BOSCH BENCHMARK DISHWASHER SERIES
Why We Chose It: This Bosch 800 series dishwasher clocks in at an ultra quiet 40 dB in sound tests. Who It's For: People who want the most luxurious, silent, and high-performance dishwasher on the market. It's worth noting that select models have the Knock2Open feature, which allows for a smooth, handleless front.
BOSCH BENCHMARK DISHWASHER CRACK
By automatically opening the door a crack at the end of the cycle, it not only enhances drying but helps prevent unwanted smells in your dishwasher. It also has the AutoOpen door, which we consider a total hit. Upgrades, like the AutoDos automatic detergent dispenser, glass touch controls, and interior lights, make loading and unloading a much more pleasant task. Why We Chose It: This Miele's got the trifecta: It's the ultimate in quietness, cleaning, and drying. Who It's For: People who don't want to hear a single peep out of their dishwasher. We've even made an informative video with an actual sound test for decibel comparison, with great visuals and a decibel chart. In this guide, we'll highlight the quietest dishwashers on the market today, and we'll explain everything you need to know about judging noise (what is a decibel anyway?) from brand to brand. They definitely don't need to make a lot of noise to wash your dishes well anymore. Today, our favorite dishwasher, the Miele G7566SCViSF, hums along at a super-quiet 38 dB. Suddenly, competing brands throughout the market were scrambling to find ways to make the best dishwashers quieter, and customers took notice. However, in the early 2000s, Bosch dishwashers changed everything with an advertising campaign that touted the brand as the quietest dishwasher in the world.

It seemed that that was simply the way things would always be. Whoa.īack then, you could hear the sound of a dishwasher throughout the house, and there wasn't anything you could do about it. That's roughly the equivalent of a propeller plane flying overhead. But did you know that noise level wasn't a priority for manufacturers until about a decade ago? Before then, most dishwashers whirred at 60 dB or louder. The quietest dishwasher-that's probably right up there with the best cleaning performance on your new dishwasher shopping list.
