Think back to when you were a child and there was a sink full of dirty dishes; it was a chore that everyone dreaded. You’d get out those yellow rubber gloves and it was hand-washing and hand-drying your dishes at its best. Those were the moments that you would stand back and wish that you had the luxury of the dishwasher.

Dishwashers have come a long way since they were invented close to 160 years ago, where they have transitioned from a fringe item to a necessary appliance. The early dishwashers were nowhere near as efficient, functional or innovative as they are today.

Throughout the years, manufacturers have introduced new innovations and features, including pre-soak cycles, better spray arms, removable trays, fold down tines, adjustable racks and improved wash and dry systems. So whether you’re looking to replace an old dishwasher or undergoing a kitchen renovation make sure you don’t get distracted by the newest designs and latest features of the many dishwashers available today.

2017 will see some new dishwasher innovations from Bosch, GE and Whirlpool that make what was once a strange idea to a must-have for your home.

Let’s look at a few of these new innovations that are sure to make waves in the market.

The MyWay™ Rack from Bosch

Introducing the MyWay™ rack from Bosch, the biggest thing to happen to dishwashers. No matter how you like to load your dishes, the MyWay™ rack helps you to do it your way. With the industry’s largest 3rd rack loading capacity (vs. major brands with 3rd rack.), it easily fits those hard-to-place items like cereal bowls and largest utensils. Check out the MyWay™ rack in action below.

The Power of Jets from GE

GE Appliances introduces their unique reversing quad blade lower wash arm. This design has 25 angled jets to provide full wash coverage as it rotates clockwise and counter-clockwise, spraying items from every angle. To put it simply, when the direction of the wash arm changes, the jet pattern and ultimately the wash coverage changes. Watch this video to see what the excitement is all about.

The Silverware Spray Technology from Whirlpool

Get sticky silverware clean the first time, with Whirlpool’s innovative Silverware Spray technology that helps remove stuck-on-food from your utensils. Regardless if you have peanut butter on your knives or oatmeal on your spoons it delivers a concentrated shower of water to the AnyWare™ Plus Silverware Basket to virtually eliminate rewashing. See it in action.

These are just a few of the new innovations that are sure to impress. To see more from these brands, visit Bosch, Whirlpool and GE websites. When you are ready to purchase, to find a Brandsource retailer in your area click here.
