Editorial note

The Smeg PL531X dishwasher stands out for its modern and elegant design, particularly thanks to its stainless steel finish that harmoniously integrates into all kitchen styles. With a capacity of 13 place settings, it is ideal for families and group meals, allowing for a large amount of dishes to be washed at once. Its five wash programs and four temperature settings offer appreciated flexibility to adapt to different types of dishes. However, some drawbacks should be noted. Although its energy efficiency class A+ is acceptable, it may not satisfy those looking for more economical models. Additionally, the noise level of 47 dB is relatively quiet, but may be perceived as a bit too loud compared to ultra-quiet dishwashers available on the market. The capacity of 13 place settings may also not be sufficient for large families, leading to additional wash cycles. Finally, the annual water consumption of 2744 L is higher than some more economical models, which could influence water bills. Overall, the user experience is positive thanks to practical features like delayed start, although access to internal components may pose challenges during maintenance. In summary, the Smeg PL531X is a solid choice for those who prioritize design and functionality, while being aware of its limitations in terms of energy efficiency and capacity.
