Surprising Reasons You Need A New Dishwasher

Dollar Saving Divas & More

If your dishwasher is more than eight years old, a new one might use 15 percent less electricity and 20 percent less water, making it cost less to run.

And new ones are more effective when it comes to tackling dirty dishes, because many come equipped with soil sensors.

Soil sensors work by automatically adjusting the wash cycle depending on how much grime is detected on dishes.

With soil sensors, you’ll need to resist the urge to pre-rinse your dishes. Instead, just scrape off the large bits of food into the garbage.

Pre-rinsing tricks the dishwasher into thinking your dishes are cleaner than they are, and that could cut the cycle short, leaving your dishes not so clean.

Manufacturers have also addressed another consumer gripe: wet dishes. They’ve come up with a bunch of ways to get them drier. One fix is to have the door automatically open to release steam and speed up evaporation.

Some of the latest dishwashers have a wireless connection. So you can find out via an app whether your dishwasher has a leak, needs more rinse aid, or has some other problem.

BONUS - load your dishwasher properly!!!
