Purchasing Tips
- Choose the right size for your home. Standard capacity models hold more than 8 places settings and 6 serving pieces. Compact capacity models hold 8 place settings and six serving pieces or less. If you have to operate a compact model more frequently, you may actually use more energy than you would with a standard model over time.
- Choose a dishwasher with several wash cycle selections. If your dishes are only slightly soiled, you can use a light or energy-saving wash cycle, which uses less water and operates for a shorter period of time.
- Check the yellow EnergyGuide label. The EnergyGuide label indicates how much energy the model uses, compares the energy use of similar models, and approximates annual operating costs. View sample label.
