Electrolux ESF9551LOX Dishwasher Reviews

When purchasing a built-in dishwasher, you should plan ahead for its placement. You'll likely have to remodel or reorder your kitchen cabinets, which is expensive. The Electrolux ESF9551LOX dishwasher doesn't require this, as it's freestanding. Find a corner for it in your kitchen, and its attractive silver finish will make it a beautiful addition to your space. We have only a cursory review of its reliability and functionality, so to get a better understanding of this appliance, we'll turn to customer reviews.

I've always been very pleased with Electrolux quality. I've owned many of their appliances, and when I needed a dishwasher, I chose the Electrolux ESF9551LOX. It's simply excellent. I don't have enough adjectives to describe it, so I'll just list its advantages.

1. It cleans any dishware, no matter how dirty it is. Imagine the pot I brought back from my dacha to test. I'd recently been cooking the dog's food in it right on the stove. It was covered in soot and carbon deposits, but after two washes with the Electrolux, it was spotless, as if it had just come from a Soviet general store.
2. Saves water and detergent. I use an inexpensive one. Sanit dishwasher powderI buy a pack, which lasts me almost six months. The machine also uses little water. I can't make exact calculations, but based on rough estimates, I save up to 1.5 cubic meters of cold water over two months.

We don't wash dishes with cold water, so keep in mind that with a dishwasher you also save hot water.

3. It washes 13 place settings per load. In fact, that's a lot; you can't even fit that much in the sink.
4. It has a delayed start, allowing you to start the machine in the middle of the night. And given its quiet operation, it won't disturb anyone. In the morning, you can calmly take out clean dishes and have breakfast.
5. There are a bunch of different sensors and programs that make using the machine a pure pleasure.

So what's the bottom line? Ultimately, I can only advise everyone to buy a dishwasher like this and enjoy their kitchen life, just like I do now. I've even started cooking more often and more willingly. It's comforting to think I don't have to wash dishes!

My mom complains that this dishwasher's programs are too long, but I think it can't clean dishes quickly; it doesn't have arms, just spray arms. The fastest programs are 40 minutes long, and even then, they're only suitable for lightly soiled dishes. Electrolux washes better than many machines, and this is perhaps the most important thing.

The dishwasher always cleans equally well, whether you're putting a greasy duck roaster in it or a soup bowl. For particularly dirty dishes, I use the intensive cycle. It's slow but very effective. The water purity sensor ensures that nothing gets left on the dishes. You can wash dishes with tablets, but I find it cheaper to use powder, as I found a place where I can get it on sale for a really low price. I highly recommend Electrolux!

Larisa, Sevastopol

This is a large, good dishwasher that holds a lot. I wash everything in it, even vegetables; it's very convenient. Contrary to my expectations, the machine takes up very little space in the kitchen. That's because I placed it in a corner so it doesn't get in anyone's way. I love that the top rack can be moved higher, allowing the dishwasher to fit even the largest pots. A+!

Tatiana, St. Petersburg

I've had my Electrolux dishwasher for a year now. I'm very impressed. It's never broken down. The dishes stay smooth after every wash, and the shine is simply stunning. The appliance is top-notch; if anyone complains about it, I'll curse them out myself. Thanks to the dishwasher, I can take a break from housework for at least an hour and a half.

Yuri, Yekaterinburg

Two weeks ago, I decided to buy a large Electrolux ESF9551LOX dishwasher. Its 60 cm wide body fits a lot of dishes. The price is reasonable, which may have been the deciding factor. My wife was delighted, and now I don't have to stand at the sink. I'm very happy!

Anastasia, Novosibirsk

I'd been housekeeping for years without a dishwasher, but then I went to the appliance store and it all clicked. I really wanted one, especially since I had the money at the time. So, I didn't say anything to my husband, and by evening we had a brand new Electrolux ESF9551LOX in the house. The only question that keeps running through my head is why I didn't think of buying one sooner. Now I'm recommending it to all my friends!

Karina, Moscow

After the third use, the Electrolux ESF9551LOX dishwasher stopped filling with water. The problem is that we bought the machine in Moscow and then took it 300 km to our dacha. It's inconvenient to bring it back, and we have nothing to wash it with. Now I don't know what to do; it seems I'm doomed to wash dishes by hand all summer.

Ekaterina, Krasnodar

The dishwasher is incredibly expensive and has poor functionality.It doesn't even have a half-load function or a floor beam, and I had to shell out a whopping $740 for it—a monstrosity! Maybe the walls of its housing are plated with real silver, but no, it's just regular metal. Why so much money? It doesn't clean very well either, leaving streaks. Two stars!

At first, I was happy with the car, but after three months, it broke down. Something went wrong with the electronics. The mechanic promised to quickly replace the control module, but it would cost $65. It's a shame! It's also frustrating that I was wrongfully denied the warranty. I really want to take legal action, but I don't know if that's in my best interest. I'll consult a lawyer.

Eduard, Barnaul

I've had my Electrolux dishwasher for about six months now. I bought it on the advice of the salesperson. The last two times it washed the dishes, it only used cold water, so it seems something's wrong with the heating element. I'm really upset; I'm in trouble without a dishwasher; I'll have to call a repairman. How unreliable these machines are these days.
