Dishwasher, as a practical appliance to liberate hands and enhance happiness, has gradually become a standard in the kitchen of many families. However, in the face of a dazzling array of models and functions on the market, how to choose a dishwasher that really suits your own needs has puzzled many people. This article will help you make an informed decision by systematically sorting out the key points of dishwasher purchase.

(1)、Capacity matching
The choice of capacity needs to match the actual situation of the family.
1. 1-2 families
For families with 1-2 people, 6-8 sets of capacity models are usually enough for daily use, which can handle daily tableware without taking up too much space.
2. Families of 3-5 people
Families with 3-5 people can consider 10-14 sets of capacity, this model can accommodate more tableware, even including pots, suitable for regular family use.
3.Large family of more than 6 people
For large families with more than 6 people or families that often entertain guests, 16 sets and above are more suitable, and a large number of tableware can be processed at one time to improve efficiency.
(2)、Selection of installation method
Choosing the right dishwasher installation method is the key to achieving high efficiency and aesthetics.

1. Built-in dishwasher
①.Fully embedded: completely hidden in the cabinet, the appearance of the cabinet is completely integrated. It is suitable for users who have high requirements for the overall aesthetics of the kitchen and pursue the effect of "invisible home appliances.
②. Semi-embedded: The body of the dishwasher is embedded in the cabinet, but the control panel (usually located at the top of the front of the machine door) is exposed and visible. Suitable for families that pay attention to convenience (especially the elderly or those with limited mobility), the operation is more intuitive.
③. Lower Recessed: Installed under the countertop of the cabinet (usually replacing the floor cabinet next to the sink), with a countertop cover on the top but exposed on the front. It is suitable for families with limited kitchen space (such as apartments and small apartments) and need to maximize the use of floor cabinet space.
2.Freestanding dishwasher
①. Advantages: flexible installation, buy and use, and more capacity options.
②. Disadvantages: occupying independent space, general aesthetics, unfriendly to the small kitchen.
③. Suitable for families: suitable for families who have completed the decoration, have sufficient kitchen space, do not want to change the cabinet and need a large-capacity dishwasher.
3. Desktop/sink dishwasher
①. Advantages: The easiest to install, suitable for small kitchens that cannot install a large dishwasher.
②. Disadvantages: extremely small capacity, can not wash the pot, and will take up
valuable countertop or sink space.
③. Applicable to families: suitable for families with very small kitchen space, unable to install large dishwashers (such as rental houses, old-fashioned kitchens) or with a small resident population (1-2 people).
(3)、Selection of spray arm quantity
When choosing a dishwasher, the number of spray arms directly determines the coverage and detail of the cleaning.

1. Foundation (1-2 spray arms):
①. Single spray arm: Most common on small or older models. The cleaning power is limited, the scouring effect on the upper bowl basket is weak, and there are dead corners easily.
②. Upper and lower double spray arm: the current mainstream standard. One for rinsing large cutlery and pans at the bottom, and one for cups and saucers at the middle/upper level to take care of the upper basket. The cleaning effect is better than that of single arm, which can meet the needs of most families.
2. Medium and high-end models (3 spray arms):
Upper, middle and lower 3 spray arms: on the basis of double spray arms, special spray arms are added to the top or middle bowl baskets (usually fine washing is carried out for small tableware such as glasses and chopsticks spoons). This is a significant upgrade in the experience, which can greatly reduce the cleaning dead angle, especially suitable for families with dense tableware or often difficult to wash stains.
3. High-end/flagship (4 or more spray arms):
In addition to the 3 main spray arm, auxiliary spray arms or spray points may be added to the inner wall, inside the door panel or at the corner to flush the inner door, corner or specific area, which can achieve complete coverage with almost no dead ends. Suitable for large families with large population who have high requirements for cleaning fineness and often wash large or complex tableware combinations.
