10 Best Dishwashers of 2026

The Bosch 800 Series SHP78CM5N ranks first because it combines the drying and noise figures most replacement buyers ask about with a mid-range price. Bosch lists it at $1,499.00 on its US store, rates it at 42 dBA and pairs its PrecisionWash system with CrystalDry, which Bosch says gives 20x drier dishes. The Flexible 3rd Rack holds utensils, the EasyGlide racks slide on rollers, and the 16 place setting tub runs five programs including Speed 60. Home Connect adds remote start plus extra programs such as Half Load and Machine Care, and the sanitize option is NSF certified. AquaStop leak protection is listed. The trade-offs: Bosch shows no water softener or detergent detection, and the store listed it as out of stock when we checked, so you may need a dealer. Measure the opening before you order: the required cutout is 33 7/8 by 24 by 24 inches. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

Samsung's Bespoke DW80B7070US is the strongest value among the quiet, connected models here. Samsung's US store lists it at $1,099.00 as of November 2026, which is $400 below the Bosch 800 Series for the same 42 dBA rating. The wash side uses StormWash+, and drying relies on Smart Dry with an AutoRelease Door that opens near the end of the cycle to let steam out. Wi-Fi lets you follow cycles from a phone, and the model is ENERGY STAR certified. It comes in fingerprint resistant stainless steel with a bar or recessed handle. The limits: Samsung's product page shows less detail than Bosch's spec table, so confirm place settings, tub material and cutout size in the installation guide before you order, and treat the price as a promotion that may end. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

The Bosch 300 Series SHP65DM5N gives you most of the 800 Series for $250 less: Bosch lists it at $1,249.00. It has the same 16 place settings, stainless steel tub, AquaStop leak protection, NSF certified sanitize option and 33 7/8 by 24 by 24 inch cutout, so a buyer can choose between the two without remeasuring. The differences are in noise and drying. The 300 Series is rated at 44 dBA instead of 42 dBA and uses AutoAir, which Bosch says gives 10x drier dishes, rather than CrystalDry. A fixed Zone Wash program targets one area with what Bosch calls 3x more water power for stuck-on food. Home Connect Wi-Fi is included. We did not see a third rack in its highlights, so households that load lots of utensils should compare it with the 800 Series. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

The Frigidaire Gallery GDSH4715AF is the value pick for replacement buyers who want a stainless steel tub without paying Bosch prices. Frigidaire's US store lists it at $849, down from $949, in either a pocket or a bar handle. CleanBoost premixes detergent before the wash, and a fan pushes moisture out and pulls fresh air in to dry dishes. Frigidaire rates it at 47 dBA and says it saves over 4000 gallons of water a year. The product page also offers two upgrades: the GDSH4735AF at 45 dBA with Adaptive Quick Wash for $899, and the PDSH4816BF for $949. What you give up is quiet and connectivity: 47 dBA is louder than the top three, and the page lists no Wi-Fi. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

The Miele G 7216 SCU is the premium choice here, and Miele USA's 2026 price book lists it at $1,999. It earns the highest quality score for its spec list: a built-in water softener, which no other model here lists, AutoOpen Drying with SensorDry, AutoSensor load sensing, a Double Waterproof System and a 3D MultiFlex Cutlery Tray. Miele rates it at 42 dBA with 16 standard place settings and 230 kWh of annual energy use. Programs include Normal, SaniWash, QuickIntenseWash, Pots & Pans, Rinse & Hold and China & Crystal, with an Intense Zone option. The controls are DirectSelect on the front. The value score is the lowest of the verified models because it costs $500 more than the Bosch 800 Series, and the price book does not list Miele@home Wi-Fi for this model. Households with hard water get the most from it. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

LG's LDPM6762S suits replacement buyers who want app support and a flexible top rack. LG's US store lists it at $1,249.00 in Print Proof stainless steel. QuadWash Pro uses high-pressure jets that LG says have 38% more cleaning power than its standard QuadWash, and Dynamic Dry handles drying. The third rack adjusts in height, so it can take long flatware or small cups, and EasyRack Plus aims to fit more dishes per load. ThinQ Care sends usage, maintenance and diagnostic alerts to a smartphone, and Remote Start lets you begin a cycle from the app. It is ENERGY STAR certified. Two gaps kept it out of the top three: the product page we fetched did not state a dBA rating or a place setting count, and at the same price the Bosch 300 Series publishes both. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

The KitchenAid KDTM404KPS is the capacity pick. KitchenAid says its 7.25 cu. ft. MaxTub is the largest dishwasher tub by usable volume, and more than 50 jets across four wash arms cover all three racks. The 360 Max Jets Third Rack has jets that clean mugs and bowls inside and out and fits 10 extra glasses and mugs compared with KitchenAid's KDTE204K models. True Self-Cleaning Filtration captures food particles and cleans itself as the dishwasher drains, so there is no filter to scrub. It is rated at 44 dBA and comes in PrintShield stainless steel. We could not read a USD price as page text from our location, so its value score is conservative; check the price on kitchenaid.com or at a dealer before comparing it with Bosch. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

Samsung's DW80CG4021SRAA is the cheapest dishwasher on this list with a verified price: $649.00 on Samsung's US store as of November 2026. For that you get a fingerprint resistant stainless steel front, a height-adjustable rack, a digital leak sensor, an Express 60 cycle and ENERGY STAR certification. The compromises are clear from the listing. At 53 dBA it is the loudest model here, 11 dB above the Bosch 800 Series, and it uses a hybrid tub rather than a full stainless steel tub. There is no Wi-Fi in the listing. It makes most sense when a dishwasher fails in a rental, a closed kitchen or a home you plan to sell, where low cost matters more than quiet. If your kitchen is open to the living room, the $849 Frigidaire Gallery at 47 dBA is the better step up. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

The Maytag MDB8959SKZ is for households that want to load dirty plates straight from the table. Maytag's Dual Power Filtration pairs 100% microfiltration with a 4-blade stainless steel chopper, and the PowerBlast cycle uses high-pressure jets and hotter water for dried-on food. The 3rd Level Rack has its own wash zone, and Maytag says its 7.25 cu. ft. MaxTub is the largest capacity tub on the market by usable volume. The Leak Identification System stops filling, drains the tub and alerts you if it detects most types of leaks. Maytag backs the racks, chopper blade and stainless steel tub with a 10-Year Limited Parts Warranty, the longest parts coverage on this list. It is rated at 47 dBA. We could not read a USD price as page text from our location, so its value score is conservative. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.

Whirlpool's WDT730HAMZ is a plain, well-documented replacement. It holds up to 14 place settings and adds a 3rd Rack that Whirlpool says gives 35% more rack space than its models without one. The 2nd rack raises and lowers for water bottles, the lower rack has folding tines, and Fan Drying Technology handles drying in this hybrid tub model. Cycles include Boost, Extended Soak, Heavy, Normal and Quick Wash, with High Temperature Wash, Heated Dry, Extended Dry and a Sani Rinse option that Whirlpool says is certified by UL to eliminate 99.999% of food soil bacteria. It is rated at 51 dBA, which is louder than every other model here except the Samsung DW80CG4021SRAA. The tub is dark gray plastic with a stainless steel inner door. We could not read a USD price as page text from our location, so its value score is conservative. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.
