I want to talk to you about dishwashers ; more specifically about the convenience and cost-cutting they can bring you. Yes, I know, dishwashers are generally viewed as being right at the ‘luxury’ end of the white goods spectrum and not a real necessity. Plus, with utility-dealing fat cats jostling to further line their capacious yet already extensively lined pockets, is another expense possible when electricity and gas suppliers are gleefully encouraging bills to rise even faster than the oceans? Well, yes, if you buy both savvy and eco-friendly, you can save time and money in abundance! Not to mention avoid disfigured “dishwasher hands”.
First and foremost, it should be eco-friendly – that means not only purchasing a machine that is rated to be energy efficient, but also utilising your new tumble toy in a manner that continues to protect the planet and your pocket in equal measure. Let’s look at some stats from Utilita Energy’s dishwasher expert: That’s a lot of wasted water and, quite literally, money down the drain. So, stick with a machine that comes with an energy efficiency rated no lower than ‘D’, is suitably sized to just see to your specific needs and little more and, of course, don’t half load! To help you discover a dishwasher that fits you like a well-moulded Marigold, I’ve found five that run the grime-removing gamut across price, capacity and cash-saving eco-credentials, so ditch the sponge on a stick and wash your hands of all that scrub.
