Top Control Dishwashers

Top control Dishwashers feature controls on the inside top of the door.

• Pros: Top controls on a dishwasher lend a sleek look to your kitchen. The integrated, hidden controls keep kids away from messing with settings. This type of dishwasher features an added indicator light on the front to let you know when your cycle is complete and an added handle that can also be used as an extra towel bar.
• Points to Consider: Controls are not easily viewable/accessible when the dishwasher is closed and running.

Front Control Dishwashers

Front Control Dishwashers feature the ease of selecting settings without opening the door.

• Pros: Visible controls make it easy to view cycle settings and the progress of your dishes being cleaned. A sleek pocket handle still gives a clean look to your kitchen.
• Points to Consider: Because controls are on the outside, there is potential for unintentionally bumping into the controls or children meddling with the settings.

Extra Features for Your Dishwasher

Select the features that you would like in your dishwasher. Dishwashers have become quite innovative by adding many cleaning features while reducing noise level.

Sound Level:

• Standard: 51dBA and above

Tub Material:

• Plastic – this is the least expensive option, and is usually available in white or grey.
