Built-in dishwasher Vs. Free standing
The choice of free standing or built*in dishwashers mostly depends on your kitchen design. If space permits, built-in dishwashers take precedence with more benefits.
Free standing Dishwashers
Free standing dishwasher can be placed almost anywhere flat and bearable in the kitchen, with relatively easy installation. As long as it is plugged into the power supply and connected with water supply, it can be used and displaced easily. In addition, free standing dishwasher may be a good choice in a renting house because it will be easier to install and remove. It’s better to put the dishwasher as close as possible to the tank to keep the pipe unblocked.
Built-in Dishwashers
Fully integrated and semi-integrated dishwashers will be fixed in custom cabinets, among which the embedded dishwasher will be fully integrated into the cabinet, while the semi-integrated one still retains the control panel visible. In addition to beauty, built-in dishwasher have a lower noise level.
Size of dishwasher
Dishwashers have a variety of sizes and capacities. Most importantly, you need to figure out the exact size of your space, including exact numbers of the width, height, and length, to make sure that you choose the right dishwasher. The standard size of the dishwasher is 60 cm wide, which is often referred to as a full-size dishwasher with a capacity between 12 and 14 place settings. The slim dishwasher is 45 cm wide with a capacity of 9 to 10 place settings.
The general dishwasher has a capacity of 6 to 14 place settings. You can estimate based on the number of your family members:
| Number of family members |
Number of place settings |
| 1-2 |
6-9 |
| 2-4 |
9-12 |
| 4 or above |
>12 |
With sufficient budget and kitchen space, we recommend that you choose the dishwasher with a little larger capacity to cope with more guests at home. As many large-capacity dishwashers have the half-loaded washing function for fewer dishes.
Special functions
The function and efficiency of the dishwasher varies by brand and model, and we will list some noteworthy things:
Wash cycle option
Most dishwashers include at least 3 wash cycle options, that is, normal, mild and severe wash cycles. And some models will have more professional options, such as high temperature care function (which can be used to wash baby bottles) or quick wash cycle (which can be used to wash dishes with less dirt quickly).
More wash cycles must bring a better cleaning effect, wasting more water and electricity, however. A lot of customers only use the same washing cycle option because a lot of options make people confused. However, the dishwasher with intelligent induction technology has just solved this problem, because it will automatically meet different wash needs for improved wash efficiency.
Dish-drying
Some advanced dishwashers have drying function, so you can immediately put dishes from the dishwasher back the cupboard after washing and drying. However, most of the drying work will use extra energy. However, some dishwashers will use the waste heat in the fuselage cavity for evaporation of water vapor. Therefore, you can just open some gap of the dishwasher and wait about 15 to 25 minutes for drying after washing.
Filter and food handling
Most dishwashers can rinse food residue on dishes before the start of the wash cycle, so that we do not need to rinse it in the sink. But, you will need to regularly clean the filter in the dishwasher, or the accumulation of food will lead to a bad smell. Some high-end dishwashers have a self-cleaning filter system, which can make us relaxed with a better effect.
Electronic delay function
Intelligent dishwasher allows you to set the wash - start time automatically, so that you can set the dishwasher to work automatically when you go out or sleep at night without noise disturbing you. After starting the program, the exact countdown time will be displayed to manage housework easily.
Recommendation
Bosch
Bosch is one of the best brands of dishwashers due to stylish appearance as well as energy-saving and environmental technology, with a unique AquaSensor function, which can determine the amount of water based on dish type and dirty degree, use light beams to manage the rinse process, and judge whether to wash again depending on the food residue, grease or cleaning agent in an environmental and efficient way. In addition, Bosch can be ensured no rust inside and outside for 10 years, which applies to the purchased Bosch dishwasher in BBE.
