What is a "dishwasher"?
A dishwasher is a kitchen appliance used to clean dishes, pots, pans, and utensils automatically. It works by spraying water and detergent onto the items inside the machine, then rinsing and drying them. Dishwashers typically have multiple racks to hold different types of dishes and adjustable settings to control water temperature and wash cycles. They are popular for saving time and effort in cleaning, especially for large families or households that frequently use dishes. Dishwashers help to ensure dishes are cleaned thoroughly and hygienically with minimal manual work.
Examples
