BUYING GUIDE
Finding the perfect dishwasher can be a lifesaver when it comes to tackling the dirty dishes that pile up in your sink. If you have a smaller kitchen, an 18-inch dishwasher can offer the same utility as a standard 24-inch machine but with a smaller footprint. Here’s what you should consider when shopping for the best 18-inch dishwasher to suit your needs.
1. Size and Dimensions
Though most 18-inch dishwashers are designed to fit into tighter spaces, it’s essential to measure your available area carefully, keeping in mind that you’ll need room for door clearance and hoses.
2. Capacity
These compact dishwashers usually hold up to eight place settings. Think about your daily dishwashing needs to determine if this will be sufficient for your household.
3. Wash Cycles
From “quick wash” to “heavy-duty,” the number and types of wash cycles vary from model to model. Choose a machine with cycles that match your typical dishwashing needs.
4. Energy Efficiency
Like larger models, many 18-inch dishwashers come with Energy Star ratings. An energy-efficient model can help you save on water and electricity bills over time.
5. Noise Level
In smaller living spaces, the noise from appliances can be more noticeable. Check the decibel level of the machine, and look for models that have a “quiet operation” feature.
6. Material and Build Quality
Stainless steel interiors are generally more durable and energy-efficient than plastic ones. They also resist staining and can tolerate higher wash temperatures.
7. Control Panel
Some prefer the sleek look of hidden controls, while others like the ease of use offered by front controls. The best choice depends on your aesthetic preference and usability needs.
8. Drying Options
While most 18-inch models won’t have as many drying options as their larger counterparts, some do offer features like “heated drying” or “condensation drying” for more efficient drying performance.
9. Additional Features
Look for extra features like adjustable racks, a soil sensor, or even a sanitizing option that can eliminate bacteria and improve the overall cleanliness of your dishes.
10. Installation
Most 18-inch dishwashers are built-in models, but some portable and countertop options exist. Consider how the machine will fit into your kitchen layout and whether you’ll need professional installation.
11. Brand and Warranty
A reputable brand often indicates higher reliability and better customer service. Warranties vary, so be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully.
12. Price
Prices can vary significantly based on the features and brand reputation. Make sure to balance your needs with your budget and consider long-term costs like energy and water usage.
Choosing an 18-inch dishwasher involves balancing capacity, features, and dimensions with your unique kitchen needs. Armed with this information, you’re well on your way to finding the ideal appliance for keeping your dishes sparkling clean.
