Many dishwashers these days, like this one from Fagor, are ENERGY STAR-rated and are designed to save water, energy and money.

Dinner get-togethers with family and friends can be filled with great food, fantastic drinks, and memories to last a lifetime. But after dinner, the kitchen can be filled with enough dirty plates, glasses, and silverware to last the rest of the night washing by hand.

To avoid laboring in the kitchen any longer than you need to (and to get back to socializing), a dishwasher can be a host’s most valuable fixture.

Today’s dishwashers are more advanced than ever before. They do more work, use less water, and are incredibly efficient. In fact, it’s getting increasingly difficult to find a dishwasher that doesn’t have the celebrated ENERGY STAR label.
