I am looking for info about buying a dishwasher. Like which brand, size?

Since there are no replies, I've decided to post a copy of what to do when choosing a dishwasher, in case any one is interested. Let me know if it's helpful and if you have a dishwasher or intend to buy one. - -

Step

1

Measure the space where the dishwasher will go. Most dishwashers are either 18 or 24 inches wide and can hold 12 place settings.

Step

2

Check the number of spray levels. The more directions of spray that a dishwasher has, the cleaner your dishes will be.

Step

3

Look for a dishwasher that heats water to at least 140 degrees. Often, the water heating unit is located within the dishwasher itself.

Step

4

Choose a dishwasher with a food grinder or heavy-duty disposal if you don't want to pre-rinse.

Step

5

Check the Energy Guide label for the energy-efficiency rating. The lower the number, the less energy the dishwasher will use in a year.

Step

6

Choose a delay start function if you will want to program the dishwasher to run when you are not home or at night.

Step

7

Consider the kinds of cycles you want the dishwasher to run. Options include light cycles for washing lightly-soiled dishes or china and crystal; normal cycles for normal, everyday dishwashing; heavy or "pots and pans" cycles for dishes or baking pans with stuck-on food; and "rinse and hold" cycles to remove food and odors if dishes will sit in the dishwasher for some time before a full washing cycle is run.

Step

8

Buy a sound-dampening package if you think the dishwasher will be too noisy.

Step

9

Find out what the warranty covers and whether or not it is included in the price of the dishwasher. Decide on an extended warranty if desired.

Step

10

Be sure the dishwasher can be serviced locally.

so which brand u buy

Not in a hurry to buy one. But here's some interesting development going on at the Singapore Polytechnic though it doesn't say when the invention will be put into a dish washing machine. It appeared on tv news a few days ago. Students have developed a technique for washing dishes using small air bubbles that move about in the water thereby removing dirt, unlike the conventional use of water sprays.

Does any reader have more info on this?

i think the basic miele starts from around $3k to 5k, same as with gaggenau. U can check with Miele at the showroom at winsland hse or BSH home appliances at jalan pemimpin! Both are gd brands, it depends on the look ur kitchen wants! Miele of course, will be the preferrd choice for me!

I got a Miele (old model) from the Miele display unit sale last month (but still had those sticky cover on it). Paid only 1850 for it.

U be surprised at how water efficient and energy efficient it can be! For a 12 place settings, a gd dishwasher can use as little as 10 litres of water and 1kw of electricity an hr! However much depends on the set up of ur kitchen! alot of designers in sg nowadays dun focus attention on kitchens

and thus not much space left for a dishwasher to be integrated, and alot of condo units actually have tiny kitchens..
