Understanding Albert Lee Dishwasher Prices
There’s nothing wrong with some old-fashioned elbow grease, but when it comes to washing dishes, doing it by hand has become obsolete—not to mention, it’s a water and energy hog. What’s more, modern dishwashers are more powerful than ever, although you get what you pay for. The good news is even entry-level dishwashers are a better option than handwashing, but if you have the money to splurge a little, you can find a high-performance dishwasher that will forever change how you clean your dishes.
That’s where we step in to help you determine which dishwasher models are worth your money. We’ve put together an extensive list of 10 Albert Lee dishwasher models ranging from affordable to luxurious in order to give you a clear idea of which brands fit your budget and cleaning needs.

In-Stock DishwashersUnderstanding Albert Lee Dishwasher Prices
You wouldn’t be wrong to think all dishwashers work the same way: a series of spray arms shoot pressurized water onto dishes, removing stuck-on food debris. That’s correct, but things start to change significantly when upgraded features, building materials, capacity, and design are added to the equation. Essentially, there are three dishwasher tiers shoppers can select from:
Entry-Level Dishwashers
If money is a concern, you’ll be glad to know that, on average, basic dishwasher models start at around $250. You’ll save a considerable amount of money on one of these dishwashing machines, but the tradeoffs are minimal dishwashing modes, cheaper materials (mainly a plastic tub), and limited design choices. A few familiar dishwasher brands that fall within this category include Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and Amana.
Mid-End Dishwashers
The next level up is where most homeowners shop since these dishwashers aren’t overly priced and include appealing features and styles. Brands like KitchenAid, LG, and Samsung often include more loading possibilities, notably a third dishwasher rack, superior tub materials, dish drying modes, and in some cases, they might even come with water softeners.
High-End Dishwashers
Pitching a luxury dishwasher might sound like an impossible feat but trust us—they’re worth it if you can afford one. For one, most high-end dishwasher brands come with panel-ready models that users can customize to fit in with the rest of their kitchen settings. The move up in class also guarantees some of the best dishwasher features on the market, from heated drying, Wi-Fi connectivity, maximum place settings, advanced spray jets, and more.
Major contenders in this class include Thermador, Miele, and Bosch, although the latter is also known for manufacturing some of the best dishwashers on the market at mid-end prices.
Now that we’ve clarified pricing, let’s look at the best Albert Lee dishwashers starting with the best of the best.
Miele Dishwashers
Without a doubt, the Miele dishwasher lineup is considered one of the best in the industry. For one, Miele dishwashing machines are extremely efficient, using just 1.5 gallons of water per wash, and they’re also quiet, with several models registering at just 38 decibels. Along with supreme engineering, Miele dishwasher users also get great features such as:
- IntenseZone: A powerful corner spray jet blasts through heavy-duty dish messes with ease.
- SensorDry Technology: Powerful receptors monitor water soil levels to determine the right wash temperature and duration for each load of dishes.
- QuickIntenseWash: This speedy dishwasher mode can finish most loads in under an hour.
Miele dishwashers aren’t cheap, with models ranging between $1,750 and $3,700, however, they are designed to last for 20 years’ of use. The good news is that when buy purchasing an Albert Lee Miele dishwasher, you get the best value in the area.
Recommended Miele Dishwasher: Miele 24" Clean Touch Steel Built In Dishwasher
Falling on the more affordable side of the Miele dishwasher lineup, this model is the perfect introduction to what you can expect from the rest of the brand’s high-end dish care collection. We give it high ratings for its powerful performance that includes the IntenseZone and QuickIntenseWash, a virtually silent 43 dBA noise rating, and tons of dish loading capacity with an adjustable third rack on the upper part of the interior.

ASKO Dishwashers
Another European native takes a spot at the top of our list of the best Albert Lee dishwashers, this time with the Scandinavian craftsmanship from ASKO. Similar to Miele, the ASKO dishwasher line is heavily tested for a minimum of two decades’ worth of use.
ASKO still might have a way to go to outdo Miele, but the brand is making major strides by providing the most dish loading capacity on the market, with several models offering 17 place settings and 16 place settings on all other makes. Additionally, each one comes with three dishwasher racks, while extra features include fan-assisted Turbo Drying and adjustable racks.
Buyers will be happy to know ASKO dishwashers are easier on the wallet, with dishwashers under $1,000 on the low end and up to $3,350 for its premium model.
Explore the ASKO Dishwasher Line
Recommended ASKO Dishwasher: ASKO 40 Series 24" Stainless Steel Built In Dishwasher
Load one, load all inside this high-capacity dishwasher with 16 place settings, an adjustable middle rack, and a third dishwasher rack—enough space for cookware, dinnerware, and utensils in a single wash. Another reason this dishwasher’s high review is for its diverse spray system that reaches dishes of all sizes. The Jet Sprays handle tall items such as carafes and sports bottles, the Wide Spray tackles bigger dishes, and the Power Zone Cutlery system reaches the nooks and crannies of small silverware for a complete wash no matter how you load.
Bosch Dishwashers
With prices ranging between $550 and $2,300, Bosch dishwashers technically come in models across all three price categories, but impressively, the line is still one of the best buyers can purchase. In fact, there’s an unofficial debate between Bosch vs. Miele dishwashers, which gives you an idea of the quality the brand offers.
The best Bosch dishwashers are from the 800 Series and Bosch Benchmark collections, but regardless of the line, you can count on an Albert Lee Bosch dishwasher to come with 485 quality checks and 18 noise-canceling features before hitting a showroom floor. Time and time again, we’re amazed when it comes to Bosch dishwasher performance too. Notable upgrades like PrecisionWash, which tailors wash time and water temperature according to soil levels, CrystalDry technology, which uses special minerals to dry dishes up to 60 percent better, and RackMatic, Bosch’s adjustable third rack that makes loading even easier.
With that said, Miele outperforms Bosch when it comes to longevity. On average, a Bosch dishwasher will last 10 years or half the lifespan of a higher-priced Miele model.
Recommended Bosch Dishwasher: Bosch 800 Series 24" Stainless Steel Built In Dishwasher
There’s a reason this Albert Lee Bosch 800 Series dishwasher is a best-seller, with more than 90 percent of buyers recommending it. Looking for a quiet dishwasher? This model checks that box with a 42-dBA noise rating. Want clean dishes every time? Buyers give top marks to its powerful performance with six programs and another six cleaning options for ultimate flexibility. Need a high-capacity dishwasher? Indulge in 16 place settings, plus a RackMatic upper dish tray with nine adjustable level settings to fix the bulkiest dishes.
Featured Bosch SHP878ZP5N dishwasher review: “This Bosch 800 Series Dishwasher seems to have all of the bells and whistles we expect, but is very quiet, uses much less energy than even washing dishes by hand, and the dishes and pans always come out great. We're glad we got it.”
KitchenAid Dishwashers
This brand is part of the unofficial trifecta of top dishwasher brands (along with Miele and Bosch) and what is considered the best mid-end dishwasher brand buyers can choose. Always the trendsetters, KitchenAid dishwashers are attractive, but users will appreciate that they are more than just beautiful installments in the kitchen.
You’ll get a lot of function out of a KitchenAid dishwashing machine, from the FreeFlex Third Rack with the largest loading capacity on the market of any class to advanced water filtration to fan-assisted heated drying. KitchenAid dishwashers start at $1,050, with premium models costing up to $2,050.
Recommended KitchenAid Dishwasher: KitchenAid® 24" PrintShield™ Stainless Steel Built In Dishwasher
Here’s another top-rated dishwasher, this time with an impressive 95 percent custom satisfaction rating with over 1,100 5-star reviews. A quick glance at what this model offers is all it takes to see why buyers love this dishwashing machine so much. Standouts include the FreeFlex Third Rack and Advanced Clean Water Wash System, as well as two fan-assisted heated drying options. We also give points to the Sani-Rinse option that effectively removes 99.999 percent of food bacteria on dishes.
Featured KitchenAid KDTM604KPS dishwasher review: “This dishwasher meets and exceeds my expectations! It is so quiet when running…make sure to consider this dishwasher in the ‘running’ when you are shopping for a dishwasher.”

Café Dishwashers
While this brand is GE’s newest addition to its family of products as of 2018, it’s become one of the more popular brands for affordable luxury appliances. Dishwashers from Café stand out for their unique designs that are fashion-forward, including popular finishes such as matte black or matte white. With that said, the series is still getting its feet off the ground, which means there are fewer models to select from starting at $1,200 up to $1,800.
Recommended Café Dishwasher: Café™ 24" Stainless Steel Built In Dishwasher
We recommend this dishwasher to buyers who want a stylish appliance with simple user features. All the basics are included, such as specialized jets that break down food messes and built-in drying for dishes that are ready for cupboard the first time. It also comes with adjustable tines, a middle rack, and a third rack, so you can use the entire 16 place settings to the max. Extra points were given for an ENERGY STAR rating and special Wash Zones that allow you to clean smaller loads without having to run the entire appliance.
Featured Café CDT805P2NS1 dishwasher review: “This is the nicest dishwasher I've ever owned! Feeling confident and excited to clean the massive amounts of dishes my family produces with my new dishwasher!”

GE Dishwashers
We’re transitioning from specialty dishwashers to dishwashing machines that focus on performance over style, starting with one of the most familiar brands: GE. In reality, three lines are available from this brand, starting with the core GE lineup, then GE Profile, and GE Professional. In this case, we’re focusing solely on the first collection, which features dishwashers priced from $400 to $1,000.
Unlike Miele, Café, or even KitchenAid dishwashers, GE dishwashing machines are less niche and more universal, appealing to households from small to large and kitchens from basic to specially designed. What you can count on are features, features, features. From the Piranha Hard Food Disposer that uses 3,600 RPMs to blitz food particles down to nothing to Dry Boost, Bottle Wash jets, and third racks, GE dishwashers are made with horsepower and value in mind.
Recommended GE Dishwasher: GE® 24" Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Built In Dishwasher
Buyers can save a lot with this affordable dishwasher that is loaded with upgrades that feel like a more expensive make. Overall, more than 8,300 buyers consider this a best-buy option and worthy of 5 stars when it comes to value. Like other pricier models on this list, this pick comes with 16 place settings, a third rack, middle rack adjustability, heated drying, and a dish sanitization mode. Not to mention its gorgeous fingerprint-resistant finish that fits right in with designer kitchens.
Featured GE GDP665SYNFS dishwasher review: “I was surprised and delighted to find a dishwasher with the features of this one at this price…I love it and highly recommend it.”

Samsung Dishwashers
If you only want to spend between $650 and $1,300 on a dishwasher, Samsung just might be the brand for you. What’s more, every model from this lineup is ENERGY STAR rated, meaning users can save even more on water and energy consumption. Sure, you get a maximum of 15 place settings versus 16 or even 17 on more expensive brands, and they tend to be noisier with most decibel ratings between 42 and 55 dBA—but that’s a small tradeoff.
In exchange, Samsung dishwashers offer considerable cleaning capabilities with one of the highest user ratings among other brands in the same class.
Recommended Samsung Dishwasher: Samsung 24" Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Top Control Built In Dishwasher
Arguably one of the sleekest dishwashers on this list is this Samsung model, designed with a flush front and top controls. This pick also comes in four stainless steel options to match a wider variety of kitchen aesthetics. However, the true stars of the show are the features you get for your money, including Zone Booster, a powerful jet for removing the toughest food messes, a Flexible 3rd rack, and Samsung’s exclusive Linear Wash System for full dish coverage.
Featured Samsung DW80R9950US dishwasher review: “Great smart dishwasher. With all the features of regular plus smart features make this dishwasher preferred.”

LG Dishwashers
An alternative to Samsung dishwashers is the LG dishwashing machine line, which surprisingly matches the Bosch dishwasher series when it comes to customer satisfaction. The biggest difference between other brands and LG dishwashers is the exclusive QuadWash spray system. Rather than two jet spray arms, these models use four nozzles and arms for even more water coverage. LG dishwashers are affordably priced between $800 and $1,300.
Recommended LG Dishwasher: LG 24" PrintProof™ Stainless Steel Built In Dishwasher
Looking for a dishwasher under $900? Consider this LG pick, which comes with everything for dish demands from standard to heavy-duty. Load this appliance up to experience the QuadWash results inside 15 place settings, including 3rd Rack and an EasyRack Plus to hold dinnerware of all sizes. If savings are important to you, rest easy knowing this ENERGY STAR dishwasher also uses minimal water and energy consumption.
Featured LG LDFN4542S dishwasher review: “The quad cleaning heads do a much better job in cleaning than the Bosch dishwasher it replaced.”
Beko Dishwashers
Beko dishwashers are big on energy efficiency, so if your goal is a green home, we recommend the brand. In fact, several models have been awarded an ENERGY STAR Most Efficient rating. In terms of capacity, Beko offers a few options from 14 to 16 place settings suitable for all household sizes.
Recommended Beko Dishwasher: Beko 24" Fingerprint-Free Stainless Steel Built In Dishwasher
Whether you’re downsizing or looking for an affordable dishwasher with standout performance, this Beko dishwashing machine is worth the consideration. Overall, this is a simpler appliance with the essential dishwashing features, but with nearly 9/10 buyers recommending it, it’s safe to say it does the job more than well.
