Must-Know Factors When Buying a Dishwasher
Like any product, there are certain factors everyone should consider when buying a dishwasher.
Washing and Drying Performance
You guessed it. A dishwasher must wash effectively, and dry your dishes so they can be put away. Let’s face it, a fancy dishwasher with all the latest tech innovations doesn’t mean much if it doesn’t clean dishes.
When it comes to washing, it’s vital to have enough wash cycles and options to cover all kinds of soiling types and levels. A quick wash cycle is an excellent advantage, particularly since most energy-efficient cycles these days can last as long as two hours. Sensor Wash is also a major plus, giving you the option to automatically adjust wash duration based on soil levels and the number of dishes. You’ll also want to select a dishwasher with quality nozzles and spray arrangements to ensure quality care.
Meanwhile, drying effectiveness is just as vital. There are two main drying techniques. The first uses a heating element to heat up and evaporate moisture on the dishes. This method comes with two major downsides which are melted plastics and baked on food residue in case the machine fails to clean food residue. The second, and most effective drying method is condensation drying. This method cools down stainless steel walls surrounding the dishes to pull moisture away and onto the walls. European manufacturers such as Bosch and Miele perfected this technique.
Other helpful drying features include auto-opening doors (used by Miele for the past several years) at the end of cycles and integrated fans that help reduce moisture after cycles.
Most recently Bosch released two product lines that incorporate the following:
- AutoAir dry which opens the door of the dishwasher when the cycle ends to enhance drying.
- CrystalDry which introduces a final, gentle heat cycle which removes any and all remining moisture from the tub.
Quietness
As we mentioned, modern era dishwashers have longer wash cycles. This is mainly because Energy Star system standards require fewer amounts of water and energy usage. For all these extra washing hours, we don't want to experience machine noise during dinner. Consequently, the noise level is a vitally important consideration for your comfort. Today, noise levels of dishwashers range between 38 dB to slightly above 60 dB. Keep in mind, anything below 50 dB is good and below 45 dB is super. By the way, dB is shorthand for decibels—a unit of measurement that applies to sound level. As an example, a whisper is around 30 dB, a library is 40 dB, light traffic noise is 50 db, and a regular conversation tops out at about 60 dB.

Design
First and foremost, the interior design of the dishwasher and its flexibility are vitally important. Features like 3rd racks make washing easier, more convenient, and more effective. Third racks create more options for your thin dishes and valuable silverware, and may producers use movable tines and height adjustments in the lower racks as well.
Foldable tines, adjustable height racks with smooth movement, and well-placed silverware jets are all useful features that make washing thorough and putting away silverware much easier. Don’t forget; a stainless-steel tub, with a longer life and better soundproofing, is a much better choice than a plastic tub. Finally, you want to have a beautiful machine on the exterior, too. Manufacturers are now producing a wide range of visual designs and finishes, from stainless steel and black stainless steel to fingerprint-resistant designs and everything in-between.
Reliability
Even the best-looking, most powerful dishwasher doesn’t mean much if it’s going to break down months after arriving in your home — reliability matters. It’s particularly important to consider that not all brands have a flawless track record—even from model to model. Some of the most dependable brands include Miele, Bosch, and Whirlpool. You can almost always count on them to provide a product that will last in your kitchen.
