Types of Dishwashers
The best dishwasher style for you depends on your kitchen setup and how permanent you want the installation to be. Don’t know where to get started? Browse the most common kinds of dishwasher designs below to narrow down your search.
Freestanding Dishwashers
If you want an appliance that does the job without any fuss around installation, a freestanding dishwasher is where most people start. It sits in a standard kitchen niche or recess and can stand on its own if needed, making it easy to take with you if you move.
Built-In Dishwashers
A built-in dishwasher is designed to live under your benchtop permanently, sitting flush with the surrounding cabinetry rather than slotting in. It is a tidier finish than freestanding and suits homeowners who want everything to look deliberate and considered.
Integrated Dishwashers
A fully integrated dishwasher takes things a step further by hiding behind a cabinet panel that matches the rest of your kitchen. No visible control panel on the front. No appliance breaking up the look of your cabinetry. It’s a great choice for anyone who has invested in their kitchen design and wants it to stay that way.
Drawer Dishwashers
Rather than a single door that drops down, a drawer dishwasher pulls out like a kitchen drawer. It is a more comfortable way to load and unload, particularly if bending down to a full-size door is an issue. The double drawer lets you run each side independently, which is useful for smaller households with lighter loads.
Key Dishwasher Features to Look For
Dishwashers have come a long way from a basic wash and dry. Here are some of the features worth paying attention to when browsing the dishwasher range at Stan Cash:
- Auto door release at the end of a cycle, so moisture escapes and dishes dry naturally without extra energy
- Sensor-controlled cycles that read the load and adjust water use accordingly, rather than running a fixed program
- Half load or zone wash settings that let you run just the top or bottom rack when you do not have a full machine
- Delay start for running a cycle at a time that suits you
- Steam and hygiene programs that go beyond a standard wash for things like baby bottles or cutting boards
- Adjustable upper racks that move to fit taller items like wine glasses or mixing bowls
- Wi-Fi connectivity on selected models, so you can monitor and control a cycle from your phone
- Low decibel ratings on premium models that make them genuinely unnoticeable in open-plan kitchens
How to Choose a Dishwasher
Looking for the best dishwasher for your kitchen? Choosing the right one can feel overwhelming with many styles and features to consider. Here’s what’s worth thinking about before you buy:
Capacity & Place Settings
Place settings refer to the number of complete dish sets a dishwasher can hold, with each setting including a dinner plate, bowl, glass and full cutlery set for one person. As a rough guide, a household of two can manage well on 14 place settings, while families will get more value from 15 or more. If you cook a lot or regularly use large pots and trays, it is worth sizing up your dishwasher to accommodate for this.
Dishwasher Size
A 60cm dishwasher is the standard width for most Australian kitchens, fitting comfortably into a standard cabinetry gap. It typically handles 14 to 15 place settings. Shopping for a small dishwasher? A 45cm dishwasher model is a narrower option that suits smaller kitchens and households that do not generate a lot of washing each day. Taller dishwasher models at 82cm or 86cm offer a larger internal capacity, fitting up to 16 place settings in a single load.
Energy & Water Efficiency
All dishwashers in Australia carry Energy Star and WELS water ratings. More stars mean lower running costs over time. For a dishwasher that gets used daily, this is worth factoring into your decision beyond just the upfront price.
Noise Level
Dishwasher noise is measured in decibels. Anything under 45dB is considered quiet and will not compete with conversation or your television. This is worth checking if your kitchen opens onto a living area or if you tend to run the machine in the evening.
Colours & Finishes
Stainless steel is the most common dishwasher finish and looks great in most kitchens. Dark stainless and black stainless dishwashers add a more contemporary edge for anyone after something a little bolder. White dishwashers are a clean, classic option that works well in lighter kitchens and a matte black dishwasher is perfect for those who want a more distinctive finish that stands out from the standard appliance look.
