came out hot and dry! EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN!!
The unit runs a little more quietly than the Miele and the door has no release trigger you just pull it open.
The door does feel a little flimsy but other than that I have nothing but praise for the unit. There are plenty of adjustable spaces and the cutlery tray even has sliding and stacking options to allow tall glass to fit below.
At the going price I have no problem recommending this unit to anyone.
Time will tell if I am still happy in ten years of coarse but rest assure if I am not I will write about it.
Simply Brilliant – Judging by some of the negative reviews it is clear that some people don't know how to stack a dishwasher and don't realise that a different design will require a slightly different approach. Firstly read the user manual, requirements for the proper use of this Samsung dishwasher are different from your last machine. If you want your contents to… Read more
be cleaned properly don't over load it and remove as much food as possible prior to stacking, rinse or wipe heavily soiled/dirty, oily and fatty items, it's a dishwasher not a waste disposal unit. The smaller the amount of solids in the dishwasher when loaded results in subsequently better results.
I have long stemmed wine glass and they fit using the wine glass stem holder when the shelf set to its lower position, on a slightly more acute angle than my previous dishwasher. If you have large plates raising the centre shelf will accommodate them, tall glasses and stems won't fit on the adjustable shelf when in this configuration but can still be accommodated on the bottom shelf with plates or washed next time.
There is no problem with Finish tablets dissolving, if you experience this the tables are old and affected by exposure to moisture. Finish Quantum is what I have used for many years and the results for everything washed in this Samsung dishwasher are spectacular.
The most noticeable great feature is how quiet the Samsung dishwasher is. There are plenty of standard wash options, I have found that using the normal wash cycle gets the best results and is the most energy and water efficient for a full load.
This is a great dishwasher.

10 years service great outcome – We had one of these dishwashers for over ten years. Was amazing at the clean. Needed to clean filters in the last few years but awesome dishwasher Show details · 1
Makes dishwashing easy! – A decent size to place a fair amount of dishes and pots on the bottom rack and smaller dishes and cups on top tray. Quick wash function is a good feature and dishes feel and look clean. Noise level is relatively okay and good value for money. Reliable and simple to use. Show details
Good clean effective – Great looking, sleek finish, effective dishwasher. Cutlery tray at the top which means the cutlery must be clean or your glass wear underneath on the next shelf will be marked and left dirty after the wash is complete. All the plates and other items in the bottom are easily arranged to allow a good maximum load of dishes, versatile. Show details
Negative reviews
Looking forward to putting into waste - zero stars – Slow Does not clean dishes very well Does not fit dishes very well in bottom rack Very low capacity Shelf for mugs/glasses is a very weird shape Can't wait to throw it out Show details

Worst dishwasher ever, do not buy this product! – I bought one of these dishwashers last week, and tried different modes and it does not clean dishes well at all. Spoke to Samsung and they are sending someone tomorrow to have a look at it to see if we have installed it properly etc. Please go for a different brand! Show details

LE fault, would except longer life – Have had it since 2015/2016. Often cleaning sprays and top spray arm keeps falling off. Used daily 1.5 times. Sometimes could wash better as had to rewash load. Now LE fault. Would except unit to last longer without having to be fixed. My other Samsung products no problem but reading reviews will be looking at a different brand of dishwasher. Show details

Thank you ALL – Wow, I thought being a Samsung, I was about to buy it. I was that close I nearly didn't check the reviews as I had that much faith, thanks everyone for your reviews. I have to be fair as in to both the reviewers and Samsung, so have 3 stars, down the middle. Somebody is selling a new one in the box, glad I didn't give a donation. Show details
Worst dishwasher EVER !! – This is undoubtedly the worst dishwasher I have ever owned of used. The filtration system is shocking, and no matter how much debris you remove from the plates etc, the spray bars are constantly clogged with waste. Its a weekly task to try to unclog them. Glasses and cups come out worse than before they were cleaned. The lower door seal harbours… Read more
dirt and grime. Currently looking for another brand.. this one is destined for the bin !! I flagged these to Samsung who brushed me off with excuses etc. A little poor from a company like Samsung.

Absolutely rubbish! – Our dishwasher is absolute rubbish ! It was VERY expensive and has never been any good - right from day one ! Dishes / glasses / pots / pans are never clean despite us rinsing them off first. Worst thing is it’s filthy inside constantly - rubbish design that doesn’t seem to rid itself of grime ! I’m CONSTANTLY cleaning it! Noel lemmings have been… Read more

Not Emptying and Leaking Water – Purchased this dishwasher in December 2015 based on the reputable brand name of Samsung. Could have gone with a cheaper generic brand but decided with Samsung. It has been used for a daily medium load and worked fine for 3 and a half years, always cleaned the filters etc. Now it is leaking. Getting an LE error. Not happy with this fact and thought it was reliable especially when it filters and spray arms and hoses are regularly cleaned. Show details

Oh god where to start – Dishwasher worked well to begin with....... after a year or so dishes came out dirty, the door was dirty..... followed instructions and cleaned everything still coming out dirty...... used finish, fairy, ultra, all the tablets still coming out dirty...... all loaded properly etc. Turns the spray arms are full of bits of food, worst thing ever to… Read more
clean as they don’t all come out.... not sure if it was just the one we got (which was a replacement machine for the original one that had technical issues) but the filter section seemed to let a fair amount of food through which went through the pump into the spray arms. Interesting that it’s now discontinued. Would not recommend at all
Unreliable – Dishwasher did a good job of cleaning but I hated stacking the cutlery tray. We have had it a little over 4 years and it has developed a leak on xmas eave would you believe. I am sick to death of products failing too soon and 4 years is ridicules. I expect to get 10 years out of an appliance. Who can afford to rotate all there white wear every 5… Read more
years. What annoys me is through the internet I learn this is a common problem with Samsung and from this point on its a merry go round of repairs. There is no way this thing will make 10y even with an expensive repair. We will throw it in the bin and I will troll through this site till I find something that lasts and buy that!

Dreadful – We bought this dishwasher brand new only 3 years ago. It worked reasonably well until 3 weeks ago when it just stopped dead. The technician who came to look at it for us said the motor was dead and recommended buying another brand as Samsung have a bad name for dishwashers. When choosing the model to review from the dropdown list at the top of… Read more
this page, I see that both models have been discontinued. I now know why after reading other reviews. We are very disappointed as we seem to have no way to claim money back as the official warranty was only for two years. We will not be buying Samsung appliances in the future.

Worst dishwasher – We are in a similar situation to Bron. Bought a new house and moved in late August 2018. This is the date indicated below. The date of manufacture is June 2015 on the label inside the door. It has this Samsung Dishwasher as we and we are finding the dishes are never cleaned. We have tried various ways of stacking it, various quantities of dishes… Read more
etc in it and everytime a good third of the dishes come out as bad as they were before. We have taken to hand washing dishes as they are ending up cleaner this way and at least they are drying properly too. Dishes are coming our still very wet and leaving water marks on glasses.
Dishes are always rinsed before washing and anything that goes in with food stuck to it are soaked before washing.
This is the first Samsung Dishwasher we have owned and it will be the last.

This is a disaster! – We moved into this house 6 months ago to a three year old renovated kitchen. We have a Samsung dishwasher and oven. The oven is a amazing..but the dishwasher is a disaster! We run cleaning cycles through the machine and clean the filter and arms regularly because we never get a clean load out of the machine. Instead, we end up with dishes that… Read more
can be dirtier after the wash than when they went in. It's a shame because for a small period of time there it was working fine and the stacking positions we used worked, then all of sudden, they wouldn't. The dispenser for washing powder never dissolves the whole load. I believe the machine is quiet because there is simply not enough power in the machine to do the job.
I believe you should always rinse your dishes, stack well and clean the machine, but at the same time it's a dishwasher and therefore should actually wash the dishes!

dead after 5 years – worked well, reasonable noise. however, dead only after 5 years.... technician came a couple of times to fix things, service is good. normally a dishwasher should work for about 10 years.... so, not happy with it. ....... we bought from costco, though. not sure if it worth to fix it.

Terrible..Terrible..Terrible – Terrible Terrible Terrible!! Wish i could have give 0 rating. We bought this dishwasher brand new and plumber installed it and on the first wash it self it stop working. We called Samsung support team, after several questions they agree to send technician out there just to assess the dishwasher, and their technicians can only attend weekdays and… Read more
normal working hours, so we manage to show arrange a date with tech, all he is assessing by pressing the on and off buttons and open and close the doors,,, very basic things which call center already ask me to do it. Anyway after this assessment another tech came to fix the dishwasher and he fixed it by replacing the mother board.
we used it for could of months and all good. With in the third month it broken again, this time issue is very intermittent. Power is on but washer never start, same routine cycle of calling Samsung call center and wait in line for hours and hours ... and assessment and followed by tech visit to fix the issue.. Again for the second time tech replaced the mother board, but this time when powered on our whole house fuse tripped off. And technician confirmed this has to tested in the warehouse. and he gave up on it that particular day.
All this time i was requesting for a replacement but Case manager never agreed for it.. and issue still goes on for 2 months and finally they agree to refund the money.
Worst appliance I have ever purchased – I have tried every cycle, I pre rinse in the sink, bought and tried every tablet and not once has this machine ever cleaned all my dishes. Usually about half of the dishes are dirty. My husband refuses to use it now. It is quiet, but maybe that is because it's not actually doing anything. Recently the detergent dispenser isn't even releasing the tablet. It is 2 years old but has never worked. Worst, most regretful purchase. Show details
Perfect if you can't afford one but really need one – When stacked properly cleans beautifully and dries well is very quiet I sometimes forget its on this washer lets you do practically any style of washing required oh and I love the child lock feature very handy recommend this product to buyers who are looking at renovating great for units etc living on a budget great product. Show details
Great – Good choice on buying this samsung model. The dishes comes out clean. I used the 35 minutes function and all stains were cleaned. Glasses sparkling after every wash. The only thing would say is annoying for me. No basket for the cutlery..only a tray in top. Functional but would like the basket..which can be bought separately. Apart from that. Love it to bits Show details
Clean dishes everytime – This dishwasher cleans my dishes spotlessly everytime, has several programs to choose from and is very quiet to run. It has lots of interior space for the family dishes and pots and everything always comes out brilliantly. The only minor problem I have with it, is for some reason I hear a clunk whenever I open the door now, but it hasn't caused a problem with its cleaning power. Show details
Awesome dishwasher – The best of the cheaper option dishwashers out there. Quiet, lots of programs, spacious and cheap to run. Bought it even cheaper as the carton was damaged but the dishwasher itself was in perfect condition. Easy and quick to install without the need to get a plumber out to the house. Show details
This is the best dish washer – This dishwasher cleans your dishes to perfection then it dry's them perfectly. This is a quiet machine that allows you to continue on with your evening, no loud noises. The machine has a good selection of programmes to use. Cutlery comes out clean and shiny. I would like to say that the filter is very easy to clean. Show details
Worths every penny! – We bought this dishwasher for our new home last year. There is a good range of programmes to choose from and the dishes always come out clean. Despite of its low price, I'm impressed at its capabilities and would recommend this product to anyone in the market for a new dishwasher. There's still a bit noisy when it's working but I don't find it… Read more
annoying. My only negative comment would be if the door is not opened after cycle finishes then the dishes do not dry really well and glasses can be streaked.
Best washer ever – I got this dishwasher after having my previous one for many years. I was not sure if I was buying the right machine, but after one wash I knew that this was the best dishwasher ever. Very quiet during operation, cleans the dishes perfectly and was a great price. I recommend to all. Very good product. Show details
excellent dishwasher – i can not believe how good this dishwasher is quiet,washes even the hardest of baked on food and lets me know when it is done by singing to me .When i bought the dishwasher this was one of the cheapest in store but was so surprised at its capabilities and would recommend this product to anyone in the market for a new dishwasher Show details
Good Dishwasher – There is a lot of space for dishes to be loaded. They always come out clean. The only problem I have is that because I rent there is no instructions on what the functions they are. It is also a bit noisy. But on a overall I am happy with the dishwasher Show details
