7 best affordable dishwashers under $600 to consider this year
Hoping to buy a new dishwasher but not break the bank? Here are a few affordable options, all under $600.
Samsung’s double-rack dishwasher has a sleek, modern design to fit your kitchen’s aesthetic, while also offering some additional features to add value for the price. You can adjust the height of the upper rack to fit larger dishes and utilize the stemware holders for wine glasses and similarly shaped items. The dishwasher currently holds a 4.2-star average rating from more than 1,000 Best Buy shoppers.
Yes, IKEA sells dishwashers — and they’re better than IKEA’s reputation for value furniture might lead you to believe, according to Gordon. The IKEA ESSENTIELL features eight program settings including Quick Wash and Energy Saver modes, and it has a delayed start function of up to 24 hours to control when you want your dishwasher running. IKEA also offers a five-year warranty, whereas other brands typically provide just one year, Gordon noted.
The Bosch 100 Series has earned high ratings over the years thanks to its cleaning power and durability. The Bosh can clean up to 14 place settings and features multiple wash settings, ranging from Normal to Heavy. While it doesn't have a third rack at the top, the Bosch dishwasher does include a small utility rack that can fit smaller, hard-to-place items and utensils. It boasts a 4.5-star average rating from more than 600 reviews on Best Buy.
For under $500, this Frigidaire will provide you the basic features of a dishwasher. With a 4-star average rating from over 5,000 shoppers at Home Depot, this Energy Star-certified dishwasher features five wash levels, a steam-cleaning option and a one-hour quick wash. Like the Bosch, it can clean 14 place settings in one cycle — a high capacity compared to other affordable dishwashers.
For a portable dishwashing option that you can take on the go or simply use within smaller spaces, the Farberware Countertop Dishwasher is just 17 inches tall and 22 inches wide, and it weighs 44 pounds, making it a lightweight option compared to other full-size dishwashers. It also has six place settings for dishes up to 10 inches in diameter, a cutlery basket and an additional rack on the side that folds down to fit cups and mugs. It has up to seven dishwashing settings, including a heavy-duty wash and a quick, 45-minute cycle. It’s also highly rated with a 4.5-star average rating from over 1,000 reviews on Amazon.
If you struggle with slightly dirty dishes even after washing them, the GE Front Control Dishwasher has a steam pre-wash cycle that can loosen stubborn soils before the more powerful washing cycle begins. The Dry Boost option dries dishes completely to avoid water spots after the standard dry cycle. The dishwasher also features a third upper rack to fit utensils and smaller items, while dedicated silverware jets focus solely on the included utensils basket to get them extra clean.
