Samsung DW80CG5450SRAA Built-In Dishwasher Review
Our verdict
A solid mid-range Samsung dishwasher with a quiet 46 dB rating and touch controls. The limited buyer feedback so far keeps it from a stronger recommendation, but the specs and price land in a reasonable spot for a household upgrade.

3 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Samsung DW80CG5450SRAA is a 24-inch built-in dishwasher priced at $599.99. It runs at 46 dB, which puts it in the quieter half of the standard dishwasher range and well below the threshold where you would notice it over normal household noise. The touch control panel keeps the front clean and simple to use.
At 83.8 lb, this is a full-size unit that fits a standard 24 x 24-inch cabinet opening. The stainless steel finish is a timeless choice and resists visible smudges better than glossy alternatives. Voltage is 120 V, so it works with a standard household circuit without any electrical upgrades.
The main caveat is the thin review pool. Three reviews averaging 3.0 stars is not enough to draw firm conclusions about long-term reliability or cleaning performance. If Samsung's broader dishwasher reputation and the listed specs meet your checklist, it is worth considering, but shoppers who want crowd-validated proof of quality should look elsewhere.
Pros
- 46 dB noise rating keeps it unobtrusive during normal use
- Touch controls provide a clean, streamlined look
- Stainless steel finish is durable and easy to wipe down
- Priced at $599.99, it sits in a competitive mid-range bracket
- Standard 24 x 24-inch footprint fits most kitchen cabinet openings
Cons
- Only 3 reviews with a 3.0 average, making reliability hard to judge
- No published place settings count in the listing specs
- No wattage data available to estimate energy draw
Performance notes
The 46 dB noise level is the most objective data point here. For context, 46 dB is roughly equivalent to a quiet library, meaning you should be able to carry on a conversation in an adjacent room without raising your voice. Touch controls add convenience but have no mechanical feedback, so accidental button presses are more possible than with push buttons. Dimensions of 24 x 24 x 34.13 inches match the standard built-in slot, and the 83.8 lb weight is typical for a unit of this class.
What buyers say
With only 3 reviews at 3.0 stars, buyer sentiment is inconclusive. There is not enough volume to identify patterns around cleaning quality, noise in practice, or installation ease. Prospective buyers should factor this uncertainty into their decision.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Samsung DW80CG5450SRAA require a special electrical circuit?
No. It runs on 120 V, which is a standard household voltage in the US. You will not need a dedicated high-voltage circuit.
How quiet is 46 dB in practice?
46 dB is roughly the sound level of a quiet library or a low hum. Most people find dishwashers at or below 50 dB easy to ignore while watching TV or having a conversation nearby.
Is the stainless steel finish fingerprint resistant?
Samsung lists the finish as stainless steel but does not specify fingerprint-resistant coating for this model. Regular wiping with a damp cloth should keep it looking clean.
