In the replacement market, the consumer values the dishwasher highly and is looking to upgrade to more capacity, style, energy efficiency, quieter operation, sensor programming and overall greater functionality.
Technological advances The main technological and product design advancements for dishwashers have been made in four areas: – energy and water saving, aided by faster and sensor-driven programmes
Baumatic’s integrated dishwasher
– noise reduction – larger load capacity – specialist programmes, and the use of steam.
It isn’t uncommon now for manufacturers to have dishwashers with 10 litres water consumption per wash. This year saw the launch of the first model with a record-breaking six-litre consumption. Sensor-driven programmes, now present on many mid- and high-end models, are the ‘brains’ behind water and energy savings. The dishwasher is now able to detect how dirty the load is and adjust the wash cycle automatically to ensure every item comes out sparkling clean. There are many benefits of such technology, not least because it saves the user time, as the programme won’t run for any longer than necessary. Another major advantage of this is that it cuts down on water wastage, saving up to 25% more water than a standard wash programme.
AEG-Electrolux’s ProClean dishwasher
Some dishwashers use steam to soften and loosen dirt from heavily soiled dishes, pots and pans. This eliminates the need for pre-soaking or customer intervention prior to washing in the machine and promotes the elimination of bacteria.
Zeolith drying technology that Siemens introduced to its latest line of dishwashers is still unique. It utilises natural minerals that have the ability to absorb water molecules and release them as energy. This makes these premium dishwashers very energy efficient as they consume as little as 0.86kWh per cycle.
With more family and social life taking place in the kitchen, noise level of dishwashers is also a
