Features & Specs - Samsung DW7933LRA[SR]
Sensor A sensor adjusts water usage and cycle time to the amount of soil on the dishes. This should make a dishwasher use water more efficiently, but we found that wasn't always the case. Moreover, a sensor can increase a machine's running time. Sensor	Yes
Self-cleaning filter A filter that cleans itself is convenient, but it can add to noise. Note that it's often the costly foreign brands that lack self-cleaning filters and require periodic manual cleaning of the filter. Self-cleaning filter	Yes
Stainless-steel tub Unlike a plastic tub, a stainless-steel one won't discolor, but it does increase the cost of a dishwasher by about $100. Stainless-steel tub	Yes
Hidden controls Controls along the top edge of the door contribute to a sleeker look. Some models hide all controls; others hide only some controls. Hidden controls	No
Ample flatware slots Flatware baskets with lids provide individual slots for most of the utensils in our silverware load. Such lids prevent "nesting" and thus improve flatware cleaning. It is more time-consuming to load the cutlery into individual slots, though, so you can remove the lids if you prefer. Ample flatware slots	Yes
Adjustable upper rack Most models hold cups and glasses on the top rack, plates on the lower rack, and silverware in a basket. The ability to adjust the upper rack up or down an inch or so allows for more flexibility in loading items such as tall glasses. Adjustable upper rack	Yes
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless steel is stylish, but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	Yes

Comment:

DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER BUYING THIS MACHINE. This is the worst dishwasher we have ever seen. Long cycles that don't clean the dishes. Grime builds up quickly and it constantly needs cleaning. If you don't hand clean the grime build-up at the inside bottom of the door seal every couple of days, it will smell terrible.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

Eversince i purchased the dishwasher i keep having the same problem with it. The control panel breaks. It had been fixed 3 times already and still doesn't work. The dishes never came out clean, in fact, food particles were dried on the dishes. Glasses are cloudy. The dishwasher also smells like dead animal, even right after the cycle finishes. One cycle takes 2 and a half hour. I don't recommend this dishwasher for anyone
