Types of High End Dishwashers | JennAir (2024)

What Makes a Dishwasher High End

There are countless features, design elements and materials that set a high end dishwasher apart from lower-end makes. For starters, the inherent design of a luxury appliance will allow it to be built into your cabinetry, offering a sleek and stylish look. The features of a high end dishwasher will also be much more advanced than those of a low-end dishwasher, including smart technology, LED lights and specified cycles based on what you are washing.

How to Choose a Dishwasher

Like any luxury appliance, there are key factors to consider before choosing the right one for your home. First and foremost, you should measure where you want to install a high-end dishwasher. It’s also best to know the different capacities and capabilities of the dishwasher to be sure it’s best for you. Read on to learn more about the different features of a luxury dishwasher.

ENERGY STAR^® Certified

It’s more important than ever to be conscious of your impact on the environment. ENERGY STAR^® Certified appliances save energy, save water and help protect the environment. This widely trusted and recognized label means that the appliance meets standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Products that are ENERGY STAR^® certified undergo ongoing verification testing.

Dishwasher Size

The standard size of a dishwasher, luxury and low-end, is 24-inch wide. This size is nearly universal across the industry, as it is the size built into your cabinets for installation. If you are uncertain about the size of your kitchen, be sure to measure the area you plan to place the dishwasher, and check the sizing dimensions in the details of the product. Sometimes, a dishwasher may have sizing just under or just above 24-inches, as it accounts for the spacing of the handles.

Luxury Materials

A luxury dishwasher has a sleek and upscale appearance to fit in your high-end kitchen. A luxury brand will also offer distinctive, exclusive colors and finishes in premium materials, like the RISE™ and NOIR™ finishes offered by JennAir brand. These appliances will be made of materials like stainless steel to create fine lines and a seamless finish. The handles will be made of metal and often there will be a striking interior to showcase your dishes and glassware.

High end dishwashers will also come panel-ready, so you can customize the exterior of the appliance to blend with the cabinetry of the rest of your kitchen.

What are the Different Types of Dishwashers?

From washing dishware after a dinner party or cleaning the kitchen after a meal with your family, there are different types of high end dishwashers available to fit your lifestyle.

Built In Dishwasher

A built in dishwasher will traditionally come in the standard size of 24-inches and will be integrated and installed underneath your countertops. You do not need to sacrifice performance for an upscale look of your high end appliance, as the sleek look will elevate your kitchen. A high end, built in dishwasher will also accept different wood panels to match the cabinetry in your kitchen.

Oversized Dishwasher

There are large-capacity dishwashers that can be customized to fit your kitchen. These oversized options can be helpful for those who like to host and entertain often, allowing you to clean up more efficiently after occasions. A larger dishwasher can hold more dishes but results in you having to remodel your space for it to fit properly within your kitchen.

However, even if your dishwasher is not oversize, a high end dishwasher will allow you to customize your appliance to your liking. A luxury dishwasher is still very flexible in the different types of exteriors and interiors you can choose from, like the dishwasher’s tines, as well as the adjustable racks to fit your dishes and third rack for your cutlery.

Dishwashers for Small Kitchens

Whether your high-rise condo, office, yacht or lanai doesn’t have the space for a full-sized dishwasher, there are different compact dishwasher options that are available for smaller spaces, like compact dishwashers. While compact dishwashers will help you clean your dishes, you also sacrifice many features, capabilities, and functions in favor of saving space.

High End Dishwasher Features?

Like many other high end appliances, a luxury dishwasher includes different features, controls and capabilities that raise the bar. A hidden control panel provides you with optimal use of your appliance without the look of bulky buttons, while a third rack on the interior offers a higher capacity than others. Luxury dishwashers also have more cycle options than low-end dishwashers, including specialty wash zones for your different glassware, flatware, and dishes. A smart dishwasher will allow you to control your appliance conveniently from your smartphone.* For those who want a quiet dishwasher available for their kitchen, these luxury appliances are designed to have high-performing cycles with minimal noise.

Design of a Luxury Dishwasher

A high end dishwasher not only optimally cleans your glassware, dishware and flatware — it also looks stunning in your upscale kitchen. The flush design of a built-in dishwasher allows the appliance to seamlessly blend into your kitchen while still washing many dishes at once. A high end dishwasher will also offer you a sleek look with hidden controls, buttons and pocket-handles.

You can also find high end dishwashers to include many premium materials, like stainless steel dishwashers, metals and striking interiors to allow you cutlery and dishware to shine. These luxury finishes of modern dishwashers elevate your kitchen, and may up the resale value of your home as well.

How Much Does a High End Dishwasher Cost?

A high end dishwasher can cost from $1,300 to $5,000.

Is a High End Dishwasher Worth It?

Definitely. A high end dishwasher will elevate the look of your kitchen and help make your time in the kitchen more efficient. High end dishwashers are designed to have a high load capacity, quick wash times and advanced cycles. Features like having a third rack, LED lights and quiet performance set a luxury dishwasher apart from a low-end dishwasher. They allow you to enjoy your washing experience without interruption or lack of space.
