Dishwasher demand is at an all-time high.

This year, we’re all spending more time at home. Whether you’re working from home, social distancing with family, or cooking for the kids, you might begin to notice things about your house that need to be upgraded such as a squeaky ceiling fan, an uncomfortable sofa, or perhaps, a dishwasher on the fritz.

More families are cooking at home. With no school lunches, limited restaurant openings, and daycares closed, more meals at home means your dishwasher is working harder than ever before. We’re finding that some big-name brands are experiencing supply shortages and cannot meet the unexpected spike in demand.

If you’re looking for a new dishwasher, there are many brands to choose from. Most shoppers turn to dishwasher ratings only to be more confused by their research. Sometimes the best price dishwashers are built well, have all the greatest features, but a lesser-known brand name. My goal was to focus on some great independent brands not available at big box stores. The purpose of this article is to showcase five fantastic dishwasher brands that offer all the latest features. On this list, you will find three rack dishwashers, quiet dishwashers, and even drawer dishwashers.

Dishwasher Brands to Consider

Thermador is a luxury appliance brand owned by the BSH Home Appliances Corporation. Thermador is the higher-end sister brand to Bosch. Bosch gets top dishwasher ratings year after year for quiet operation and reliability. Thermador dishwashers are essentially upscale Bosch dishwashers with many outstanding features including Wi-fi connectivity (select models), internal lighting (select models), sensitive cycles for crystal, flexible tines, and the 3rd rack for cutlery and cooking tools (select models).
