The search for the perfect dishwasher is unique for everyone. In this video,
we'll give the top 4 dishwasher picks you should consider across all price points in 2023. So
whether you're seeking a budget-friendly and efficient option or aiming to get a WiFi-enabled,
whisper-quiet dishwasher with every feature imaginable, we've got you covered.
Hi, I’m John with Designer Appliances, NJ and NY's premier appliance showroom. Purchasing a
dishwasher can be a big undertaking, and I’m here to help make it easier. You can
expect that same level of expertise when you visit one of our showrooms.
In 2023, the best dishwasher is no longer just about availability. With inventory almost back
to pre-pandemic levels, you can now find top-rated models from well-respected brands.
This year we’ve changed our recommendations a bit. The most affordable option on our list comes
in at just under $1000, which may seem a bit steep if you don't purchase a dishwasher regularly.
In the past, we might have included ultra-budget models to cater to every possible need. However,
those models often appear and feel cheap, underperform in cleaning and drying,
and are very noisey. For a dishwasher to earn our "best of" title, it must be something
we'd confidently recommend to one of our retail customers. So, those are the only options we'll
suggest for you. If you're a builder or landlord seeking a sub-$500 dishwasher, our picks might not
be suitable. But if you're a homeowner looking to make dishwashing less of a chore, keep watching.
Let’s jump right in with our best overall pick, the Bosch 800 Series, SHPM78Z55N.
Tired of puddles on your bowls and glasses? This 800 series dishwasher offers the best
drying technology available, featuring Bosch's CrystalDry. This advanced system naturally
transforms moisture into heat, leaving dishes bone dry. It's gentler and as effective as a
heating element while being energy efficient. The naturally occurring zeolite mineral used in the
process never needs replacement. Bosch is a german brand and known for pioneering quiet performance,
and this dishwasher doesn’t disappoint at an ultra-quiet 42 dB. It also has a delicate
setting glasses and china, WiFi connectivity, and a 3rd rack cutlery tray. Right now the 800 series
can be found for just under $1,300. If you're considering Bosch, this model is the top choice.
Next up is our best budget pick, the Bosch 300 Series SHE53B75UC dishwasher.
For a quality dishwasher under $1,000, consider Bosch's 300 series. Though
slightly noisier at 46 dB and lacking the superior drying and WiFi of the 800 series,
its wash system and third-rack cutlery tray make it a great choice for most people.
Now for the fun stuff: our favorite splurge-worthy,
high-end dishwasher. We really like the Miele G7566SCViSF.
This is the dishwasher I chose for my own home. At over $2,500 it’s not for everyone’s
budget which is why it didn’t make our “best overall” pick, but it’s built to last 20 years,
twice the industry average, making it worth the investment if you are gonna
be at your house for a while. Miele makes every single component of its dishwashers
in house including its professional, commercial grade pumps, which are the
most important part of any dishwasher. With Miele reliable is an understatement.
It features a sleek fingerprint resistant stainless steel panel but if that’s not
your style it’s available in a panel ready option where you can install your own custom
cabinetry panel to hide is behind. At 38 dB this machine is the quietest dishwasher on the market.
The second you open the dishwasher you can tell this dishwasher is at a whole
other level. The led lighting slowly ramps up to revel crystal clean wash results.
With the wash cycles you’ll find everything you could want including a pots & pans cycle
and a crystal & china setting. It also has a self clean feature which I try to
run monthly to keep the dishwasher fresh and a cycle for cleaning greasy vent hood filters.
Miele's patented AutoDos system uniquely dispenses the right detergent amount from
proprietary cartridges based on the soil level of your dishes, eliminating daily pod-loading.
Each $14 cartridge holds 20 loads, and while you can use your preferred detergent, Miele offers
a 6-month supply via rebate for trial which is sure to get you hooked on the convenience.
As with most european style dishwashers Miele utilizes condensation for drying and has an
auto open door to release excess moisture in the air after the cycle has completed.
Besides overall performance, where Miele really shines is the tactile experience.
Everything just feels well built. The basket configuration is also well thought out and
loading dishes is a breeze. These orange tabs around the basket indicate a movable area and
these stemware holders are soft and meant to carefully hold your finest crystal. Miele
invented the third rack cutlery tray that other manufacturers have started to copy,
and we still think their design is the best. Even the third rack is loaded with
options for flexibility. Overall Miele is our favorite dishwasher to load and unload.
Other unique features include a built-in water softener which is great for our customers near
our Montclair NJ showroom. Miele also has WiFi built into this dishwasher which lets you start
and stop the unit as well as check on how many cycles are left on your AutoDos cartridges.
You should have the budget, you really can’t go wrong with this dishwasher from Miele.
You might not have considered (or heard of) this convenience, but a drawer dishwasher is a great
alternative to a standard full-size dishwasher. Our pick is the $1,899 Fisher & Paykel DD24DCTX9N.
This "best of" category may seem misleading, as Fisher & Paykel is the sole manufacturer
of dishwasher drawers, making them the natural winner. They offer single and double drawer units,
with our top pick being the tall tub double drawer dishwasher. The tall tub
can accommodate larger items, but ensure a minimum 34" clearance under your counters.
Double drawer dishwashers provide flexibility,
as each drawer can run independently. This feature allows guilt-free small load washing
and helps avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink. They're also great for entertaining,
as one drawer can handle cocktail dishes while the other takes care of pots and pans,
eliminating the need for handwashing. For versatility, these dishwashers are hard to beat.
