Overall Rating: 4 / 5 (Very good)

With its stainless black finish, smooth exterior, and integrated controls, Samsung DW80K7050UG/AA is an especially sleek, modern-looking machine. Aside from the beautiful exterior, it has a solid list of useful features. The extra spray jet to blast water from more than one angle is perfect for heavily soiled dishes, pots, or pans. And, with space for 15 place settings, a third rack and a flexible lower one that lets you accommodate oddly shaped items and cutlery, it has enough room for a medium-sized family or those that entertain often.

The DW80K7050UG/AA also boasts some unique features like AutoRelease Dry, which automatically opens the door 5 inches at the end of the cycle to let the steam out. It also has a leak control that will automatically shut off the machine’s electrical connection if it detects water leakage. On the con side, however, customer reviews for the machine are definitely mixed. An analysis of reviews across multiple websites show a large number of complaints regarding how often the leak control error message appears, which can shut down the machine's operations. Customers also complained about Samsung’s customer service, with many claiming it was hard to get support.

Overall, this is a well-designed, beautiful machine, with plenty of features that could make it a great asset for a family. However, the mixed customer reviews - especially given how consistently the leak control error was cited as an issue - bring down its score.

Samsung DW80K7050UG/AA Appearance

Quality - 4 / 5

The Samsung DW80K7050UG/AA model features a stainless black finish, which is made from the same materials as stainless steel but adds a polymer black coating to give it a beautifully smooth look. This model has a sleek integrated control panel on the door and, although these are not clearly visible when the dishwasher is closed, it does have a light that shines across the room indicating when the cycle is in progress.

Samsung DW80K7050UG/AA Performance & Features

Performance - 4 / 5

At 44dBA, the Samsung DW80K7050UG/AA is one of the quietest machines on the market. It's a powerful one though, with an extra spray arm and a dedicated section to heavily soiled items that allows it to tackle even caked-on food remnants. It also has adjustable racks, giving it more flexibility. One of its features - the leak control feature - will shut off the machine's electrical connection if it detects a water leak. However, there are many customer complaints regarding the leak control error code and how often it comes up making it a possible drawback.

Do not buy this dishwasher. I've had mine for 2 years and have had nothing but trouble. Going to have to replace it soon.

Run from Samsung kitchen appliances. It is so quiet you don’t believe it is working .... but that’s because it doesn’t really work. All those negative reviews are completely true . The top level is useless as water doesn’t get up there ... and unless you use top of the range Cascade platinum and the heavy cycle you will be disappointed. I spent $4000 on a refrigerator and oven .... and had 4 service visits inside the one year warranty. The dishwasher just crapped out after two years with a circuit board failure ... covered for 5 years but I have to pay $250 call out . Bye bye Samsung ... putting that $250 towards a brand new kitchen aid that will clean dishes. Samsung do great TVs and... Read More

I wish also I had done research on reviews. I have had my dishwasher for 1 ½ years and am getting a 3C (failed pump) error. I always buy cheap appliances, washers/dryers, etc. and never have any problems, but the first time I decide to upgrade .. nothing but problems.

Do not purchase this dishwasher. We bought it in May and didn't take it out of the box and install until September. It was installed professionally. The LC code started in May and then it would work again. Finally in July I spoke with a rep because it was happening every time we used it. Have to shut off the breaker in order to make it reset. Once we looked online we realize this is a HUGE reoccurring issue with almost every person who has purchased this. My brother also has the same appliance set and he also had the problem. The dishwasher is not leaking, we've had it checked out. It's the sensor that only works for a few months. Very unimpressed. It did not work for a year, but because... Read More
