Fisher & Paykel vs Samsung Dishwashers

For UK dishwasher buyers, Fisher & Paykel is anchored by the Fisher & Paykel DW60UT4HI2 (£995.00), backed by Fisher & Paykel DD60D2HNX9 (£1499.00) and Fisher & Paykel DD60D4HNX9 (£1695.00). Samsung counters with the Samsung DW60BG730FSLEU 13 Place Setting Dishwasher 9 Programmes - Silver (£449), plus Samsung DW60DG760FSLU4 Series 6 60cm Dishwasher with Water Jet Clean - Silver (£549). The comparison is about engineering feel, drying quality, loading flexibility, smart features and how much of the budget you want to put into a machine that may run every day.

Fisher & Paykel is the design-led choice, especially through DishDrawer-style models with independent drawers, flexible loading, quiet brushless motors, fan-assisted drying, sanitise cycles and premium detailing. Samsung adds visible modern features, including WaterJet Clean on the Series 6 model, Auto Door Open drying on selected units, 9 programmes, stainless finishes and flexible racking aimed at tech-conscious family kitchens. In day-to-day use, that means Fisher & Paykel tends to feel more refined when glassware, pans and mixed loads share one basket, while Samsung puts more emphasis on app prompts, large place-setting figures and simple programmes that are easy to understand.

Fisher & Paykel suits design-led kitchens, entertainers and anyone who values drawer loading over basic capacity, especially if the dishwasher will run nightly and low noise, drying consistency and parts support matter. Samsung suits tech-friendly households that want recognisable features at mid-range pricing, particularly if its capacity, finish or control style fits your kitchen better. Energy payback is normally modest between modern Eco programmes, so the better investment is the machine you will load correctly, maintain and actually use on its efficient cycle.

Bottom line: "choose Fisher & Paykel if you want quieter, more polished dishwashing with stronger long-term confidence / opt for Samsung if you want lower upfront cost, useful capacity and practical features for everyday family loads."
