What's a dishwasher's favorite kind of TV show? A soap opera.
Why did the dishwasher quit? Because it had a load of other things to do.

All jokes aside, do you know if your dishwasher is an Energy Star?

Find out the energy usage of your dishwasher using the Energy Star program, which is a certification system developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to help consumers identify energy-efficient products. You may even qualify for an energy rebate, find out how at https://www.energystar.gov/products/dishwashers

Dishwashers that meet the Energy Star criteria are rated based on their energy consumption, as well as other factors such as water usage and cleaning performance. To qualify for Energy Star certification, a dishwasher must meet the following energy consumption requirements:

Energy consumption: The dishwasher must use no more than 307 kWh of electricity per year for a standard-size unit and no more than 234 kWh per year for a compact-size unit.

Water consumption: The dishwasher must use no more than 3.5 gallons of water per cycle for a standard-size unit and no more than 2.5 gallons per cycle for a compact-size unit.

Cleaning performance: The dishwasher must meet minimum cleaning performance standards, as tested by a third-party laboratory.

Dishwashers that meet the Energy Star criteria are labeled with an Energy Star logo and a rating that indicates their energy efficiency. These ratings range from the least efficient (1 star) to the most efficient (5 stars).

To compare the energy usage of different dishwashers, look for the Energy Star label and compare the star ratings. A dishwasher with a higher star rating will generally use less energy and water than a dishwasher with a lower rating.

Dishwashers Why ENERGY STAR? A standard-sized ENERGY STAR certified dishwasher costs about $55 per year to run and can save you about 3,850 gallons of water over its lifetime.
