When you choose appliances for your home, it can be difficult to know what to look for beyond a size that fits in your space and a color that matches your decor. When you choose an appliance like a dishwasher for your home, think about your family's long-term needs and about what makes the unit easy to use. Here are some examples to help you choose the best dishwasher for the price.

Dishwasher Features for Convenience & Savings

1. Energy Efficiency

The more efficient your dishwasher, the less money you'll spend each time you run it--not to mention that you're protecting the environment by cutting down on electricity and water use. Look for an EnergyStar label on the appliances you're considering. You should also look for a unit that has multiple wash cycle options, so you can avoid using a more powerful cycle than needed.

2. Noise Canceling Features

An older dishwasher is one of the noisiest appliances in the home, but many modern ones run quietly enough that you may not be able to hear them outside the kitchen. This information should be available on the product's label or int he manual. A small difference in decibel ratings makes a large difference in practice; just one decibel of difference can mean 30% more noise.

3. Self-Cleaning Options

The larger your family and the more dishes you go through, the more quickly your dishwasher will accumulate food debris. A self-cleaning option helps ensure this food waste doesn't clog your washer’s filter. It will also save you time during your busy day.
