An injection of steam into your filthy crockery will loosen that welded on Weetabix and sanitise your cutlery. The AquaSteam dishwasher uses 30% less energy too.

White goods seem to be enjoying their very own industrial revolution at the moment with the recent launch of LG’s Steam Direct Drive washing machines, Miele’s hybrid  steam ovens and now Whirlpool’s steam cleaning dishwashers. The advantage here is cleaning power. An injection of steam loosens the hardest encrustations so that the powerful jets can blast your plates clean.

Whirlpool’s dishwashers also have a sixth sense. No, not ESP or the ability to predict the future, but the almost as impressive power to analyse its outgoing water and adjust the amount of detergent and clean water needed to finish the job. This clever feature, along with the economic SuperEco and half load cycles help the ADP8800 6th Sense AquaSteam dishwasher achieve its AAA energy rating.
