How Which? tests dishwashers

In the Which? lab we test dishwashers on a wide range of criteria including cleaning, drying, avoiding watermarks, noise and ease of use. We also rate each model for electricity and water consumption when using the eco and normal programs.

We give every model a star rating for each of these criteria, and award the best-performing models Best Buy status. Check out our dishwasher reviews for more on how we test, to see the test results for each dishwasher tested, and to find which are Best Buys.
