What Dishwasher Features are Best for Your Fancy Dishware?

by Pam Silvia

Upon the turn of the decade, when it comes to revamping your kitchen, we say: out with the old and in with the new. Treat yourself to a brand-new dishwasher from Grand Appliance and TV! Stocked with sleek finishes and powerful water pressures, our dishwashers deliver the most hard-hitting washes for your most delicate china and glassware. If your dishwasher can clean any accidental muck from your crystal serving platter without leaving a scratch, you know you’ve got a keeper on your hands.

To preserve your fanciest dishware, here’s a guide for discerning what features to look for in your new dishwasher.

Glass or Crystal

For champagne glasses that sparkle, leave the job to a Thermador Professional Star Sapphire dishwasher! Replete with a large interior capacity, this extravagant dishwasher can wash up to 18 large wine glasses (just in time for your awards season soirées), and it comes with an extra-tall-item sprinkler (so that your Bordeaux glasses don’t get to miss out on the fun).

This model also boasts a Crystal Protection system, ensuring that your fine crystal comes out unscratched when cleaned using the Hand Wash cycle. But wait—there’s more! Its ultra-smooth glide racks move effortlessly without sticking or causing a jarring noise, providing the luxury loading and unloading experience you paid for.

Fine China or Porcelain

Give your fine china the royal treatment with a GE dishwasher that comes with a steam prewash cycle, loosening tough grime and eliminating the need for soaking your dishes prior to a deep clean. Hailed for their Dry Boost technology that gets your items up to 3 times drier than other brands’ drying cycles, GE dishwashers also get to hard-to-reach areas with a three-level pressurized wash system.

While your instinct may be to gingerly hand wash your fragile dishware, think again: GE dishwashers come stocked with a Light/China cycle, taking the dirty work off your hands.

Silverware

Have you ever unloaded your dishwasher to find some stuck-on food bits still stuck on your spoons and forks? Frustrating, right? Well, may we re-introduce you to our aforementioned friend, Mr. GE Dishwasher? In addition to the prewash and Dry Boost features we outlined previously, this other GE Profile model is teeming with dedicated jets that focus on silverware baskets.

What’s more, several GE dishwashers are stocked with a Piranha hard food disposer with stainless-steel blades that are designed to obliterate food particles at 3,600 RPM (revolutions per minute)! In other words, no more muck stuck in the prongs of your forks.
