3 tips to consider before buying a dishwasher
Dishwashers often come in 2 different sizes: standard or compact. A standard ones are 24x24 inches (or 60x60cm) and are suitable for more than 3 people in a household. Compact dishwashers are suitable for 2-3 people.
Looking for a dishwasher but not sure which type to go for? Here are some options:
- If you're on a budget or have a small household, a countertop dishwasher might be perfect for you. While the capacity is small, it can be a great help. Check compatibility with your mixer/bench dishwasher outlet before buying, or buy a variant that can be manually filled with water.
- If you rent your home, a dishwasher might seem expensive. That's where a portable dishwasher comes in. It's a great option because you can take it with you when you move.
- If you own your home, a built-in dishwasher is a fantastic investment.
To save money on your electricity bill, look for models labelled as energy-efficient/environmentally friendly. It's also a good idea to check out comparison sites to see how different models stack up.
Another way to save electricity is by choosing a dishwasher with a delay function. This allows you to time your washes to when electricity is cheapest. Plus, many dishwashers have quick and eco programmes that let you choose the right wash for the time of day.
