DISH WASHERS

DISH WASHERS

You might find the energy to rustle up some dinner for the family after a long days work but scrubbing those dishes can really be a pain This is where the dishwasher steps in It really simplifies your life Even for those with maids a dishwasher delicately washes off all the grub from your delicate crockery as well something you wouldnt trust your maid with However before you invest on this wonder machine there are few things to be considered Firstly depending on the number of people in the household you can pick the capacity you want ie capacity in terms of the number of utensils This also depends on your food habits Those from the old school still eat in big thaalis and drink from the big lassi glasses in which case you will automatically require more space than the standard dinner plate size Higher capacity machines are able to accommodate more utensils in one wash load Dishwashers currently can wash a maximum of 116 utensils When youre at the dealers place the dishes in the dishwasher so you definitely know what kind and how many dishes fit into the dishwasher youre aim to buy The minimum capacity a dishwasher offers is 4plate settings highend machines have 12 or 14 plate settings Machines with 4plate settings can accommodate up to 32 utensils So you dont have to worry about the postparty scene at home The price of a dishwasher is largely dependent on its capacity In all probability will have a rough budget in your head reserved for a dishwasher Just in case you dont a dishwasher can cost you anywhere between Rs 11 000 to Rs 45 000 The other determinant for price is the number of features included in the dishwasher
This refers to the total time of any selected wash cycle just as in washing machines Naturally this will differ depending on how greasy your utensils are as also on the type of vessels in the dishwasher For instance if youve put heavily greased pans then you will need a bigger cycle time One advantage is that even in a wider or longer cycle you can manually adjust the timing based on the wash load thus saving electricity consumption

Number of wash programmes is the number of preset programmes available in a dishwasher More options are always good as it will facilitate easy and fast washing of utensils However more the number of programmes more the cost so in case youre pinching pennies you can take a call on the programmes you need the most and go for a dishwasher that offers those limited wash programmes Usually most entrylevel dishwashers offer at least 3 preset wash programmes whereas highend ones offer a maximum of seven

Temperature rangeThis refers to the range of temperature of water that is available with the dishwasher Since dishwashers have inbuilt heaters to heat the water it is useful to have a wider temperature range If you have a load of lightly soiled dishes you can conserve electricity by setting a lower temperature
