Best Dishwasher in India with maximum features at a minimum price
Actually, we Indians are foodies by nature. We like preparing a variety of dishes to share with our loved ones and friends.
But cleaning these utensils after cooking often proves to be a big headache for us, especially when you do not have maids.
Friends, there is a permanent solution to this – a good dishwasher.
A dishwasher is one smart home appliance that automatically washes your dishes, saving you time, water, and effort. Compared to hand washing, the dishwasher cleans your dishes better because it uses hot water and detergent to remove dirt, grease, and bacteria.
Friends, it is a truth that not all dishwashers can be purchased and tested by running them. But in order to learn more about the features of various dishwasher manufacturers, our research team went to several stores and showrooms. Some of them we purchased, and the others we tried. In addition, we sought the opinions of our friends and acquaintances who had recently acquired dishwashers.
Finally, we developed a ranking of best dishwasher in india with the most practical features and the least amount of upkeep.

By the way, removable and adjustable racks are available in most dishwashers, but the thing to keep in mind is that you have to keep the utensils properly on these racks. If this is not done then the utensils will not be able to wash properly.
The power-off memory function means that if the power goes out while washing the dishes (and comes back on after a while), the dishwasher will start from the step it left off (at the time of the power failure).
With the half load function, you can save water but you will consume the same amount of time.
The off peak wash feature is like a timer i.e. you can turn it on at night and in the morning you get washed dishes.

The half-load feature is very useful as it comes in handy when you have to wash dishes more than once a day. One advantage of this is that it consumes less water but the time taken is the same as it takes in full load.
The advantage of the feature of delay start is that when you feel that the dishwasher should start after a few hours i.e. if you want it to start at night and you get washed fresh dishes in the morning, then this feature is useful for you.

As mentioned earlier, all dishwashers have a water softener feature. The special thing is that in this you get to see the feature of the triple rinse function.
Usually, other dishwashers have 2 rinses, but in this, the dishes are rinsed 3 times after washing. So your dishes get washed more cleanly.
In Hygiene / Intense Wash, utensils are washed with steam wash which is a very good thing. Although you get a cutlery basket in all dishwashers currently available in the market, some models do not have it. That’s why this attachment is a good thing.

Buying Guide – Best Dishwasher in India
How many place settings should a dishwasher take?
It depends on your family size. If you have 3-4 members in your family then you should choose one with 8 place settings and if your family has 5-6 members then you should take a dishwasher with 12 or more place settings.
| Number of family members | Dishwasher should have |
| 3 to 4 | 8 Place settings |
| 5 to 6 | 12 Place settings |
Salt, Rins Kit, Soap
When using a dishwasher, you have to add salt, a rinse kit, and soap (or liquid or tablet) to it. The thing to remember is that these items do not come with your new dishwasher. So you have to buy these things separately. Salt, rinse kit, and soap cost around ₹ 1200 to ₹ 1500 per month.
At the time of installation of the dishwasher, you will need a socket (tap-to-inlet pipe) which you can buy from the installation team or can also be taken from the open market. It will cost around ₹100 to ₹150.
Descaling
After using the dishwasher, a layer of calcium, etc. accumulates on its inner surface, so after every 60 days, you should de-scaling your dishwasher. This process is done with the help of a de-scaler.
What types of dishes can be washed in the dishwasher
You can wash steel, glass, ceramic, microwave-safe plastic, and any dishwasher-safe utensil in it. But you should not wash aluminum, iron, nonstick and wooden utensils in it.
Water and Electricity consumption
Generally, any dishwasher uses 9 to 12 liters of water per wash cycle, which can be more or less according to the program.
Almost all dishwashers use between 0.8kW and 1.2kW of electricity per wash cycle. This power consumption depends on the washing cycle you have selected.
How long does it take to wash the dishes?
It takes at least 2 hours and 20 minutes to wash the dishes (that is, to complete the entire washing cycle) in the dishwasher. This washing cycle involves washing, rinsing, and drying the dishes.
