We know, the worst thing about cleaning up after every meal is the pile of dishes waiting for you in the sink. However, with the right dishwasher, you can get the powerful clean you want for every dish. So, if you’re tired of washing dishes by hand and want to free up your days, it’s time to buy a built in dishwasher. Let’s talk about a few things you’ll need to consider before you make your dishwasher purchase.
Shop By Brands
Whether you’re upgrading your machine or elevating your kitchen with luxury appliances, the brand name is your top consideration. But with so many brands to choose from, it’s difficult to decide, so we’ve listed some of our favorites:
- A GE built in dishwasher flaunts the latest high-end features and comes in tall tub configurations.
- A Bosch built in dishwasher leads the way in quiet operation, so you can run a load anytime. See how Bosch dishwashers compare to Miele in our guide.
- A Whirlpool built in dishwasher provides impressive drying technology, giving you spot-free dishes every time.
- A Frigidaire built in dishwasher has excellent load efficiency and is easy on your budget, too.
- A KitchenAid built in dishwasher has roomy third racks that optimize your washing space.
Shop By Sizes
Before you buy a built in dishwasher, you have to choose the right size. Keep in mind that most built in dishwashers are designed to fit underneath 24-in deep counters.
- For compact kitchens, an 18 inch built in dishwasher fits 8 to 10 place settings per load, which is ideal for households with 2 to 3 people.
- For larger families, a 24 inch built in dishwasher washes 12 to 16 place settings per load, and is designed to fit standard undercabinet spaces.
- For custom cabinetry, look for a 25 inch built in dishwasher or larger to suit your kitchen design.
Shop by Style, Color, & Features
Of course, how your dishwasher looks in your kitchen is another thing to consider. Are you going for a sleek, pro-style kitchen, or a classic, modern look? Or maybe bold is more your thing. No matter which look you’re going for, we have the finish that matches your sense of style:
- Go bold and make a stylish statement with a black built in dishwasher.
- Create the modern kitchen steeped in old-school vibes with a white built in dishwasher.
- Round out the professional setup in your kitchen with a stainless steel built in dishwasher.
For features, look for wash cycles like quick wash, steam clean, and delicate wash. Or read jhow the sanitize cycle works with our guide. And check out adjustable racks, multiple spray jets, and quiet operation for the ultimate convenience.
