How to choose a dishwasher ? Compare and rank before you choose.
The dishwasher works by spraying very hot water, usually between 55 and 75 degrees, at your plates and dishes. This is combined with a specially designed soap to ensure that your dishes get as clean as possible. Most modern dishwashers, if working properly and looked after correctly, will give you shiny kitchen utensils without stains, watermarks and dirt. Compared to hand washing the dishwasher produces more sparkling and disinfected dishes as well as saving you time and effort.
History of the dishwasher
There is a much longer and more interesting history to the dishwasher than you might think. Dishwashers were in fact invented in the middle of the nineteenth-century. The mechanical dish washing machines used then however, were far removed and almost unrecognisable from the models you’ll find in homes and businesses today. It wasn’t until the 1950s that dishwashers started to be found in more wealthy homes, and by the 1970s they had become commonplace in the average household. Many of the latest dishwashers are senor controlled and actually respond to how dirty your dishes are to ensure the best clean with the lowest wasted energy. The modern dishwasher has a huge number of features that the older models did not have, and these will be discussed below when we compare individual brands.
Dishwashers and the environment
There are some who think that dishwashers are a detriment to the environment but this is in fact difficult to sustain and there are still discussions over whether dishwashers or hand washing are more environmentally friendly. Hand washing techniques vary hugely from one individual to another and the energy used depends on the amount of water wasted, the temperature of water and other personal factors. Some of the more modern eco-friendly dishwashers may be just as environmentally friendly as washing the dishes by hand.
