Queensland, July 26, 2018: There is no surprising fact that more than half of Australian households have a dishwasher. After all, owning a dishwasher means that you don’t need to deal with a sink full of dirty utensils. At present, dishwashers are considered one of the most necessary home appliances in Brisbane as it uses less energy and water than hand washing. This way, it can save your money and time.

Whether you want to replace your dishwasher or buy a new one, have a look at the guidelines on what you should look for when buying a dishwasher.

Choose the right size

A full sized dishwasher should have a 60cm length, 82–85cm height and 60cm width. There should be enough room at the back for ventilation. However, if you have a compact kitchen, you may consider using a drawer, compact or integrated dishwasher that can be concealed neatly under the benchtop. Before going to buy a dishwasher, you should measure the space in your kitchen to ensure that dishwasher will fit there.
