Dishwashers

Dishwasher noise levels are rated in decibels, the lower the decibel number the quieter the dishwasher. A difference of just a few decibels may not seem to be much, but a dishwasher that is just one decibel more is actually 30 percent louder. A dishwasher that is four decibels more is twice as loud.

• Quick Wash / Economy – can handle lightly soiled dishes at lower temperatures conserving time, water, and electricity.
• Half Load or Top Solo – uses a fraction of the water and energy resources to efficiently clean a smaller-than-normal load.
• Auto Wash – a unique cycle which utilizes either a turbidity or pressure sensor to determine how dirty the wash water is throughout the wash cycle. The dishwasher then automatically shortens or lengthens the wash time accordingly for maximum cleaning results.
• China / Crystal Cycle – a few dishwashers feature a variable speed motor capable of lowering water pressure for delicate cycles. This feature is useful in minimizing damage to glassware or stemware. For consumers who want to wash their delicate glassware and china in the dishwasher.
• Sanitize Rinse Cycle – based on NSF certification, the water in a sanitize rinse cycle must reach higher 160 degrees or higher for several minutes- providing a truly sanitizing environment for the dishes. This feature can be used to sanitize baby bottles or plastic cups. Many models wash at over 160 degrees for the entire cycle, and the term “sanitized” rather than “clean” will display at the end of the cycle.
