Samsung’s StormWash+ AutoRelease Dry dishwasher solves a simple problem: dishes that stay wet after a cycle. The AutoRelease door pops open at the end of the wash, letting steam escape and air circulate naturally. This cuts drying time significantly and prevents that trapped-moisture smell you get with sealed machines. At 42dBA, it’s whisper quiet—you won’t hear it running from the next room, even during the heavy wash cycle.

The interior uses Samsung’s StormWash+ system, which directs three powerful spray jets at stubborn spots. In testing, that means baked-on cheese and dried oatmeal come off without pre-rinsing. The fingerprint-resistant finish on the stainless steel is genuinely useful—smudges wipe away easily, and the surface stays clean-looking between wipes. It’s ENERGY STAR certified, so it won’t spike your utility bill.

One thing to note: the integrated style requires a custom panel to match your cabinetry. That’s standard for this category, but it adds installation complexity and cost. If you want a drop-in unit with a finished front, look at Samsung’s standard models. For a built-in that blends into your kitchen and dries dishes reliably, the StormWash+ delivers.
