Are Cheap Dishwashers Good?

After a portable dishwasher to pop in your rental kitchen? Opt for a freestanding model and set your sights on big-value brands like Solt, Haier, Technika, and Hisense.

Who Makes The Best Cheap Built-In Dishwashers?

Going seamless with a built-in? Asko, Fisher & Paykel and Bosch are your budget-dishwasher dream team.

“Pay a little, but expect a lot from Asko budget kitchen appliances,” says Tania. “Their dishwashers are the most affordable in our range, but they’re a go-to for savvy shoppers who still want next-gen features like a quiet night mode, extra-dry finishing, and delayed start to make the most of off-peak electricity periods,” says Tania.

Got the budget for a mid-range dishwasher? Upgrading to a Bosch model gets you smart AquaSensor technology, which detects how dirty your dishes are and uses only as much water as needed for a spotless clean. Fisher & Paykel entry-level dishwashers are smart (and beautiful!) too. Their Auto option senses the optimum wash cycle for your load so you don't have to guess. Dishwashers that do the thinking for you – genius!
