Types of Dishwashers 

While they may all look the same, dishwashers can come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and functionalities! Whether you want a dishwasher the blends into your kitchen cabinetry or a dishwasher with drawers for ease of use, you can explore a wide range of options at Betta to find the perfect fit for you! 

 

Freestanding Dishwashers 

 

Designed with its installation method and flexibility in mind, a Freestanding Dishwasher is able to be slotted in within most dishwasher nooks. Given their freestanding nature, they can also be stand alone in other areas, such as next to the benchtop as opposed to under it. This flexibility means that you can easily remove and move around your freestanding dishwasher so that you can take it with you, wherever you go. 

 

Built-In Dishwashers 

Built-In Dishwashers on the other hand, are meant to be installed snug in the dedicated dishwasher spot. Once installed, a built-in dishwasher is designed to look seamless and as part of the kitchen cabinetry, and not simply slotted in. Unlike Freestanding dishwashers, Built-In models cannot be removed and taken with you. 

 

Drawer Dishwashers 

Drawer dishwashers are a popular choice for those looking for easy access that seamlessly blends into your kitchen cabinetry. Instead of folding out with one door, dishdrawer dishwashers often feature a top and bottom drawer, with both sliding out individually allowing you to organise and streamline your dishwashing packing skills. Designed for underbench installation, these sleek and timeless dishwashers allow for flexible racking and internal shelves to suit your washing needs. 

  

 

Choosing an Efficient Dishwasher 

What are the signs of an efficient dishwasher? 

To ensure that they are up to standard, dishwashers are all tested for energy and water efficiency. As a guide, on a scale of 5 stars, the greater the stars, the efficiency of the dishwasher.  

 

These ratings are split into two types of ratings: 

  • Energy rating: This is used to measure the overall energy efficiency of the dishwasher. 
  • WELS (water efficiency rating): Used to rate the overall water efficiency of the dishwasher. 

 

 

When purchasing a dishwasher, opting for a model that features an Energy and WELS rating of 3.5-Stars and above is best, with an easily accessible filter to help ensure ease of routine maintenance. 

 

How To Use A Dishwasher Efficiently 

If you’re goal is to cut the energy bills, it starts with choosing energy efficient appliances! However, while the efficiency of your dishwasher makes a big difference, so does the efficiency of your routine. Check out the simple steps you can take to make sure you are saving as much energy as possible. 

 

  1. Only run your dishwasher when full, not when there’s a half load. 
  2. Choose your cycle according to your needs, for example lower temperatures and shorter cycles are more efficient. 
  3. Where possible, run the ‘eco’ or ‘energy saving’ cycle. 
  4. If the dishwasher allows, instead of running the drying cycle, let dishes air dry  Clean the dishwasher filter regularly for optimal performance. 
  5. Consider running your dishwasher during off-peak times like late at night to save on energy costs  

  

Essential Dishwasher Features & Functions 

There are several key dishwasher features to look out for that will ensure you can enjoy the most efficient and convenient dishwasher for everyday use. These include: 

 

  • Fast/Express Programs: for shorter wash cycles or smaller loads, run fast programs that will typically provide results in under an hour.  
  • Hygienic /Steam Wash Cycle: the use of high water temperatures and steam during the wash helps to eliminate harmful germs and bacteria from dishes for healthier food prep, cooking and eating at home.  
  • Flexible Baskets & Supports: enjoy greater flexibility of placement with customisable baskets and support features. Look out for height-adjustable baskets that lets you make more space for bulkier items and cookware, as well as glassware supports which keeps them in place for safer and breakage-free washing.  
  • Fan Assisted Drying: by the use of an internal fan, dishwashers are able to deliver dried dishes after washing so you can pop them straight into your cupboards.  
  • Tip: Keep an eye out for dishwashers that automatically open after a cycle to use air to naturally and efficiently enhance drying.  
  • Delay Start: load now and schedule the wash cycle to run based on when you want it to finish. Great for when you want clean dishes, ready when you are – after you’ve come back from the shops or in time the next morning. 

 

How To Install a Dishwasher 

The installation requirements for your new dishwasher will depend on the type and model. Often freestanding dishwashers can easily be installed and set up by yourself – with the provisions of installation instructions being provided within the product packaging. However, if you’re still unsure on what steps to take, we always recommend that a licenced and experienced plumber installs the water connections and drain hoses of your dishwasher. Built-In Dishwashers will almost always require the expertise of a plumber and cabinetmaker to ensure that the dishwasher fits within the cabinetry of your kitchen.  

  

Steps to Installing an Inlet and Drain Hose for your Dishwasher 

Looking to connect your inlet and drain host into your dishwasher? The following guide outlines step-by-step instructions on how to connect your dishwasher – however, it’s important to remember – if you are at any point unsure of the process, it is best to contact a licensed plumber to avoid damage. 

  1. Make sure the dishwasher is switched off and disconnected from the power before installation.  
  2. Ensure that the dishwasher is close to a water tap and drain.  
  3. Installing the inlet: Thread the dishwasher’s hose through the cabinet’s cut out, checking that there’s no twists or bends.  
  4. Connect and secure the water supply inlet hose to the water inlet tap. Then turn on the tap and check for leaks.  
  5. To install the drainage hose, install into a sink drain pipe branch. Note: the branch should be above the trap so that the bend is at least 50mm above the floor.  
  6. Use the dishwasher’s supplied drain hose and ensure that there’s no twists.  
  7. Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clamp. If the drain is new, drill out the drain spigot.  
  8. Both the inlet and drain hose is now connected and your dishwasher is ready to use!   

How To Clean a Dishwasher 

As the cleaner of your dishes, it’s equally important that your dishwasher remains clean as well. Without a clean dishwasher, food blockages can quickly pile up creating long term performance, efficiency and maintenance issues down the line. So, what is the best way to keep your dishwasher clean? Clean and wipe down the exterior with a cleaning agent of your choice using a soft cloth 

  • Remove and clean the dishwasher filter on a regular basis: simply rinse in warm water and use a soft brush to scrub off collected particles  
  • Run a dishwasher cleaning tablet or liquid every few months to clean the interior of the dishwasher  
  • If not using cleaning tablets or liquids, run a hot wash cycle with a cup of vinegar on the top rack  
  • Remove accessories like the cutlery basket or tray and scrub with a soft brush or toothbrush to remove any stuck-on food particles

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between semi-integrated and fully integrated dishwashers?

You may have heard of ‘integrated’ dishwashers, but there are actually two key styles. Semi-integrated dishwashers have a visible control panel at the top of the door, while the rest of the front is covered with a cabinet panel that is designed to blend into your kitchen. Fully integrated dishwashers, on the other hand, have their controls hidden on the inside of the door panel, allowing the entire front to be covered to completely blend into your kitchen cabinetry.

Do I need a dishwasher?

Whether dishwashers are worth it may depend on who you ask. Busy, growing households with regular home cooking lifestyles will often benefit from the time-saving results of dishwashers. Featuring advanced technologies and energy efficient motors, dishwashers are equipped to deliver washing results that can help save time, effort and consumption of resources when compared to hand washing. Not only that, with more high temperature and steam enhanced washing programs, dishwashers are able to provide hygienic washing results that ensure peace of mind.

How long should a dishwasher last?

The lifespan of your dishwasher can vary based on a wide range of factors. On average, dishwashers can typically last around 10-years, however this will change based on the frequency of use, type of dishwasher, and overall quality of maintenance. A dishwasher that is used often may start to show signs of minor issues a few years in, so it’s worth investing in a careful cleaning and maintenance routine to keep the dishwasher in its best shape. Check out cleaning tips above to figure out which cleaning routine works best for you.



Want greater peace of mind about your dishwasher’s life expectancy? Each dishwasher comes with a warranty period – based on its brand and manufacturer guarantee. The longer the warranty, the greater your peace of mind as you’ll know that you’re covered for many years to come.

Are dishwashers hygienic?

Put simply, dishwashers produce cleaning results that are much more hygienic than handwashing. Since dishwashers have the ability to use hot water with incredibly high temperatures and effectively dissolve detergent, washing with a dishwasher will ultimately ensure greater peace of mind.




This means that for sanitary washing needs like cleaning storage jars, sterilising baby bottles, and removing germs and bacteria from dishes when there’s illness in the household, dishwashers are the safest option, ensuring that germs and bacteria are thoroughly disinfected.
