1. Best Overall: Hitachi Dishwasher with 14 Place Settings
Pros
- Choose from six wash programs
- Quiet appliance
- Includes child lock
- Features a Hygiene Care function
Cons
- No cutlery drawer
Perfect for families, Hitachi’s Inox dishwasher features 14 place settings and six washing programs, including Eco, Glass Care, and a Rapid 58 setting, which you can switch on if you’re in a hurry. There’s also a Hygiene Care function that increases the water temperature to at least 60°C, with an additional 30 minutes in a hot rinse cycle at a minimum of 70°C, with the aim of sanitising your cutlery and getting rid of bacteria and other germs. You can also use the specialised zone, located in the bottom rack, to conduct a Turbo Wash cycle on dishes with stains that are usually hard to remove. This feature creates a powerful cleaning zone with intense water pressure, for five times better cleaning performance. The best part about this appliance is that it uses an inverter motor for more energy efficient washing that’s done quietly, without disturbing you if you’re in the same room. Do note that while there is no separate sliding drawer for cutlery, reviewers find the cutlery basket to be spacious enough for daily use.
Bonus: Buy this product with four interest-free payments of Dh362.25 with tabby or tamara.
Warranty: The manufacturer provides one-year warranty. Eros offers one-year extended warranty for Dh144.90 and two-year extended warranty for Dh217.35.
2. Best Large Capacity: Hitachi Diswasher with 15 Place Settings
Pros
- Spacious interiors
- Choose from eight wash programs
- Flexible cutlery drawer included
- Auto-open door
- Quiet appliance
Cons
- Expensive
A sleek, roomy option for larger families, this Hitachi dishwasher allows up to 15 place settings. Select from eight washing programs, including Auto, Intensive, Eco and Rapid 58. Like our previous pick, you’ll find the Hygiene Care function here, as well – a useful function to eliminate up to 99.9 per cent of bacteria and viruses via a high-temperature steam wash. Thanks to its inverter motor technology, this appliance operates quietly, at 43 decibels, and is energy efficient. Reviewers like that it offers a slew of useful features – from child lock and adjustable racks and compartments, to an auto-open function that causes the door to nudge open once the wash cycle is done. This improves its drying efficiency, by circulating fresh air. There’s also a flexible cutlery drawer that is a bonus to the existing sliding cutlery basket – this means double the space for post-party cutlery clean-up. Although the dishwasher is on the pricier side, overall, it’s a spacious, versatile appliance that’s ideal for large households.
Bonus: Buy this product with four interest-free payments of Dh599.81 with tabby or tamara.
Warranty: The manufacturer provides one-year warranty. Eros offers one-year extended warranty for Dh239.93 and two-year extended warranty for Dh359.89.
