But before we find the reason why are dishwashers so expensive..
This is what Pepa said…
I recently moved out of my parents’ house, and the first culture shock I encountered…
…was the cost of a dishwasher. I wasn’t aware of it before because my mother…
…is in control of everything at home. Now that I’ve made the decision…
…to be more independent, I need to take care of things on my own.
I am quite aware of what my mother has been through.
Commencing with the purchase of my own dishwasher.
A dishwasher is a machine used to clean dishware, cookware and cutlery automatically. Unlike manual dishwashing, which relies heavily on physical scrubbing to remove soiling, the mechanical dishwasher cleans by spraying hot water, typically between 45 and 75 °C (110 and 170 °F), at the dishes, with lower temperatures used for delicate items.

Now, why are dishwasher so expensive?
Let’s get it started..
Dishwasher
A dishwasher is a machine that automatically cleans dishware…
…cookware, and cutlery. Unlike manual dishwashing…
…which is highly reliant on physical scrubbing to remove soiling…
…a mechanical dishwasher cleans by spraying hot water at the dishes…
…generally between 45 and 75 °C (110 and 170 °F)…
…with lower temperatures utilized for delicate goods.
The spray pattern can be directed through holes in the racks…
…or directly onto the bottom of the rack. This process is commonly…
…referred to as “spraying” the dishes. The heated water may also be sprayed…
…onto the dishes after being circulated through a warm-up cycle.
A typical domestic dishwasher has a capacity of up to 50–60 l of wash liquor.
The first dishwashers were introduced around 1900, but they did not…
…become widespread until the 1940s when World War II made…
…mass production possible. Since then, dishwashers have become…
…a standard household appliance.

Why Are Dishwashers So Expensive?
Over $1,000! Additionally, there are a few features, technologies…
…and aesthetic materials that contribute to the price…
…which ranges between around $300 and $1,500.
Here we will discusses the factors that contribute to the high cost of dishwashers.
To begin, Let Us Consider The Aesthetics.
One of the most noticeable distinctions, at least to the untrained consumer eye…
…is that more expensive machines are finished in stainless steel…
…(as is the case with virtually every other appliance category).
And, in the case of dishwashers, this coveted material is often seen…
…on higher-end machines both outside and inside, with stainless racks rather…
…than more standard-issue PVC racks.
Racks and a Variety of Storage Solutions
Speaking of racks, if they are not stainless steel, the more expensive…
…machines almost certainly have sturdier nylon racks (instead of PVC).
These racks typically offer more adjustable arrangements…
…such as retractable tines, specific tray-like chambers for flatware…
…and other characteristics that make it easier to accommodate odd-shaped goods.
Numerous Dishwashing Settings
Naturally, even a $300 entry-level appliance will thoroughly clean your dishes…
…with options for standard wash, pots and pans, and rinse…
…(useful between cycles to save you the trouble of hand-rinsing everything).
However, spending more money enables you to have even better…
…or more efficient cleaning methods, such as steam-prewash…
…which effectively removes crustiness. Additionally, you’ll have additional jets…
…that are geared to reach into every crevice of things, particularly those…
…on the top rack or in the silverware basket. As prices rise, additional cycles…
…will appear, such as “sanitize,” which warms the water to around…
…155 degrees to eliminate bacteria.
How Loud It Is
Another obvious difference is that top-of-the-line dishwashers are nearly silent…
…they operate at less than 40 dBA (the unit used to measure appliance noise)…
…or just above an audible whisper. By comparison, less expensive versions…
…may reach up to 60 dBA, or around the level of regular speech…
…which means you may have to compete for dialogue…
…during post-dinner talks in the kitchen.
Connectivity To The Internet
High-end dishwashers are no exception in today’s connected society.
For instance, GE Appliances’ premium models may automatically…
…reorder detergent from Amazon once they’ve counted enough…
…wash cycles and “know” you’re running out.
(If having your inanimate items spend your money is too strange for you…
…you may connect it to an app that will remind you to make the purchase.)
Other high-tech features include soil sensors that assess the amount…
…of washing required based on the load’s dirtiness and floor sensors…
…that detect whether the machine is leaking.
Once you get beyond the entry-level versions, the controls become all digital…
…and the Wi-Fi-connected machines may be started remotely via an app.
Sum Up
Dishwasher prices range from about $300 to over $1,200.
Prices are affected by many factors such as the brand, model…
…technology, and materials used in manufacturing.
Why are dishwashers so expensive?
First, the aesthetics.
The racks and various storage options.
A multiplicity of dishwashing settings.
How quiet (or noisy) it is.
The ability to connect to the internet.
Conclusion
In general, you can think of dishwashers like a Kickstarter campaign…
The more you pay, the more perks you get. What do you think about it?
