Face it, we live in a modern world and we love our modern technology. However, we also live in a world that is becoming more conscientious of the energy it uses each day. Many states offer rebates, discounts and tax credits if you replace your appliances with energy star approved appliances. This give you more of the green bucks in your wallet while helping to keep your home running smoothly and efficiently.
This year we bought a new dishwasher. I was amazed at the quietness of the machine. Not only did it do a better job of cleaning our dishes, but it came with all those fancy water saving features our old machine did not have. For quick jobs we are able to wash the top rack only. The sensors in the machine are able to detect particles and keep washing, or on the opposite side, quit washing when the dishes are clean. It uses less water and energy while doing a better job. We give it a thumbs up!
When you are shopping around remember Washing machines with the energy star logo get a $75 credit in most states, while a dishwasher with the logo gets around $25.00. Many times these same machines come with rebates and credits from your gas or electric provider too.
