Rating labels for dishwashers
Consider all the costs!
The range of water efficient dishwashers available continues to grow, which also results in some fierce competition by manufacturers and retailers.
The cost of purchasing a water and energy efficient dishwasher is not always the prohibitive amount some would have you believe. The choice of affordable water and energy efficient dishwashers has increased considerably over the last few years.

And remember, it’s important to consider not only the up front cost of buying a new dishwasher but the actual running costs, and this is where the water conservation star rating labels together with the energy star ratings can help you reduce your overall costs. Both labelling systems work the same way, the more stars, the more water or energy efficient the product.
While you’re comparing performance on water, energy and cleaning performance, you should also check to see if the retailer or manufacturer offers a whitegoods recovery and recycling service for your old dishwasher.
Of course you’ll also need to use the technology effectively by washing full loads and exploiting wash programs that use minimal water or do half loads. Why use a heavy water consuming program to wash a small number of dishes?
