Ready to say goodbye to dish-pan hands and those dreaded yellow gloves with a brand new dishwasher? Of course you are, but wait a minute. Make sure you select the right dishwasher or you’ll be back to the yellow gloves again. That’s because a lot of dishwashers don’t do the best job of cleaning. Here are three areas to look at when selecting a new dishwasher.

1. Dish Load - To get the best wash, make sure dishes load easily because more space with less crowding means cleaner dishes. Standard dishwashers have a minimum of two racks but more models are expanding and some include small racks that latch to firmly hold wine glasses.

2. Hard Food Disposal – the thought of scraping dishes grosses most people out but you can bypass this unpleasant task by choosing a dishwasher with a garborator installed directly in the unit.

3. Performance – a dishwasher is only as good as the final outcome of the dishes it cleans. The number of washing cycles and how the water flows during the washing cycle makes a big difference too. More washing levels provide cleaner coverage for dishes.
