The 7 Best Semi-integrated Dishwashers May, 2021 (And 3 Other Models)

Given its compound ranking of 86%, we conclude that the LG LDF5545ST is currently Alphachooser's best semi-integrated dishwasher 2021. Alphachooser also concludes that our sample of 3754 reviews from multiple sources gives us a high confidence level (more on confidence levels) that justifies calling it a "no-brainer best choice."

The SHE3AR75UC is a 50-dB-valued semi-integrated Bosch dishwasher with the 30-minute-or-less Quick Wash program, which also has a soil sensor that they claim will save up to 20% in energy consumption.

The FFBD2412SS is a semi-integrated dishwasher that gets to work using mostly-ordinary features, which include a 55-dBA noise rating, 14 place settings, and a 90-minute Energy Saver wash program, but it is also offered in a slightly-cheaper Silver Mist variant (FFBD2412SM), which looks a bit similar to the stainless-steel version (FFBD2412SS).

The SPE53U55UC is a stainless-steel semi-integrated dishwasher that embraces a rather-silent (for an 18-incher) 46-dBA noise rating and carries nine place settings, a stainless-steel tub, and a prolonged-drying feature, which they call ExtraShine.

The GE GSD2100VWW uses a mechanical knob dial and a rocker switch, which seems to remind us of old-fashioned dishwasher controls.

Considering that the 4.5-star-rated GE GDF650SSJSS has a quieter-than-average 46dB noise rating, it's to no one's surprise that many among the 69 reviews of this model that our crawler system has analyzed are raving about its relatively-silent operation. More than that, a good number of its buyers also claim that it cleans dishes excellently, without them having to perform a pre-rinse. This quiet semi-integrated dishwasher also appears to have more reviews praising its drying capability than what we're usually used to reading.

You can't please everyone, as the saying goes -- and this model is no exception. It has been criticized for its longer cycle times (as the shortest cycle is at 55 minutes, whereas many other dishwashers offer 45-minute programs). Further, some reviewers were bothered by its alleged "cheap-feeling" construction and "flimsy" racks and silverware basket. However, while reviews that say these things make up most of its low ratings, there's barely any reported incidents of an actual material breakdown.

Besides, it looks like the GE GDF650SSJSS worked hard to counterbalance these potential negatives by nailing its design (described by many as attractive and sleek) and including a bottle-washer feature that's also well-appreciated by many of its consumers. Seeing this, this quiet dishwasher may have just proven itself worthy of the honor of being an Alphachooser good choice.

The Thor Kitchen HDW2401SS dishwasher sports specs such as an adequately-competitive 45dBA noise rating, a multiple filter system, and a so-called Smart Wash feature, which determines the best cycle to use based on the soil level.

The Fisher and Paykel DD24DCT dishwasher's 44dBA noise rating and two independently-operating drawers give it an edge over other dishwasher models with similar specs.

The SPE68U55UC is a high-tier semi-integrated dishwasher with the leak-detecting 24/7 AquaStop feature, the Rackmatic rack system, a new 3rd rack version described as offering 30% more space, and a low 44-decibel rating.

The F92EKDPS is a 600-dish-per-hour 18-dish-capacity commercial stainless-steel dishwasher that apparently uses as low as half a gallon of water per cycle and has the quick-washing 2-, 3-, or 4-minute wash.
