Quick verdict
For most people, the Philco Predicta 15-setting Inverter is the best buy: lots of capacity, low consumption and a good price. If you want to spend little or have a small kitchen, the Philco 5-setting countertop; if you want premium, the Whirlpool 10-setting Inverter.
What to look for before buying
- Capacity (place settings) — Measured in 'place settings' (sets of dishes). 5-6 for a couple or small kitchen; 10-12 for a family; 14-15 if there are several of you or you cook a lot. Choose by how many dishes you pile up per day.
- Countertop or floor-standing — The 5-6 setting ones are compact and sit on the counter (no plumbing work); the 10-15 ones are floor-standing or built-in and need fixed water and drain connections.
- Inverter and efficiency — An inverter motor uses less and runs quieter. Combined with good eco programs, it cuts electricity and water versus hand-washing full loads.
- Wash programs — Programs for heavily soiled dishes, delicate glassware, eco or quick add flexibility. Auto drying and salt/rinse-aid dosing make daily use easier.
- Installation — Check you have a water supply and drain nearby. Countertop units connect to the tap; floor-standing ones are best installed by someone experienced.

Frequently asked
How many place settings do I need?
It depends on how many of you there are and how much you cook. As a guide: 5-6 settings for a couple or small kitchen; 10-12 for a family; 14-15 if there are several or you host often. If in doubt, one size up saves you from washing in two loads.
Does a dishwasher use more water than hand-washing?
The opposite: used with a full load and an eco program, a modern dishwasher usually uses less water and energy than washing the same amount by hand under a running tap. The key is loading it fully before running it.
Countertop or floor-standing?
A countertop unit (5-6 settings) is ideal if you're short on space or renting, because it connects to the tap and needs no plumbing work. A floor-standing one (10-15) washes more at once but needs fixed water and drain connections. Choose based on your kitchen.
