WHAT IS THE MONTHLY COST OF USING A DISHWASHER in India | Water and Electricity Usage of Dishwasher

[@AtulKumar-sw6fc]

Very timely review. People are fast realising that dishwasher is a real help.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Thank you so much!

Fantastic analysis, not seen anyone looking at consumer products so minutely. You should have your own Appliances show. Kudos.

Hi Swapnil! You are too kind :D And that's the best thing I've heard today. Thanks so much!

[@antony3604]

Very much needed for me as i am planning a dishwasher for my family. Getting a house maid is difficult now a days and retention of the maid is another concern. You have nicely explained.

[@KrishnaSmily]

I started watching recently for my home in abroad and became a fan… u r not just women… much knowledgeable than men i believe… ❤

[@parul2002]

Thanks for detailed explaination. One question: the cost that you have shared depends upon using dishwasher once a day or two times a day? For how long, you let the dishwasher running in one time, is it one hour? According to some videos, sometimes utensils don't get clean properly in one hour so may require to run for 2 hours at one go, that would change electricity cost, please help with your experience on it. Which dishwasher do you use (in this video)?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Parteek Dhawan! It's per use of the dishwasher, once a day. And I've taken the consumption per cycle - so even if the cycle takes let's say 2 hours or 2.5 hours, the electric and water consumption is for that full cycle.

[@vb4353]

Whiich brand dishwasher do you use. And if its a family of 5 to 6 ppl with small kids which plate capacity would I need.

Hi - I use this one amzn.to/3r6MfpK. You should get atleast 14 or 15 place setting.

As I am going to start using Dishwasher I watched your video and found it very precise and useful. Thank you so much!

[@SuchiStream]

Hey Soumya, Good video ... btw what's the Cost sweetspot will you recommend to trade-off & decide whether to invest in buying a dishwasher along with monthly cost vs cost of hiring a maid (now, maids are available for approx 1k/mo for dish washing)? ................. Also, we should account for the manual cost of approx 10-15 minutes every day to load/unload the dishes from dishwasher.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Suchi! I think more than the cost it is the convenience. For a tier 1 city, the monthly cost is almost same as you would pay a maid for dishwashing. Then you have to apportion the cost of your upfront investment. If you automate completely with this and a robot vacuum cleaner - your upfront investment could be around 60k. If you are paying a maid 3k per month - you will recover your costs in little over 2 years (also considering the running costs)

Hii...saumya..i really liked all your videos and found to be quite informative for dishwasher related information. Recently i also bought voltas df15a . Tds in my area is on harder side i mean more than 800 ppm. So i filled salt for the very first time in salt dispenser around 1.5 kg and it last for only 6days.. Is it normal ?? I am doubting how its possible when I am usi g only one time a day...can you tell whats your opinion on this Is it normal ??

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Sweety, the first time it does take almost 1.5-2 kgs. But that should reduce subsequently. However, since you TDS is quite high, you may need to set your salt setting to high - which means salt consumption should be higher than normal. Try for the next few times and if it consumes as much - you should check with Voltas once.

[@AtulKumar-sw6fc]

@@TheGrapevineIndia I am also using Voltas Beko (DF 14S2) , Volts use lesser salt band Rinse Aid than other dishwashers (I have returned LG after 15 months). Try to set salt at level 2. If it does cnot help try to raise the salt setting to 3. At level 2, salt in my dishwasher lasts for 25-30 days, with one wash a day.

[@irfanrafeeq88]

@@sweetyjain6075 In that case, I guess its just better to use a tablet without using additional salt/rinse aid right? Not sure if voltas service will even offer a refund.

I have another bosch dishwasher with the same water hardness levels set but it takes 1 kg per month only. This is ridiculous.

This is a very helpful video! Tbh and fair, maids also cost just as much and if family members together contribute towards chores then appliances make sense. Im all for digitizing homes with good quality appliances and with least human interactions :) The only disadvantage of an appliance such as a dishwasher is that most folks are used to outsourcing to a maid who not only does the dishes but also puts them away and in dishwasher you have to load, unload and stack them back.

[@hemawaghray519]

Hi Soumya, informative video, thanks for sharing. I recently purchased Faber one and I was provided starter kit by the technician, so Faber rinse aid and salt is added to the dishwasher. Wanted to check if I can use Finish detergent in the dishwasher along with Faber rinse aid and salt. Hope this will not harm the dishwasher

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Hema, that should not be an issue at all from a machine pointof view. You may need to experiment with a few different detergent, salt and rinse aid till you figure a combination that works best for you. For me - all finish ones work best.

[@AtulKumar-sw6fc]

As all the dishwashers in the world follow the basic principles laid down by European Union and USA, every dishwasher will accept and salt/rinse aid/detergent from any manufacturer. As suggested by Saumya Ji, you have to experiment with salt/rinse aid/detergent, to workout the best combination. Apart from Finish and Vim, i have used Fortune products. Finish has been market leader, in almost all the countries and is a well established brand. Fortune products are lowest priced and are very good at cleaning the utensils. I am regularly using Fortune products (Detergent/Salt/Rinse Aid/tablet) for more than 20 months with great results.

[@adithyavasudevan4036]

Why not use the Finish capsules. Self contained, no need to add the ingredients separately.

[@AtulKumar-sw6fc]

@@adithyavasudevan4036 (1) as good tablets range between 25/- to 40/-, cleaning utensils with tablet is expensive. (2) detergent costs hardly 2/- to 4/- per wash. As such you save 21/- per wash. In one month, you save 630/-. In one year you save 7560/-. Dishwashers easily last for more than 12 years, as such in 12 years you save 90720/-. If you add interest earned on the saved money, it is around 100000/- (3) For small cycles, you need around 6 grams of detergent. If you are using tablet then dishwashers are unable to remove all the detergent in short cycles. (4) sensor based Dishwashers extend washing time to get rid of excess detergent, consuming more electricity and taking longer time to clean. Saving 100000/- is still a big incentive.

Hi Rupa- 14 would be most convenient (I use 14 for 2 people and wash once a day too) I know people with similar family size who have 12 too, some of them think they could have gone for 14 after using it. At the end of the day, it depends on your vessel usage as well. Mine does get quite full.

Thanks in Advance

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Jay - I would think a single load would be enough per day if you go for a 14 or 15 place setting dishwasher. The energy consumption is generally around 1.3kwh for the auto mode of operation - so your monthly electricity cost will come to close to Rs. 390. If you run more loads a day - would go up proportionally.

Hi Shaswati, mostly likely not - depending on the version you plan to buy. It would be best to check the measurements - a full sized dishwasher is approx 60cm x 60 cm x 60cm. And a tabletop is slightly smaller in width and depth but about 20cm smaller in height. Unless there was a provision made under your kitchen sink for a dishwasher, it may not fit.

[@AtulKumar-sw6fc]

Before buying Voltas dishwasher, I have used LG for more than a year. Test the water hardness with TDS tester, which you can buy from Amazon for 250/- or 300/-. If it is not possible, call your RO technician to test the water hardness or RO water. for 500 TFDS, LG will soften water at salt setting 2. Page 19 of the LG dishwasher manual has necessary instructions about salt setting. If you have connected LG with your cell phone, you can change the salt setting from cell phone. Salt setting at 2 handles most of the water hardness problems. You can test setting 2 then can reduce or increase the setting. At setting 2, salt in LG lasts for 27-30 days.

In my opinion if one earns 1 lac.a month, must employ one person for 10k per month salary. If in India estimated there will be 10 cr.people in this cat. and if even 50% employ 1 each, at least 5 cr.

Hi Rama! It will use around 1kwh per cycle. So if the price in your area is about Rs. 7 per kwh, then Rs. 7 per cycle or Rs. 14 for 2 cycles. That comes to about Rs. 420 for the month. You will need to identify the power rate in your area from your electricity bill.

Kindly tell will it useful for nuclear family where I have habit to use a single utensil fir many times after washing it again n again

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Anjali! If you need to use the same vessels after washing again and again during the same cooking cycle - then it may not be useful. Normally a dishwasher is useful to bulk wash a number of dishes.

whats rhe difference between mega xxl and xxxl finish dishwashers table

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi @Rusty 2k, not sure about mega xxl and xxxl - it just seems to be the number of tabs in the pack. While the manufacturers say we don’t need rinse aid and salt, I do see deteriorated performance when not used with tablets. So yes, you would need to use both even if you are using tablet - specifically if you have hard water in your area.

Hello mam, We recently bought Bosch dishwasher. First month it worked like a charm. Afterwards in our apartment we got water issues. Now daily we are having tankers. As tankers are coming daily, everyday tds is different. Due to daily change in tds I am taking tds measurement and then according to the table putting the settings. Despite of doing this I am facing white patch issues over the utensils. These white patches are not coming on every utensils, mostly on large bowls and specially the ones which I bought from IKEA( dishwasher safe) I tried tablet as well but not much results. Used finish tablets and detergent. Bosch engineer says as the tds changing frequently, settings to be in effect takes few wash cycle to happen ( not sure if this is true) and asking me to put the external water softener. I am confused now, as the TDS range is with in the max capacity of dishwasher machine. Till now it went max up to 555 TDS. Even though if I put external softener, tds of water will be same. Its not going to change, it's just water will be soft. With external water softener what settings I should do for dishwasher. I have tried almost everything from changing the settings to changing the detergent or tabs. Kindly help me understanding the solution. Is the external water softener is only solution to my specific issue. Kindly help me mam. Waiting for your response.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Deepender - I don’t believe you need a water softener for a tds of 555. I recommend you try to set the salt level to max and try for a few cycles. Also try to run a cleaning and descaling of your dishwasher periodically

[@arvindynr]

bosch dishwashers are the best. my friend has ifb & he complaints about bad quality wash.

Hi Arvind, thanks for sharing your feedback.

Beacuse of lockdown i dont have its tablet whatother thing we can u in that place

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Prem - hmm there are some home solutions I have not tried it and don’t recommend as it may waive off your warranty. Amazon still seems to be delivering inspite of lockdown. Not able to get tablet?

[@yatrikshah6088]

we are using from last three year 8 place dishwasher voltas beko

[@arvindynr]

ifb dishwasher products are way better than finish, costs less, better quality wash & quantity used per wash is less. I use bosch dishwasher, not ifb.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Arvind, thanks for sharing your experience!. Different people have different experience with IFB products, in general not so good. So I'm glad it is working out for you.

[@latasampath]

when using finish products, no need to use rinse aid and salt...

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Latha, thanks for sharing. Actually that totally depends on the water hardness in your area. If too high, still need salt and rinse aid. Without that wash quality is not good. Thats the situation for me too. Have to use salt and rinse aid inspite of using a tablet

[@latasampath]

@@TheGrapevineIndia Yes, The quantum ultimate or quantum max dishwasher tablet from finish works well even for hard water.

[@DOUKNOWME60]

Usage of the Salt depends on the Hardness of the Water in each area

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Yes!

Worst purchase. I paid Rs 61,000 for 14 place setting IQ500 Dishwasher through Croma. It didn't last for 30 washes. Raised complaint on 17 Sep 24 which they acknowledged on 20 Sep 24. Today is 7 Oct 24. There has been one visit of technician and every day mail correspondence with Siemens. Extremely poor AFTER SALE service. Whats faulty is the Touch Panel. Never buy this Siemens, I assume Bosch too is on same boat. Not at all reliable. Rest is up to you.
