Product Information

Auto wash: sensors that can detect how clean or dirty the water is and adjust the wash cycle accordingly. Hygiene: Best for items that need sterilising, such as baby products or chopping boards. This program will wash at a high temperature.

Eco: Best for lightly soiled plates and cutlery, economy cycles take longer to complete but uses less water than other ones. The water is still hot too, at between 50 and 55C.Fold-down tines: Tines are the prongs that keep your dishes upright and spaced out. Look for ones that fold down flat if you often need room for larger items.

Andy Trigg, director of whitegoodshelp.co.uk with 44 years in the white goods and domestic appliance industry, shares his recommendations of features to look out for when buying a new dishwasher. Place settings: this should be prominently mentioned in the dishwasher’s specs. Capacities range from 12 place settings up to 16 on a full-size dishwasher. The place settings calculation should be around 10 items per person, including cutlery. With minimal settings, dishwashers are generally simple to use. Normal, eco and intensive cycles come as standard, but it’s worth knowing the specific purpose of each to optimise your dishwasher’s cleaning potential:Hot fill option: some dishwashers can be connected to the hot water supply instead of cold. This may or may not be something that you are aware of as a possibility. Dishwashers are normally plumbed in with only a cold water supply, so if you wanted to use hot water instead you would need to have extra plumbing fitted.

Now you know what cycles you’d like access to, it’s time to decide which additional features you want. Here are the ones we’d consider: Automatic open -door drying: The door automatically opens at the end of a cycle to allow fresh air in and moist air out. Salt and rinse aid indicators: These alerts tell you when it’s time to top up dishwasher salt and rinse aid – both essential for successful cleans. Sensor wash: Found on dishwashers with built-in sensors, the program time, temperature and amount of water will adjust according to how dirty the dishes are. Design features to look for We sell a wide range of dishwashers from several leading brand names including Bosch, Blomberg, and Hoover. Full-Size DishwashersIf you want a dishwasher that fits the design of your kitchen, go for an integrated model. This will be installed within a kitchen unit and have a door that matches your cupboards. Generally, the control panel is hidden on the top lip of the door. Energy efficiency Note that which cycle you use at home will impact your machine’s energy consumption too; while an eco wash runs for a long time, it uses much less water than a standard or intensive wash, and therefore requires less energy to heat up. Normal: Best for daily use, this cycle removes standard dirt and food stains using water that’s around 60 to 65C.
