Features to Look For in a Dishwasher

Dishwashers are a must-have for any modern kitchen. They save you the cost and effort of elbow grease, and a typical dishwasher uses about six times less water than hand washing.

But a good dishwasher does more than just wash your dishes; it has to dry them effectively too. A dishwasher that leaves your dishes still soaking can be frustrating and time-consuming to deal with.

That’s why it’s important to check out the dish drying performance of a dishwasher before you buy. Look for models that open the door at the end of a cycle to allow moist, hot air out and fresh, cool air in so your dishes can dry faster.

Look for adjustable racks that let you alter their positioning to make better use of the interior space. This makes it easier to fit tall items like wine glasses and large plates on upper or lower racks. Also, some models have anti-nesting grids that help to keep cutlery from bunching together in the baskets.

Soil sensors are becoming standard on many new dishwashers. They adjust the cycle duration and temperature based on how soiled your dishes are, which can improve efficiency and conserve energy and water.

For added convenience, consider a model that lets you control your dishwasher from your smartphone or digital personal assistants like Alexa or Google Home. You can set cycles and custom options, as well as get feedback on performance and general dishwasher maintenance.
