Dishwashers

For a family of four, a dishwasher can saves you more than 200 hours of hand washing each year.

Dishwashers use revolving spray arms to gently spray a mixture of water and detergent over your dirty dishes, cutlery, glassware, pots and pans. Their filtration systems trap food particles, and the dishwasher rinses and dries your cookware.

Most of us also consider the money and energy cost. A typical family’s use can cost some $100 and generate up to 1 tonne of greenhouse gas emissions a year. Our Origin shops can provide you with energy saving tips, including:

  • Run the dishwasher only when full
  • Use the economy cycle, or remove large food particles and run shorter washes
  • Stop the dishwasher before the drying cycle and open the door for air-drying
  • Connect to cold water
  • Clean the filter after each wash
  • Load according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Our experts will listen and talk you through options for the size, style and brand of dishwasher that will suit your needs .

Dishwashers

Save your time and effort ... 
  Use your dishwasher once a day for a family of four and you can save more than 200 hours of your time a year.

How dishwashers work
An automatic dishwasher sprays a mixture of very hot water and detergent, under gentle pressure, over your dirty dishes, cutlery, pots, pans and glassware.

The washing action is created by revolving spray-arms, which have small jets through which the water is forced into a fine pressure spray. The multi-directional spray system sprays water into every nook and cranny of the wash ware, removing food particles and stubborn solids.

The filtration system traps any food particles during recirculation of the wash water. After a series of wash and rinse operations, the wash ware is dried within the cabinet.
