10 of the most popular dishwashers in Australia 2025

Updated May 2025

Thank goodness for dishwashers, saving us from dishpan hands and countless hours of tedious hand washing. When the spray arms spin their last or ‘clean dishes’ are left with dishwasher detergent all over them, though, it might be time to replace your current machine with a smart new model.

If you’ve ever stood in an appliance retail store, staring at rows of washing machines or dishwashers and not knowing where to start looking, we feel your pain. Fortunately, there’s a much easier and more efficient way to shop for white goods these days, and one that doesn’t leave you at the mercy of a salesperson who’s more interested in their commission than in selling you what you actually need.

At Appliances Online, you can use loads of different filters to search for exactly what you want to find. From budget and brand to colour, capacity and Energy Star ratings, it’s a quick and easy way to find a selection that fits your wishlist, and then compare them side by side on one screen. How much easier is that than traipsing around numerous stores and hoping the salesperson is giving you impartial advice?

But you know what’s even easier than that? Letting thousands of others do the research first, and then sharing their opinions and advice about what they’ve bought. If you’re looking for a new dishwasher, this list of 10 of the top selling dishwashers bought by Appliances Online customers in 2024-2025 is a great place to start.

Of the hundreds of different models sold, these ten hit the sweet spot with thousands of Aussies across the country. If you find one you like the look of, just click through to buy it and - as long as it’s in stock and you’re part of the 95% of the nation that we can reach - you’ll get it delivered for free tomorrow* (weekdays).

Here’s a quick summary of the machines on this list.

Type of dishwasher: When it comes to regular sized (60cm width) dishwashers, you can choose between freestanding, built-under (under bench), integrated and semi-integrated. This list doesn’t feature any semi- models, but does include six freestanding, three built under, and one integrated dishwasher. Find out which type you currently have or get the lowdown on differences between freestanding, under-bench and built-under dishwashers.

Capacity and place settings: Most dishwashers are fairly similar in terms of their dimensions - 60cm width and standard height to fit beneath a kitchen benchtop, but their internal capacity can vary a little. In dishwashers, this is measured by ‘place settings’ with one place setting relating to one plate, sideplate, bowl, drinking glass and cutlery.

Most dishwashers have a 14 or 15 place setting capacity, though regular sized (60cm) models can range between 12 and 16 place settings. On this list, five dishwashers had 14 capacity place settings, three had 15 capacity, and one each had capacities of 12 and 13 place settings.

If you have a large family or frequently entertain, you might want to get a machine with a higher place setting capacity. For small and individual households, slimline dishwashers and DishDrawer dishwashers may be sufficient in size, as you can fill them and run them at the same rate as larger households fill regular sized dishwashers, thereby preventing the soiling on dirty dishes from becoming too heavily dried on.

Noise level: The way we live today makes having a quiet dishwasher more important than ever. Open plan living means that kitchens often adjoin living and dining areas without the soundproofing provided by walls between rooms. You don’t want to have to shout your dinner table conversation or crank up the volume on the TV to drown out the sound of the dishes being done.

The quietest dishwashers on this list have low operating volumes of 42 decibels (dB), and the loudest has 52dB. Volumes lower than 50dB are sometimes labelled as ‘silent’. As a point of reference, average ambient house noise is around 40dB and normal conversation measures about 60dB.

Price: The dollar symbols indicate where each model sits on the price scale in relation to this list, from lower cost ($$$) of under $900, to higher cost ($$$) of over $1,400. This pricing is based on the Recommended Retail Price (RRP), but at Appliances Online we sell dishwashers at below RRP when possible (which is most of the time!)

Dishwashers with the highest energy and water efficiencies will often cost more to buy, but have lower running costs than cheaper models with lower efficiencies. Just click the links for each model to see the prices and full specs.

Running cost: The annual running costs are based on a national average price of electricity of 29 cents per kilowatt hour using the Australian Government’s Standard Test of the dishwasher being used once every day.

However, electricity rates fluctuate and vary between States, Territories and providers, as well as by the wash cycle you use - a cold wash, for example, uses less power as it’s not heating the water. For a more accurate annual running cost calculation, you can enter the cost you pay per unit of electricity in the Energy Consumption Calculator that you’ll find on each dishwasher’s page on this site.

In addition to electricity costs, you will also use approximately 5 cents worth of water per wash, but again this will vary slightly by your provider and location, as well as the wash cycle chosen and the machine’s capacity and water efficiency.

Water and energy efficiency: The dishwashers on this list all have between 3 and 4 Star energy ratings, and between 3.5 and 5.5 Star water ratings. The dishwashers on this list use between 11 and 14 litres of water per wash cycle on their most economical setting (e.g. ‘eco wash’). Models with larger capacities may use a little more water, but have no worse water efficiency considering the greater volume of dirty dishes they can tackle.

Colour: Eight of the dishwashers on this list have a stainless steel finish. Most dishwashers have some type of metallic finish, from classic stainless steel to dark, satina and platinum, though there are a number of models available with a white or black finish. One model on the list is white and one is an integrated model, which therefore has a special front exterior that allows for panels that match your kitchen cabinets to be fixed to it.

Warranty: All of the dishwashers on this list come with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, though Beko offers an additional 3 Year Warranty, some models have 10-year warranties on motors or inner tubs, and others have ‘Lifetime Anti-flood Protection’.

Brands: Lots of people choose Bosch dishwashers, with six of the models on this list made by the German brand. Beko, Esatto, Westinghouse and Fisher & Paykel each have one model on the list. Bosch has won countless awards for its dishwashers, including the 2024 Trusted Brand award in the dishwashers category, voted by Australian consumers.

So, let's take a look at these 10 popular dishwashers.

#1. Esatto Freestanding
