WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A DISHWASHER
Choosing the right type of dishwasher for your kitchen can be easier when you know what to look for. Consider key factors like loading capacity, cycle options, noise level, control placement, warranty and more. Use the information below to help you zero in on the features that matter most to you.
1. DISHWASHER STYLE AND INSTALLATION
Choose between a built-in or portable dishwasher. Built-in models fit under the counter and are common in most kitchens. If your kitchen’s layout can’t accommodate a built-in model, a portable model that hooks up to the sink and rolls away when not in use might be a better fit. Also consider the handle style (bar or pocket) and control placement (top or front).
2. SIZE AND LOADING CAPACITY
The right dishwasher for your kitchen should fit your cabinet cutout without sticking out too far. While size in cubic feet gives a rough idea of capacity, also look at how many place settings it can hold, how the racks and tines are arranged, and how flexible the layout is for loading.
3. FILTRATION SYSTEMS
Dishwashers typically filter food debris using a hard food disposer, a filtration system or, in some cases, both. Hard food disposers disintegrate and get rid of food particles using a chopper, while a filtration system traps food at the bottom of the dishwasher and requires manual cleaning.
4. CYCLES AND SETTINGS
Some dishwashers offer simple, no-frills settings, while others include specialized wash and dry cycles you can customize by load type. Look for features your family will use often to help you get the most value without paying for extras that may sit idle.
5. SOUND LEVEL
A noisy dishwasher can disrupt daily life, especially in open living spaces. A dishwasher’s dBA rating can clue you in on how quietly it operates, with lower numbers meaning quieter operation. Most models range from 40 to 60 dBA, but anything over 55 dBA may be loud enough to interrupt conversation.
6. COLOR AND FINISH
Adding a new dishwasher to a kitchen appliance suite means considering whether colors like white, black or stainless steel, or customizable, panel-ready models best complement your space. Plus, consider appliances with finishes like the easy-to-clean, Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel finish from Maytag brand that resists smudges and streaks to keep your dishwasher looking as good on the outside as it works on the inside.
7. WARRANTY
Peace of mind is valuable. Make the most of your investment by considering the warranty available by the dishwasher’s manufacturer. For instance, Maytag brand offers a 10-Year Limited Parts Warranty on the racks, chopper blade and stainless steel tub of most dishwashers.1
8. PRICE
Shopping at the right time of year—or with retailers offering unique discounts—can help you find a dishwasher that fits within your budget. For example, Maytag brand offers professional discounts and year-round appliance sales to help you find the right fit for your kitchen and wallet.
