For saving money on your dishwashing, this Bosch is great. The A+ efficiency rating means it uses less energy per wash than standard models, so not only can you put your feet up, but it’s only going to cost you £34.27 a year to run. You’d spend double that if you were still washing up by hand.

It’s just as good for saving on water as the Hydrosensor cleverly detects how dirty your plates are, and if they’re only a little grubby, it’ll reuse some – you’ll save enough water to fill two big drinks bottles with every wash. From time to time you’ll need to blast away more stubborn, dried on food, and the Intensive programme makes light work of it. It’s particularly good for sticky, burnt on roasting tins. Or for smaller daily washes of 5 bowls, 2 glasses and a few items of cutlery, it'll get it done in record time with the 29 minute Quick Wash.

It’s built to last as you’d expect from Bosch, which is exactly why it's worth spending that little bit extra. It’s roomy too, as it’ll easily take care of 12 place settings. You’ll fit 12 lots of plates, bowls, cups, glasses and cutlery all at once, so if you’re only clearing up after 4 or 5 people, you’ll have space for extra pots and pans too.

This model is a really great deal. The 60 minute quick wash sets this Hotpoint model apart, as it’ll get a full 12 place setting load clean and dry in an hour. That’s 12 lots of plates, bowls, cutlery and glasses all at once. It’s extremely handy if you need your dishes clean and put away before your guests arrive. 

If you’re just washing your bowls and mugs from breakfast, there’s also a speedier wash which gets them clean in just 25 minutes. That’s fast enough to have your dishes washed before you head out to work in the morning.

It’s extremely savvy with water, using just 12 litres to get a full load clean. When you consider that’s barely enough to half-fill your sink, it’s a huge saving. This dishwasher costs just £34.61 a year to run, which is around half of what it cost to wash by hand too.

With a 12 place setting capacity this Bosch offers the highest quality build as well as enough space to clear up after dinner for 4 or 5. It’ll help you save on your overall wash costs, as it’s earned itself an A+ rating for energy efficiency, and with the ActiveWater, you’ll cut down on your overall water usage too. This really is a savvy dishwasher.

You’re getting a Quick Wash to help you whizz though smaller loads, as well as a Zone Wash option so you can target the specific area you’ve filled. The Height Adjustable Top Basket is means you’ll easily fit any bulky or awkward shaped dishes in there, and with the DosageAssist feature, you’ll maximise your detergent to ensure you get a stunning clean.

A wonderfully well-made dishwasher, this Bosch is excellent value.

If your budget doesn’t stretch to the ones above, then you’ll love this Beko. It’s earned my number 4 position as you're still getting a generous 12 place setting capacity plus the fact it gives you the world’s fastest A rated wash. You'll get a full load done in just 58 minutes with the ‘Quick & Clean’ cycle, which is nearly half the time of a standard cycle. And because it only uses small amounts of energy, you stand to save a few pennies when you use it.

If you fancy turning those pennies into pounds, the 50°C Eco cycle helps cut your energy use down even more. However, if you just need to give your big pots and pans a good blast, the intensive setting ensures you’re never short on firepower. At just 49dB this model is much quieter than the average, so your dishes aren't going to cause you any headaches. A fantastic bargain buy.
