The best dishwashers of 2026

Luuk11 JANUARY 2026

Are you looking for the best dishwashers right now? In this article you’ll find an overview of the most reliable, most energy-efficient and quietest dishwashers of the year. We’ve selected both built-in and freestanding models, so you can quickly see which dishwasher best suits your kitchen and enjoy sparkling clean dishes.

What is the best dishwasher?

The choice for the best dishwasher depends on your kitchen, household and personal preferences. Built-in dishwashers integrate seamlessly into the kitchen design and provide a sleek look, while freestanding dishwashers offer more flexibility in placement and are easy to move. When choosing a dishwasher, there are a number of factors to consider:

• Capacity: choose a model that suits the number of people in your household and the amount of dishes you typically have.

• Energy and water consumption: an energy-efficient dishwasher saves costs in the long term and is better for the environment.

• Noise level: especially in open kitchens or flats, a quiet dishwasher is pleasant, so you’ll hardly notice it’s running.

• Extra features: modern dishwashers often offer special programmes for delicate crockery, short programmes for busy days and smart connectivity for control via an app.
