Best dishwashers of 2026

Bram11 JANUARY 2026
In a spacious, bright kitchen, a dishwasher on the island is open and full of dishes, in a modern space with warm dining area.

Looking for a new dishwasher that cleans well, with a focus on energy use and ease of use? In this article, you’ll discover the best models right now, both standalone and built-in, and find out what to consider based on your space, budget and needs.

What makes a good dishwasher?

A modern half-open dishwasher with blue interior lighting is integrated into a sleek kitchen with a dark worktop and marble wall.

The best dishwasher isn’t the same for everyone. It all depends on your needs, available space and budget. Keep a few key points in mind to decide more easily which dishwasher to buy for your kitchen and situation:

  • Type of appliance: choose between a freestanding dishwasher or a built-in dishwasher, depending on your kitchen layout. A built-in dishwasher provides a neat, flush finish with your cabinets, while a freestanding model gives you more flexibility in where you place it. Also choose the right door system for your setup.
  • Size: match the dimensions to the space. Slim models 45 cm wide are handy for smaller kitchens. Measure the niche dimensions carefully in advance.

A white freestanding dishwasher is seamlessly built into light kitchen cabinets, featuring a wooden countertop and minimalist style.

Capacity: depends on how much crockery and cutlery you typically use. The larger the capacity, the more you can wash in one go.

Programmes: make sure they suit your routine: a quick wash is useful for lightly soiled dishes, while an intensive mode is efficient for baked-on residue.

When comparing dishwashers, also check the energy rating, consumption, noise level, drying functions, adjustable racks or drawers, and smart features. The right dishwasher brings all these elements together and makes your daily routine much easier. Discover the best built-in dishwashers below.
