A dishwasher is an appliance we can often take for granted and not think much about. However, if your dishwasher is several years old, you may not be aware of some of the truly amazing features available on the market now. In this article, we’ll go over five dishwasher features you didn’t know you needed.
Third Rack
More and more new dishwashers are being built with three racks—the regular two on the bottom and top and smaller, thinner one at the very top. This additional rack offers more space and more efficient use of space, and it’s great for silverware and kitchen utensils. Depending on the make and model of the dishwasher, the additional rack may even be large enough for small bowls or glasses.
Eco Mode
As appliances become more and more energy efficient, many new dishwashers have introduced an eco-mode. This setting saves energy, uses less water, and lower temperatures to wash your dishes. Not only is this better for the environment, it also saves you money on your power and water bill as well.
Quiet Operation
Many older dishwashers can be very loud, so loud it can be hard to even talk over! Many newer dishwashers, like the Cove Dishwasher offered at MG Home are ultra-quiet, washing your dishes in near silence.
App Control
Like many other appliances, dishwashers have become “smart” meaning they are often wi-fi enabled and can be controlled through an app on your phone. While some people may be a little wary of this, the flexibility and convenience of being able to check on the progress of a cycle or start a new cycle remotely is unmatched.
Washes and Dries Efficiently
Of course, the purpose of a dishwasher is to wash your dishes efficiently, so you don’t have to. But how often, with older dishwashers especially, do you find yourself pre-washing dishes to make sure they’ll come out of the dishwasher clean? And when dishwashers say they’ll dry your dishes during a dry cycle, that somehow doesn’t seem to be true for at least some of them. With newer models, especially those from Cove (link to product again), you can be sure that when you put dirty dishes in, they’ll come out clean and dry.
