Dishwasher Buying Guide
Not sure which dishwasher is your perfect match? Our buying guide breaks everything down from key features to handy tips, so you can shop with confidence.
- Are dishwashers a standard size?
Not all dishwashers are exactly the same size, but most built‑in models are made to slide neatly into a standard 60cm wide space in your kitchen. If you're short on space, slimline ones around 45cm are a great fit, and compact or countertop options are perfect for really tight spots. Just give your space a quick measure before you buy, as depths can differ slightly.
- How long do dishwasher cycles take?
It really depends on the programme. Most modern dishwashers typically take between an 1.5 and 2.5 hours for a standard cycle. Quick Wash settings can whizz through in about 30 minutes, while more intense or eco‑friendly cycles can take over four hours because they use less water and lower temperatures.
- How much do dishwashers cost to run?
Running a dishwasher in the UK usually costs somewhere between 14p and 33p per cycle, which works out to roughly £36 to £64 a year if you use it daily. The exact amount depends on how efficient your model is. Eco modes can keep yearly costs as low as around £52, while older machines might creep above £75. So, a quick check of the energy rating can really pay off.
- Why are my dishes still dirty after a cycle?
If your plates aren’t coming out clean, it is often down to how the dishwasher is loaded, a clogged filter, or blocked spray arms. Make sure nothing is stopping the spray arms from spinning and give the filter a regular clean to keep everything working properly.
- How often should I clean my dishwasher?
It’s a good idea to give your dishwasher a clean about once a month. Just pop out and rinse the filter, wipe around the door seals, and run a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a splash of white vinegar. It’ll keep everything fresh and running smoothly.
- How much does dishwasher integration cost?
Our fully trained team will get your new integrated dishwasher installed and ready to go for just £125, so you can sit back and let us handle the hard work.
