BUYING GUIDE
A third rack dishwasher can be a game-changer when it comes to freeing up space and providing an extra layer of organizational convenience. By offering a third rack above the traditional two, these dishwashers let you fit in more items or offer specialized compartments for cutlery, large utensils, or even small cups. If you’re looking to invest in one, here are the factors to consider.
1. Size and Fit
Measure your available space carefully, as third rack dishwashers can come in a range of sizes, including standard, compact, and even oversized models.
2. Type of Installation
These dishwashers come as built-in, freestanding, or integrated models. The choice depends on whether you’re looking to blend the appliance into your existing kitchen design or are willing to have it stand alone.
3. Energy Efficiency
Check if the model has an Energy Star rating, which indicates it uses less electricity and water, saving you money on utility bills.
4. Capacity
The main advantage of a third rack dishwasher is increased capacity. Make sure to choose one that meets your specific needs, especially if you frequently host gatherings or have a large family.
5. Wash Cycles
Look for dishwashers that offer various wash cycles to meet different cleaning needs, such as quick wash, heavy-duty wash, and eco-friendly wash options.
6. Noise Level
A quiet dishwasher is especially important if your kitchen is open to your living area or if you prefer running the appliance during the night.
7. Material and Build Quality
Stainless steel interiors generally last longer and are more durable compared to plastic. They also resist staining better but tend to be pricier.
8. Adjustable and Flexible Rack Design
The third rack should be versatile enough to accommodate various types of utensils or even small plates and bowls. Some models offer adjustable or removable racks for even greater flexibility.
9. Control Panel and User Interface
Whether you prefer a digital display or mechanical dials, the controls should be intuitive and straightforward to use.
10. Price and Budget
While third rack dishwashers are generally more expensive than their two-rack counterparts, prices can range from around $500 to well over $1,000. Set a budget but be prepared to invest for quality and features.
11. Brand Reputation
Always consider the reputation of the brand and the warranty they offer. Reading customer reviews can provide valuable insights into long-term performance and reliability.
12. Smart Features
Some third rack dishwashers are Wi-Fi enabled, allowing you to control them via smartphone apps. While not necessary for everyone, this feature could add a level of convenience for tech-savvy users.
13. Customer Service and Return Policy
Make sure you know the return policy and assess the customer service reputation of the company before making the purchase.
Taking the time to consider these factors can help you choose a third rack dishwasher that best suits your needs. The added convenience and increased capacity could very well make it one of the most practical upgrades for your kitchen.
