Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dishwashers typically last?

Most dishwashers have a lifespan of 9-12 years with proper maintenance. Regular cleaning of filters, seals, and spray arms can help extend the appliance's life and maintain cleaning performance.

Do I need special plumbing for installation?

Most dishwashers require standard hot water supply, drain connection, and electrical outlet. Built-in models need permanent installation, while portable models can connect temporarily to kitchen faucets. Professional installation is often recommended.

How much do dishwashers typically cost to operate?

Energy-efficient models typically cost $35-85 annually to operate, depending on local utility rates and usage frequency. Water heating accounts for most of the energy cost, so using shorter cycles and lower temperature settings when appropriate can reduce costs.

What's the difference between built-in and portable dishwashers?

Built-in dishwashers are permanently installed under countertops and typically offer larger capacity and quieter operation. Portable models can be moved and connected to faucets as needed, making them suitable for renters or kitchens without dedicated dishwasher space.
