How to calculate your kWh cost

From our research, you'll usually be able to find the kilowatt-hour of a dishwasher in the product specification. If you'd still prefer to calculate it yourself, simply multiply your appliance's wattage by the number of hours it's used each day. Divide that total by 1,000 to get the dishwasher's daily kilowatt-hour.

The cost per kWh can change depending on what your energy tariff is and where you live. If you have a smart meter, you'll also be able to see the cost per use when your dishwasher is running.

How to shop safely online

To avoid being tricked or duped by scams, only shop with retailers you trust. And as the old saying goes, if the deal seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Steer clear of websites or private sellers you don't recognise, and stay vigilant when scrolling social media. Be wary of what information you're being asked to share; ask yourself if the information seems too personal, as this could be used to predict passwords.

You can rest easy when searching for deals with us; we will only be sharing offers and retailers we know are 100 per cent reliable. Read more in our guide on how to avoid scams when shopping online.
