Sharp Dishwasher 24-inch

For an open-concept kitchen or a household that runs dishes in the evening, noise and loading flexibility can matter as much as cycle count. The Sharp SDW6736MS is a 24-inch dishwasher with a stated 47 dBA noise level, an adjustable third rack, and a sprayer intended to help with heavily soiled pots and pans.

It also offers wash zones for smaller loads. The tradeoff is that the available details don’t specify place settings or cycle times, so those priorities may need a closer look before choosing.

What matters most

The standout feature is the combination of a movable third rack and a dedicated Power Wash sprayer. The top rack slides from side to side to make room for flatware, serving utensils, and cooking tools. That can be handy after cooking: keep small utensils up top while leaving the main racks available for plates and cookware. The extra sprayer is designed for pots and pans with stuck-on messes, rather than relying on the regular rack arrangement alone.

At 47 dBA, Sharp describes this model as “Library Quiet.” That makes the sound rating relevant if the kitchen opens onto a living area or you prefer to run the dishwasher later in the day. It has a stainless steel tub, top-touch controls, six wash cycles, seven options, and heated dry. The feature list is useful, though it doesn’t name the individual cycles or options, so there’s no basis here to compare their specific settings.

Size & fit

The listed product dimensions are 23-7/8" x 33-7/8" x 26-15/32". The stated cutout dimensions are 24" x 34" (35" max) x 24". Those figures make this a built-in-style choice for an opening that matches the specified measurements, not a freestanding dishwasher you can place anywhere. If your current opening differs, don’t assume it will fit without that measurement.

The product depth is greater than the listed cutout depth, so installation details matter, the provided figures alone don’t explain how the unit sits relative to surrounding cabinets. Check the space and installation requirements for your kitchen before committing, especially if the opening is tight.

Tips for day-to-day use

Use the sliding third rack for loose flatware and longer serving or cooking tools, shifting it sideways when you need extra room. For a smaller batch, the wash zones are designed to clean using either rack, which may be more practical than waiting to fill the whole dishwasher. The Power Wash sprayer is the feature to consider when a load includes heavily soiled pots and pans.

For everyday planning, think about what usually fills your sink. If it’s utensils and cookware, the third rack and targeted sprayer address those needs directly. If you mainly want a simple machine for routine plates and cups, a model with fewer specialized features could also be worth considering. The listed details don’t say how much each wash zone saves, so treat the water- and energy-saving benefit as a stated design aim rather than a quantified result.

Before you decide

Does it have a third rack? Yes. The adjustable top rack slides from right to left to create space for flatware, serving utensils, and cooking tools.

Can it wash a smaller load? It has wash zones intended to clean using either rack, though the details provided don’t specify which cycles or settings apply.

What drying and control features are listed? It includes heated dry and top-touch controls, alongside six wash cycles and seven options.

Should you buy it?

It makes sense if you want a built-in 24-inch dishwasher with a quietness-focused rating, flexible utensil storage, and a dedicated sprayer for dirty cookware. You may want to skip it if your priority is a verified place-setting capacity, detailed cycle information, or installation guidance beyond the dimensions listed here. The fit is the key practical decision: match the stated cutout dimensions to your kitchen, then weigh whether the third rack and wash zones solve problems you actually have.
