Dishwasher buying guide

Built-in Dishwasher

Most commonly installed, this dishwasher slides perfectly into the allocated kitchen space, typically under the benchtop to create a specifically designed custom-built look. Built-in dishwashers can be integrated (concealed behind cabinetry) or semi-integrated (concealed with the front control panel visible).

Spotless glassware every time


Let your special occasion glasses become any occasion glasses, with Electrolux’s SoftGrip rubber clamps that gently secure wine glass stems, while the SoftSpikes support against unwanted tilting. Combined with a dedicated glass washing program, sparkling glassware is guaranteed.

Save washing time

Electrolux dishwashers come with the TimeManager function that can reduce the duration of a selected program by approximately 50%. This is achieved by increasing the pressure and temperature of the water to deliver great results in half the time. 

Status check from a distance

Beam-on-Floor informs the status of your wash program so that you can easily see when it's time to unload. A red spot means that the program is still in progress, while a green spot means that it is completed. 

Energy efficiency

The AutoFlex feature adjusts wash settings by using sensors to deliver a tailored cycle for the load according to soil level. This saves times, energy, and water. 

Freestanding Dishwasher

With an exposed exterior and control panel, these standalone designs don’t need to be built into your kitchen. The moveable design means they can be placed anywhere with water and drainage access. Available in three finishes (stainless steel, white or black), freestanding dishwashers also come in multiple size variations suiting most allocated kitchen dishwasher spaces.

Blast bacteria


Electrolux’s ExtraHygiene setting blasts the dishwasher contents with a final rinse cycle temperature known to kill 99.99% of bacteria, for clean and sanitised dishes, glasses, pots, pans and more.

Pack away your tea towels


Maximise your drying performance with the natural airflow offered by Electrolux’s AirDry technology. At the end of the wash cycle, the door automatically opens by 10cm, allowing moist, hot air to escape and fresh airflow to enter, aiding items in drying faster and spotlessly.

Run your dishwasher whenever it suits you

With the Delay Start function, you can get your dishwasher to work whenever you want it to and program it to start at the time that suits your schedule. The start can be delayed by up to 24 hours.

Tailored cycles

Depending on the dirt level of the dishes, you can choose one of many preset cycles, such as Eco 50°, Quick Plus 60°, and Intensive 70°. These dedicated wash cycles ensure perfect cleaning efficiently, bringing you a cleaner kitchen.

Improved efficiency

The Eco Program is the most efficient program for water and energy consumption, which is optimal for cleaning normally soiled tableware.

Add more during the cycle

The height of the upper basket can be easily adjusted so that you can clean any tall and bulky items of any height.

5. Dishwasher connection

You’ll need to consider three connections as part of the installation process. Your dishwasher will need a power supply, washing water supply, as well as wastewater drainage. If this is outside your remit, having yours installed and connected by a professional is the best option.

6. Dishwasher installation

The standard size for a dishwasher is 600mm wide, 820mm high and 600mm deep, but it’s critical you measure both the space you have available and the dimensions of the dishwasher precisely. Also consider rear ventilation and your ‘air gap’, the most effective method to protect your dishwasher from flooding with wastewater, something professional installers or plumbers can help with.
