Dishwasher Types Based on Size

Kitchen Dishwashers Machine for home comes in three different sizes. You will find three different sizes for dishwasher machines in India - full size, slimline and compact. All the three sizes are extremely different when it comes to capacity, water efficiency and energy efficiency.

You will find these sizes for both integrated and built-in dishwashers. Let us check out how the size creates a difference to understand why size matters when it comes to dishwashers.

Full-Size Dishwasher

Dishwashers with large capacity with settings between 12-16 are called Full-Size Dishwasher. The largest model of the dishwasher can wash upto 160 items in 1 cycle. This dishwasher is meant for large households where you have more than two people. Both freestanding and integrated types have full-size dishwasher models available.

The large capacity means full-size dishwashers have more water and energy efficiency. You can wash many more dishes in a full-size dishwasher in one cycle.

However, if you don't have enough dishes, then a full-size dishwasher won’t help you out. Benefit from this if you don’t have enough dishes to completely fill the machine for each wash. And similarly, if you have a small kitchen, it may be difficult to find space for a full-size model.

Slimline Dishwasher

Slimline Dishwashers are ideal when you have to adjust your dishwasher in a small or narrow kitchen. Slimline dishwashers are narrower than the full size, but they are efficient in cleaning. The dishwasher usually has a 9 - 10 place setting capacity. Therefore you can wash ten items in one cycle. But the drawback of Slimline dishwashers is that they are not as energy or water efficient as larger machines.

Compact Dishwasher

Compact dishwashers are the smallest size dishwasher. They are about the size of a large microwave so that you can place it on the top of your kitchen counter. The place setting of compact dishwashers is between 4-6. Compact dishwashers work better for single people when you don’t do much cooking. Compact dishwashers kill the need for bending down with heavy, dirty plates.

A compact dishwasher is roughly 55 cm wide. If you have a lot of pots and pans, then you will struggle to fit them in the dishwasher. The biggest drawback of a compact dishwasher is they are not water or energy-efficient than slimline and full-size models.

Dishwasher Finishes in India

You can find dishwashers in 3 major finishes when it comes to color. They are black, white and stainless steel. Choosing a dishwasher finishes matching to your kitchen is important if you are concerned about the interior. While black is a bold option, white is a cool tone and stainless steel is the go to option for most of us.

Stainless steel dishwashers

Stainless steel appliances are always the safest option. The color option looks good and blends into your kitchen easily. You will find numerous models of stainless steel dishwashers from top brands.

The stainless steel dishwasher goes good with a transitional kitchen where you have traditional flooring and cabinetry. The stainless steel appliance adds a modern feel to the kitchen.

In houses with all woodwork kitchens a stainless steel dishwasher will add a sparking element of modern day twist.

Black dishwashers

Black color is everyone's favourite and nowadays more and more appliances in black tone are evident especially when it comes to dishwashers. Black dishwasher looks chic and adds beauty to your kitchen space.

If you have a large open kitchen you must go for a black dishwasher. White cabinets will make your kitchen space look a little to much overwhelming there fore if you have a black dishwasher along with a refrigerator it will balance the look. And you know black and white is an all time deadly combination.

If your kitchen space is limited don't choose a black dishwasher as it will make the space feel more closed and congested. In that case go for a white dishwasher.

White dishwashers

White appliances are rarely seen in homes as they need more cleaning and maintenance but there are some very interesting white finishes available from top brands in India which can make you reconsider your choice. You can go for a white polished flat surface dishwasher. It's a sophisticated look that appears clean and fresh.

White dishwasher would look good if you have a cool tone interior in your kitchen. It would make your kitchen feel more open. If you lack natural light in your kitchen then also you must go for appliances with white finishes as it makes your kitchen look light and compact.

Dishwasher Features

1. Spray Arms

Spray arms are the core of the dishwasher as it is where the water comes out and wash off your dishes. When you switch on the dishwasher, the water comes out and dispense evenly by the spray arm on your dirty dishes to make them clean. There are four types of the spray arm, including the traditional one that you can find in a dishwasher.

Traditional Spray Arm

Common Spray Arm which is distributed in a circular pattern within the dishwasher. They are highly similar to garden sprinklers and look like a miniature form of it. In a traditional spray arm, the water is pumped into the spray arms and then sprayed over the dishes. Water pressure is the result of the arms spin in a circular motion and circulates the water evenly.

Additional Spray Arm

The additional Spray arm is present in dishwashers which have a cutlery tray present on the top of the machine. The additional spray arm is limited to some brands only. They are introduced for deep cleaning of dishes in the dishwasher. Because of the water pressure, the arms spin in a circular motion and circulates the water evenly.

The satellite spray is present on the end of the larger bottom spray arm. The spray has a double-rotation that dispenses the water to the extremely awkward corners.

Waterwall Spray Arm

Waterwall Spray Arm is a bar spray which moves from back to front along the bottom of the tub to clean dishes efficiently. As a result, all the dishes get even coverage from a wall of water, hence the name. This is a relatively new feature that high-end brands are starting to include in their newest models. Waterwall is a washing system that uses a bar spray arm that moves back to front along the bottom of the tub.

2. Controls and Displays

Most dishwashers have their control panels located on the front of the door. But in some models, you will find the panel located on the top edge of the door. Different models have different display designs based on style. Some display panels come with a LED clock timer that updates you about how long a cycle has left to run and gives an alarm to signal when it’s finished. Touch screen control panels are common these days. But you still get dials and buttons both.

3. Button Functions

Button Function helps you to programme your dishwasher for a wash cycle. Once you load all your utensils for a wash in a dishwasher, choose the time you want the cycle to start, and the machine will get programmed for cleaning your dishes at input time. Also, in some dishwashers, you get child-safety locks for kids. This keeps your babies safe and away from any danger.

4. Sensors

Sensors are found in high-end dishwashers models. The sensor detects the soil level in the water and then accordingly sets the temperature and length of every wash cycle. In some dishwashers, you get load sensors as well, which detects a load of dishes in a dishwasher and sets the length and water use.

5. Filters

Filters in dishwashers are in the form of tube-like sieves. The filters are present in the bottom of the dishwasher machine. The filter collects food residues during every wash and stores it so that it does not get re-deposited back on clean dishes. If a dishwasher has manual filters, you need to clean them on your own. In the case of automatic cleaning dishwashers, the job is done on its own.

6. Doors

Door in dishwashers also varies with different models of dishwasher. Some top brands have specialized doors in their dishwasher, which stays at whatever angle you leave them open. These specialized doors don't drop down while you are loading your washer. Also, some dishwashers have an AutoOpen option where the dishwasher's door opens on its own after the end of the cycle, allowing fresh air to dry your crockery.

And to choose the right capacity, you first need to understand how much can you really fit in a dishwasher in order to get your job done.

Dishwasher Capacity

To understand how much you can fit inside a dishwasher, you need to understand the size of dishwashers and your needs. If you have a big family and you have lots of dishes in one go, then you need a full-size dishwasher.

Full-size dishwashers models are the largest. They usually have a capacity of 12 to 16 place settings. In the case of slimline dishwashers, the place setting varies between 9 to 10. And for compact dishwashers, it is as low as 4 to 6 place setting capacity.
