Smart




Dishwashers are fabulous appliances. They not only save you from hours of washing up, but it's claimed they actually save water doing it compared to washing everything by hand. Like washing machines, dishwashers have come on leaps and bounds since they first arrived.

Many now have several smart features, some of which save water and energy, while others are convenience features like delay starts and app control. Here are some of the smartest dishwashers available with a brief rundown of their smart functions.
