Is it too big for your needs?When choosing your new dishwasher, in addition to the standard features that you consider such as price, place settings and will it look good in my kitchen please also look carefully at energy efficiency and water efficiency.

Evidently Britain uses more water per head than any other European country and with weather patterns changing and the cost of recycling water getting more expensive in terms of both cost and the environment, we need to change our usage patterns.

Action plan: make sure that the dishwasher is full and perhaps soak heavily soiled pots 'n pans prior to washing, look for dishwashers that have wash programmes that allow for half loads or, if you are only a two person household, consider a smaller place setting dishwasher.

As per the new WEEE legislation, electronic goods have to be disposed of by specialist contractors. Many retailers offer a service to pick up large appliances and electrical items on a like for like basis,i.e. buy a new television and they will pick up your old one on delivery. The prices charged for this disposal service varies between shops.

The table below illustrates the disposal charges for the major high street retailers, and are an important consideration along with delivery charges:

Generally, the only condition for pick up for disposal of the appliance is that the appliance is disconnected, and in the case of fridges or freezers, also defrosted. In most instances, the pick up is arranged at the time of ordering the product and arranging the delivery time The main things to consider are:
  • Budget
  • User reviews
  • Reliability of brand & Best Buy (source Which?)
  • Energy efficiency - the more efficient, the cheaper to run
  • Size of machine - do you wash for a large family or just yourself
  • Will it fit or do you need a compact dishwasher?
  • Recycle your old dishwasher
