Stainless steel is a game-changing material, and it has been improving appliance performance since its introduction. But how does it affect a dishwasher's efficiency, longevity, and performance? Let's look at the benefits of these durable machines:
- Durability: Stainless steel is a more durable material for your dishwasher, withstanding hot temperatures and water without the threat of cracking like plastic.
- Efficiency: Stainless steel dishwashers require less heat to maintain hot temperatures in your machine. The less heat generated, the more energy and money you save per cycle.
- Quiet Operation: Stainless steel dishwashers absorb noise and vibration better than plastic tubs. They are whisper-quiet and can operate at noise levels as low as 37 dB.
- Easy to Clean: Stainless steel resists food stains over time and is easy to clean and sanitize, keeping your dishwasher healthy and looking good for years.
