Samsung DW80CG5450SR/AA

This Samsung suits shoppers who want drying-door release and connected controls without choosing a flagship model. The third rack offers an alternative to putting every utensil in the basket.

StormWash is a designated cleaning feature, not a reason to ignore loading instructions. Keep spray paths clear and compare your largest pans with the actual lower rack.

The cabinet fit deserves extra care: Samsung’s online and older downloadable cutout figures differ. Have the installer work from the manual supplied with the exact unit before making cabinetry changes.

Why consider it

  • Automatic door-opening drying
  • Adjustable upper rack
  • Wi-Fi monitoring and downloadable cycles

Consider before buying

  • AutoRelease needs a clear path
  • Lower-rack tines are not fold-down in the published specification
  • Cabinet-height figures differ between web page and older sheet

Contents & use

  • Published configuration includes cutlery basket and third rack.
  • Confirm the installation pack and separately purchased connections; the product specification is not a complete box inventory.

Before you buy

  • Use the supplied installation manual for cutout dimensions.
  • Match the SR/AA stainless variant, not white-glass CB5450.
  • Confirm power cable, water line and mounting parts with the installer.

AutoRelease needs room to be useful

The automatic door release is a practical drying feature only if the door can open where the machine is installed. Check the aisle, adjacent traffic and the installation guidance before choosing it for an otherwise tight kitchen. The published lower-rack tines are not fold-down, so load flexibility also deserves a physical check if you wash bulky cookware.

The Bosch 500 is a relevant automatic-opening alternative with different racks and a lower declared noise figure. For the Samsung, resolve the height difference between the web page and older sheet against the exact unit’s installation instructions. A small discrepancy can matter beneath a fixed countertop.

Compare before you choose

Compare door-opening clearance and rack layout first; do not order the Samsung for a tight opening until the exact installation height is confirmed.
