Step 1
Find your price range. Stainless steel interior dishwashers are pricier than those with plastic interiors, but if you shop around you can find them ranging from $200 for used or up to $2,000 or more for new.
-
Step 2
Compare dishwasher brands. Perhaps you favor one stainless steel dishwasher over another because of the color, design and performance that it offers.
-
Step 3
Search for the right size. There are stainless steel dishwashers that are 24 inches in width. There are also smaller, portable sizes and larger sizes, depending on the space of your kitchen. Measure the dimensions of your kitchen space, if necessary, before you buy the stainless steel dishwasher.
-
Step 4
Review the features. Stainless steel dishwashers tend to be quieter, and they're more energy efficient because the interior reflects heat better than machines with plastic interiors. Most stainless steel models have multiple racks for efficiently washing and drying dishes of various types, automatic temperature controls, and special washing and drying cycles.
-
Step 5
Look at other features that you may want. Some stainless steel dishwashers have food disposers, self-cleaning filters or gentle wash cycles for glassware or china.
-
Step 6
Consider buying a warranty when you buy a stainless steel dishwasher. Most brands and dealers offer 1-, 3- or 5-year warranties that cover parts replacement and service.
