Looking to purchase a new dishwasher?  It can be difficult to decide which model is best for the needs of your household.  While our experienced plumbing technicians can make the installation process simple, we want to offer a few tips on what you should pay attention to when purchasing your new appliance too.

Here are a few things to consider when buying a new dishwasher:

• Cost – Keep your budget in mind.  You don’t want to waste time looking at models that are out of your price range.
• New Technologies – Advancements in dishwashers have allowed for significant improvements in energy and water efficiency.  Choosing a model with an Energy Star rating can save you money on your monthly utility bills.
• Style – There are lots of different types of dishwashers that you can choose from.  Pick a style that works for your kitchen.  Decide whether you want a standalone dishwasher or one that is built into your furniture.
• Capacity – What are you going to be using your dishwasher for the most?  Consider the types of washing options available.  Many dishwashers offer normal, delicate, pots & pans, quick wash and eco wash settings. 
• Noise –Built in dishwashers will make less noise than portable or freestanding options.  Check the ratings.  Some dishwashers are virtually silent with a rating of 38 decibels.  As a point of reference, a conversation between two people would have a rating of 60 decibels.
