Smeg Dishwashers

Smeg’s unique wash systems ensure water reaches every single corner of the dishwasher. Many premium models feature the Planetary or Planetarium Wash System, where a single wash arm rotates on two axes at once. Think of it like the Earth spinning on its axis while also orbiting the sun - this movement creates a dense water pattern that gets between every dish for a truly thorough clean. Other models use the powerful Orbital Wash System, which has two spray arms that work together to guarantee great coverage and spotless results.

There’s nothing worse than pulling out dishes that are still wet. Many Smeg dishwashers solve this with the Dry Assist+ feature. At the end of the cycle, the dishwasher door automatically opens a little. This lets steam escape and uses the natural heat inside to dry everything perfectly, even plastics. It also saves energy because it doesn't need to run a heated drying element for as long.

Whether you're in a hurry or tackling a big, messy load, Smeg has a cycle to suit. The Express 27' program is perfect for lightly soiled plates you want cleaned straight after a meal, getting them done in just 27 minutes. For a regular load, the Full Express 60' program delivers a complete wash and dry in only an hour. For extra peace of mind, many models, like the popular Smeg DWAU615DB3, include a Hygiene 99.9% or Sanitise program, which uses a high-temperature rinse to remove germs from things like baby bottles and cutting boards.

A noisy dishwasher can be a real distraction, especially in open-plan homes. Smeg designs their dishwashers to run quietly, with some models operating as low as 42 decibels (dB) - that’s quieter than a library. They use efficient inverter motors and excellent insulation to keep the noise down, so you can run a cycle anytime, day or night, without disturbing anyone.

A freestanding dishwasher offers the most flexibility. You can place it anywhere you have a water connection and power, or simply slide it into a space under your kitchen bench. They come with their own finished top and sides, making installation a breeze. The Smeg DWA6234X4 is a great example, offering top-tier features in a simple, go-anywhere package.

Built-under (or underbench) models are designed to fit perfectly under your kitchen benchtop for a more built-in look. They don't have a top panel, so they slide in neatly and sit flush with your cabinetry. You'll still see the front of the dishwasher, which often comes in finishes like stainless steel, black, or even matte black to match your other appliances.

For a completely seamless kitchen design, an integrated dishwasher is the way to go. These models are designed to have a custom cabinet panel fixed to the front, so they blend in perfectly with the rest of your kitchen. A semi-integrated dishwasher model keeps the control panel visible, while a fully-integrated dishwasher hides the controls on the top edge of the door, making it completely invisible when closed.

If you want to make a statement, Smeg’s 50s Retro Style dishwashers offer that iconic, colourful look with all the modern cleaning tech inside. For a truly unique kitchen layout, Smeg even offers a horizontal dishwasher like the STH903, which is wider and shorter, perfect for installing at waist height for easy loading.

Yes, Smeg dishwashers are highly regarded for their combination of beautiful Italian design, robust build quality, and innovative cleaning technologies. They consistently earn strong reviews from Australian customers for their performance, quiet operation, and reliability.

The Planetary system provides the most thorough clean with a single arm that moves on two axes, creating a complex wash pattern for total coverage. The Orbital system uses a more traditional dual-arm setup that still ensures water is distributed effectively for a great clean.

Most Smeg dishwashers have very fast cycles to save you time. The Express 27' program is for lightly soiled dishes and takes only 27 minutes, while the Full Express 60' program can wash and dry a standard load in just one hour.

Yes, they do an excellent job, especially models with the Dry Assist+ feature. This function automatically opens the door after the cycle, allowing fresh air to circulate, which significantly improves drying results on all items, including tricky plastics.
