In a world where technology impacts almost every industry, dishwashers have not been exempt from technological advances. If your dishwasher just isn’t cutting it anymore and leaves your dishes almost as dirty as when you put them in, it may be time for a new one. Here are some features to consider when you are out shopping for a new dishwasher.

Have you every struggled to fit all the dinner dishes into a full dishwasher? Many dishwashers now come with three racks instead of just two in order to optimize interior space. While many homeowners are concerned that this type of dishwasher will be larger and need a bigger space in the kitchen, this is not the case. A dishwasher with three racks instead of two will still fit in the same space of a standard sized model.

Opening up a dishwasher only to find that the plates and cups are still dirty hours after you thought you started it can be frustrating. One feature that will prevent this from happening is called a “delayed start” setting. This will allow you to have the dishwasher come on at a scheduled time and save you from wondering whether or not you ever turned on the dishwasher before you left for work.

Chances are, you are always on the search for ways to cut down how much water you use in your Hickory, Granite Falls, Bethlehem, or Newton, North Carolina home.
