Wash cycles: Most dishwashers come with a variety of wash cycles to choose from, such as normal, heavy-duty, light, and quick wash.

Racks: Dishwashers typically have two or three racks for placing dishes, glasses, utensils, and other kitchenware.

Spray arms: These are rotating arms that spray water and detergent onto the dishes to clean them.

Filters: Dishwashers have filters that trap food particles and prevent them from clogging the drain.

Drying options: Some dishwashers offer different drying options, such as heated dry or air dry.

Delay start: This feature allows you to set the dishwasher to start at a later time, so you can take advantage of off-peak energy rates or have the dishwasher finish after you leave for work.

Child lock: Dishwashers with child locks prevent children from accidentally turning on the dishwasher or opening it mid-cycle.

Energy efficiency: Many dishwashers are designed to be energy-efficient, which can save you money on your utility bills.

Noise level: Some dishwashers are quieter than others, which can be important if you have an open-plan kitchen or want to run the dishwasher at night.

Capacity: Dishwashers come in different sizes and capacities, so you can choose one that suits your family’s needs.
