Shop Dishwashers by Type
Dishwasher options typically come down to your plumbing. Choose a built-in if you have an under-counter hookup, or a portable if you do not.
- Built-In Dishwashers: The standard under-counter dishwasher, plumbed into your kitchen and hidden behind the cabinetry. The full-size, everyday choice for most homes.
- Portable Dishwashers: A freestanding dishwasher on wheels that rolls up to the sink, made for kitchens and apartments without a built-in hookup.
Dishwasher Decibel Levels Explained
Dishwasher noise is measured in decibels, listed as dBA on the spec sheet, and lower numbers mean a quieter machine. The difference is easy to hear in an open kitchen or during an overnight cycle. Here is how the range breaks down.
- Under 45 dBA: Very quiet. You will barely know it is running. Best for open floor plans and homes where the kitchen stays in earshot.
- 45 to 50 dBA: Quiet. A comfortable level for most kitchens, and where many mid-priced models land.
- Above 50 dBA: Audible. You will hear it across the room, which is common on more budget-friendly models.
If a silent kitchen matters to you, aim for the low 40s. Our team can point you to the quietest models on the floor.
Dishwasher Brands at Silica
Most people shop dishwashers by brand, and each one leans a little different. Here is what the lines Silica carries are known for.
- Whirlpool: Our most-requested dishwasher brand, with a broad lineup of quiet, third-rack models across price points.
- GE and GE Profile: A range from simple front-control units to smart, top-control models with strong drying.
- Bosch: Quiet operation and flexible racks, a common pick for open-concept kitchens where sound carries. Check out why Bosch dishwashers are a top choice for modern Wisconsin kitchens.
- KitchenAid: Heavy-duty cleaning and drying for kitchens that run full loads.
- Maytag: Durable, straightforward dishwashers built to last.
There is more on the floor than a short list can hold. See every brand we carry, or ask the team at our Wisconsin showrooms which one fits what you are after.
Shop Dishwashers by Feature
Once you have a type and a brand in mind, features are how you fine-tune the fit. They shape the things you notice every day, from how dry your dishes come out to how much fits in a single load and how quietly it all runs. Filter by the ones that matter most to you.
- Energy Star: Certified to use less water and electricity than standard models, without giving up cleaning power.
- Fully Integrated Controls: Controls hidden on the top edge of the door, so the front stays a clean panel with no buttons showing when it is closed.
- Stainless Steel Tub: Holds heat for faster, better drying and resists stains and odors over time.
- Tall Tub: A taller interior that adds capacity and clearance for large plates, pots, and platters.
- WiFi Enabled: Connect the dishwasher to your phone to start, monitor, or delay a cycle from anywhere.
- Sabbath Mode: A setting that keeps the dishwasher running for the Sabbath and religious holidays, with the tones and display lights turned off.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dishwashers
What is the best dishwasher?
The best dishwasher is the one that fits how you cook and your kitchen. If quiet matters most, look for models in the low 40s dBA. For better drying, a stainless steel tub with a heated or fan-assisted dry cycle helps. For capacity, a tall tub and a third rack go a long way. Whirlpool, Bosch, GE, KitchenAid, and Maytag all have strong options across price points. Our guide to the best dishwashers breaks down top picks by need, and our team can match you to the right one in person.
What size dishwasher do I need?
Standard dishwashers are 24 inches wide. For tight kitchens, 18-inch compact models fit where a full-size one will not. Measure the width, depth, and height of your opening before you shop, and ask about ADA-height options if you need one. If you’ve got a big family, check out our blog on the top dishwashers for large families.
What is a drawer dishwasher?
A drawer dishwasher cleans dishes in one or two pull-out drawers instead of a single large tub. A single drawer suits small loads and tight kitchens, and a double drawer lets you run two loads on separate cycles, or just one when you do not need the full capacity. Drawers also sit higher, so there is less bending to load and unload. Ask our team which drawer models Silica carries.
Does Silica deliver, install, and remove old dishwashers?
Yes. Our own team delivers and installs your new dishwasher, and we haul away and recycle the old one at no charge.
