5 Tips for Choosing a Dishwasher

Ken Humphrey has come up with 5 great tips for choosing a dishwasher – and he should know – he’s Brand Manager for Bosch who make some of the most advanced dishwashers available: Flexible baskets make a huge difference. Features like foldable plate racks, long stemmed glass holders and dividable cutlery baskets are all things to look out for. The more flexible the baskets are, the more pots and pans you can fit in, the less you have to wash up! Bosch even offer a special baking tray spray so nothing need be left out. Choose a model with a fully automatic washing programme. This means that the dishwasher will choose the right programme cycle and temperature for the load, ensuring optimum results. Research shows that customers are often disappointed with the washing results they get and this is because they’re choosing the wrong programme for the load. A half load option or upper basket only wash is a useful feature. Great if you haven’t got enough for a full load, it uses less water and is the perfect solution for after breakfast or a light lunch. If you’re always in a hurry, Quick Wash is a feature to look out for. On a Bosch model this option returns your crockery beautifully washed in just under half an hour. If you haven’t got a dishwasher, get one! An average family spends 1 – 2 hours a day washing up. A dishwasher only takes 15 minutes to load and takes up much less water and energy than washing up by hand.
