BUYING GUIDE
The convenience of a portable dishwasher cannot be overstated, especially if you’re dealing with a kitchen that lacks the space for a built-in unit. An 18-inch portable dishwasher is a compact yet effective solution for those who seek flexibility along with performance. Here are some factors to consider when shopping for the best 18-inch portable dishwasher to meet your needs.
1. Portability and Ease of Use
Ensure the unit has wheels for easy maneuverability. Some models come with handles or additional features like quick-connect adapters for smooth and hassle-free setup.
2. Size and Dimensions
While 18-inch dishwashers are designed for smaller spaces, it’s crucial to measure your available area to make sure the dishwasher will fit, especially when it’s on wheels.
3. Capacity
Typically, an 18-inch portable dishwasher will hold up to eight place settings. Evaluate your dishwashing needs to make sure this will suffice for your household.
4. Energy Efficiency
An Energy Star certified model can significantly reduce water and electricity usage, which can be beneficial in the long run.
5. Wash Cycles and Options
Look for a range of wash cycles such as “quick wash,” “heavy-duty,” or even “sanitize” to meet various cleaning needs. The more wash cycles available, the more versatile the appliance will be.
6. Noise Level
Portable dishwashers can be noisier than built-in models. Check the decibel level, and if quiet operation is crucial for you, look for models specifically designed to run more quietly.
7. Material and Build Quality
A stainless steel interior is generally more durable and efficient than a plastic one. Check the quality of the wheels and handles too, as these will be heavily used.
8. Faucet Adapter
Most portable dishwashers come with a faucet adapter that makes it easy to connect to your kitchen tap. Make sure the adapter is compatible with your faucet.
9. Drying Options
Though you may not get as many drying options as in a built-in model, some portable dishwashers offer decent drying capabilities, like heated or condensation drying.
10. Additional Features
Some models come with features like a hard food disposer, time delay, or soil sensor. These extras can make your dishwashing experience more efficient and convenient.
11. Control Panel
Whether the control panel is hidden or on the front usually comes down to personal preference. However, easy-to-use controls are a must, especially if multiple people will be using the unit.
12. Brand and Warranty
Go for reputable brands that offer a reasonable warranty period and have good customer service reviews. This can save you headaches down the line.
13. Price
While portable dishwashers are generally less expensive than built-in units, prices can vary based on the features included. Always balance your budget against your list of must-haves to find the best value.
Given the portability and flexibility of these appliances, an 18-inch portable dishwasher can be a superb choice for those who rent their homes or have smaller kitchens. With these considerations in mind, you’re ready to find the model that will make your life both easier and cleaner.
