When purchasing a dishwasher, there are a few things to keep in mind. In order to choose the best features for you and your family, you must decide how often you will use the dishwasher and what you will be washing. Another good thing to know is how much energy and water each model will use. I suggest purchasing an Energy Star model.
The Soap and Detergent Association recommends a water temperature of more than 130 degrees, and other sources recommend temperatures up to 160 degrees, which makes it very important for a dishwasher to be able to reach high temperatures. Having a high-temperature cycle (or rinse) will ensure that you sanitize the dishwasher’s contents. You can also look for dishwashers with an option called NSF sanitizing rinse. The NSF national standard establishes evaluation criteria to ensure residential dishwashers clean and sanitize dishes effectively to help prevent food borne illness. The Whirlpool GU2475XTVY dishwasher has internal water heater which raise water temperatures to 160 degrees allowing you to keep the water heater turned down to an energy saving 120-degrees and get the desired results from a dishwasher.
Features like adjustable tines and racks and movable cutlery baskets can improve washing performance, as will proper loading.
When it comes to loading, we all try to squeeze in as many dishes as possible, or maybe just haphazardly fill the machine. But read the owner’s manual. Following those loading steps will save you time and money because you’ll do fewer loads and won’t have to hand-wash those dirty items that come from your dishwasher.
The machine is perfect for large family – it is a super capacity with a tall tub design. It has a Control Lock which disables buttons on the control pad to prevent children from starting or stopping the dishwasher. It also has adjustable racks and a capacity of up to 16 place settings at a time.
Other really cool features are the multidirectional spray jets and rinse-and-soak cycles. These features can save you the hassle of hand-rinsing dishes, glasses and flatware before placing them into a dishwasher. If dishes are pre-rinsed using a dishwasher pre-rinse cycle, approximately one gallon of water is used compared to 25 gallons of water pre-rinsing in the sink.
You will love the Heated Dry feature. The machine dries dishes thoroughly. Once this option is complete, dishes are ready for storage.
An adaptive wash cycle uses sensors to select the ideal cleaning level and cycle duration for each load.
Bottom Line: The Whirlpool GU2475XTVY is perfect for those who are looking for a top-notch performer with excellent reliability ratings.
