Key Features to Look For
Adjustable Racks
Look for dishwashers with height-adjustable upper racks that can be raised or lowered to accommodate taller items in either rack. The best models offer easy adjustment even when the rack is fully loaded, allowing you to reconfigure your dishwasher as needed for different loads.
Specialized Wash Programs
Premium dishwashers offer specialized programs beyond the basic options. Look for features like intensive modes for pots and pans, delicate cycles for glassware, eco settings for energy savings, and quick wash options when you need clean dishes in a hurry.
Sensor Washing
Advanced models feature sensors that detect the soil level of your dishes and adjust the cycle accordingly. This smart technology optimizes water usage, temperature, and duration based on how dirty your dishes are, improving both cleaning results and efficiency.
Noise Level
Measured in decibels (dB), lower numbers indicate quieter operation. Modern dishwashers range from 39dB (whisper quiet) to 50dB (normal conversation). This feature is particularly important for open-plan kitchens or if you run your dishwasher overnight.
Drying Technology
Different dishwashers use various drying methods. Look for models with condensation drying, heat exchangers, or automatic door opening features for optimal results. These technologies help ensure your dishes come out completely dry without the need for towel drying.
Child Safety Features
Important for households with young children, safety features may include control locks to prevent settings from being changed during a cycle, door locks to prevent mid-cycle opening, and leak protection systems to detect and prevent water damage.
Delay Start Function
This convenient feature allows you to program your dishwasher to start at a specified later time. It's perfect for running cycles during off-peak electricity hours, ensuring dishes are freshly cleaned when you need them, or running the dishwasher when you're away from home.
Smart Connectivity
Modern dishwashers may offer Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control via smartphone apps. These smart features allow you to monitor cycle progress, receive notifications when cycles complete, download new programs, and troubleshoot potential issues before they become problems.
Cost and Energy Efficiency
Running Costs
Based on current data, annual running costs for full size dishwashers can range from approximately £50 for the most efficient models to nearly £100 for less efficient ones. Consider these ongoing costs alongside the purchase price for a more accurate picture of your total investment over the appliance's lifespan.
Energy Ratings
Dishwashers are rated from A to G on the new energy scale, with A being the most efficient. An A-rated model typically uses around 50% less energy than a D-rated equivalent. While more efficient models often cost more initially, they can save significant money over their lifetime through reduced energy bills.
Water Consumption
Modern dishwashers typically use between 9-12 liters of water per cycle, significantly less than washing by hand. Some eco-models use as little as 6.5 liters per cycle. When comparing models, look for the annual water consumption figure in the specifications to understand the long-term environmental and cost impact.
Eco Programs
Most dishwashers feature eco or energy-saving programs that use lower temperatures and longer cycle times to reduce energy consumption. While these cycles take longer to complete, they can reduce energy usage by up to 30% compared to standard programs, making them ideal for overnight washing when time isn't a constraint.
