Which Are The Best Dishwashers?  by: Dan Tardio There are plenty of dishwashers on the market. In fact so many that choosing one could be a bit overwhelming? So which are the best dishwashers? The answer to that question is simpler than you might have imagined. The best dishwasher is the one that has the features, size, and warranty that you are looking for. So whether you are in the market for one of the more pricey stainless dishwashers or whether you are looking for economy consider this: 1. Capacity Do you want the standard 24" size or the compact 18" size? An 18" is a good choice for a household with 2 or 3 people in it. It will hold 8 place settings. A 24" which is standard dishwasher size will hold 14 place settings. 2. Type Will that be portable, built in, or a counter top models. There is a dishwasher for every kitchen size. The countertop style works great in close quarters and a portable is a smart option if you are renting. 3. Energy These days we are all much more energy conscious and so besides what the government dictates consumers are dictating that it's important for the dishwasher to conserve water and electricity. 4. Washing Cycles Dishwashers usually have several cycles and cycle combinations which may include Normal, Light, Pots & Pans, Econo, and Rinse Only. Some cycles work better for glassware while others work better for greasy dishes. Make sure the dishwasher you choose has the cycles you will want to use most often. 5. Performance How well your dishwasher performs depends on the washing cycle structure, the type of detergent used, and the rinse. The overall performance will be determined by a host of factors including the wash cycle, the load on the dishwasher, and what's being washed. 6. Stacking Check the design structure inside the dishwasher. The rack layout makes a huge difference on how many dishes you can fit inside. Some will also have special features like a cutlery tray in the door. Some will have a special wine glass rack. This is the place you get to save space with the right layout. 7. Maker There are plenty of great manufacturers to choose from. If you have a favorite go with it. Not sure? Then do a little research and see who's reputation is the best and who's getting noticed for a superior product. Whirlpool is world known but it isn't the only great manufacturer so do your research. 8. Budget Start by setting your budget. When it comes to dishwashers you can spend anywhere form a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand. At the end of the day they all wash your dishes clean. The difference is in how they accomplish this and what additional features they offer. So set your budget and stick to it.
