SPT Countertop Dishwashers: SD-2224 vs SD-2225 Models

The SPT SD-2224DS is the silver ENERGY STAR model with 7 wash cycles: heavy, normal, light, mini party, rinse, speed and soak. The soak cycle helps with pans left overnight, and the mini party cycle is designed for light loads, the kind of glasses and snack plates a small gathering leaves behind.

Delay start can be set for two, four, six or eight hours, so you can run it overnight or while you are out. Electronic controls with an LED display show remaining time or the current state, and indicators warn about water supply and rinse aid. A universal faucet adapter with Quick Connect attaches to most kitchen faucets. The title mentions a stainless steel interior, 6 place settings and a silverware basket, and the listed noise level is 55 dB.

The spec block has a few mix-ups: it lists 7 as the number of settings, which matches the cycle count rather than the 6 place settings in the title, and gives water consumption as 2.85 gph. Treat the 6 place settings and 7 cycles as the correct figures. The SPT SD-2224DS suits silver kitchens and anyone who wants the soak and party cycles.

• 7 cycles: heavy, normal, light, mini party, rinse, speed, soak
• Delay start 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours
• Stainless steel interior, 6 place settings

The SPT SD-2225DWA is a white Energy Star model from the SD-2225 generation. It holds up to 6 standard place settings and dishware up to 10.25 inches in diameter, and stands 17.24 inches tall to fit between most counters and cabinets. The cycle list includes heavy, normal, ECO, glass, speed and rinse.

The description confirms an automatic detergent and rinse-aid dispenser and quick connect to most kitchen faucets. It also gives a practical detail: the dishwasher needs 31.8 inches of depth with the door fully open, so measure your counter before buying. The listing gives dimensions of about 20 by 22 by 18 inches, a package weight of 58 pounds and 55 dB of noise.

The SPT SD-2225DWA suits white kitchens and anyone who wants an ECO cycle and a dedicated glass cycle. It is the most clearly specified SD-2225 listing. If you prefer soak and mini party cycles, the SD-2224DW is the white alternative.

• 6 cycles incl. ECO and Glass
• Dishware up to 10.25 inches
• Needs 31.8 inches depth with door open

The SPT SD-2224DSB is another silver ENERGY STAR model in the SD-2224 family. It lists 7 wash cycles, delay start, an automatic detergent and rinse agent dispenser, water supply and rinse aid warning indicators, electronic controls with an LED display and a universal faucet adapter with Quick Connect.

The description matches the SD-2225 family text: 6 standard place settings, dishware up to 10.25 inches, 17.24 inches tall and 31.8 inches deep with the door open. The spec block lists touch controls, a stainless steel material and a weight of 58 pounds. It also lists “Normal” as the only cycle option, which contradicts the 7 cycles in the features, so rely on the features.

The SPT SD-2224DSB suits silver kitchens that want the SD-2224 cycle set. The listing does not name each of the 7 cycles, so if a specific cycle matters, the SD-2224DS lists them in full.

The SPT SD-2225DW is the white SD-2225 with Energy Star and 6 wash cycles: heavy, normal, ECO, glass, speed and rinse. Delay start runs two, four, six or eight hours, and the LED display shows remaining time or current state.

It shares the universal faucet adapter, Quick Connect, water supply and rinse aid indicators, automatic detergent and rinse-aid dispenser, 6 place settings and 17.24-inch height. The spec block shows a capacity of 1 quart and water consumption of 2.85 gpm, both obvious data errors for a dishwasher, and lists the noise level at 55 dB.

The SPT SD-2225DW suits white kitchens that want ECO and glass cycles. It overlaps almost entirely with the SD-2225DWA, which has cleaner specs and the 31.8-inch door-open note.

• 6 cycles incl. ECO and Glass
• Delay start 2 to 8 hours
• LED remaining-time display
