What are the benefits of a quiet dishwasher?
A quiet dishwasher provides peace of mind in the kitchen that enables consumers to concentrate on other tasks in the kitchen, and even elsewhere around the house. For those who benefit from a library-like environment when focused on a task, a quiet dishwasher can make a significant impact.
The noise coming from your dishwasher doesn’t clean dishes, so the question is, “What is the benefit of quiet?” You should be able to choose what you listen to. Even if you have the liveliest of families, your home is still your sanctuary. Just because we accumulate helpful machines and appliances to improve our living experience doesn’t mean your home should sound like a factory. Heating, air conditioning, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, fans, etc. all contribute to the noise pollution in your home. It’s your sanctuary. Listen to family, music, television, movies – not appliances.
What are the potential trade-offs if you choose a quiet dishwasher?
There should be none. A well-built dishwasher like the Sharp SDW6767HS is a quiet 45dBA because it is fortified and insulated. It is a matter of soundproofing, not sacrificing performance, power, or speed.
Does having a quiet dishwasher impact cycle speed?
We can’t speak for every dishwasher in the world, but Sharp dishwashers are quiet because they are well-built, and insulated which contributes to the soundproofing. Sharp dishwashers don’t have a dedicated “quiet” cycle to establish the dBA. Our noise levels are measured using the Auto cycle.
Does the noise level of the dishwasher impact the price?
Noise level is sometimes used by appliance retailers to bump prices up, but it’s important for consumers to understand and be aware of the nuances of noise levels. Anything below 52dBA is already considered very quiet for dishwashers. If you are looking at a 45dBA dishwasher that does everything you want, think long and hard before paying extra for a 40dBA model. Most people wouldn’t notice a 5dBA difference, so be careful you are not overpaying for this feature.
While you will not see a difference in performance, power, or speed, choosing a quiet dishwasher can make all the difference in your home. Focus on the things that matter to you, not the noise coming from your appliances.
