"We are so proud to introduce this connected appliance into our portfolio, which is designed to make kitchen cleanup as simple as possible." "Works with Alexa" is the star of the show.

The SHARP SDW6767HS goes beyond Start & Stop; most cycles and settings can be enabled with simple voice commands. Not sure which mode is on? Just ask Alexa, "Alexa, what is the dishwasher mode?" You can set the delay, Wash Zone, and even check how much time is left, just by asking Alexa. Smart Home set-up is a snap. There are three different ways to connect your dishwasher with the Amazon Alexa app: With a Barcode, Without a Barcode, or if you made your purchase on Amazon.com, Zero Touch Setup. Zero Touch Setup means your SHARP Smart Dishwasher will arrive configured with your home network settings you have saved in your Amazon Alexa account.
