The first step to answering, “How much does a dishwasher cost?” is to evaluate the different factors that contribute to an appliance’s price point.
This can help you control the cost by evaluating what you are willing to pay more for. Here are a few reasons why a dishwasher’s price might be higher or lower:
- Brand: companies target specific markets, like entry-level consumers and luxury buyers. The brand name alone can determine a dishwasher’s price range.
- Technology: companies will charge more for advanced features like Wi-Fi connectivity, AI-powered sensors, and extra cycles.
- Bonus Features: the more features and options a dishwasher has, the more it is likely to cost.
- Energy Efficiency: consumers are increasingly concerned about efficiency, which is viewed as an opportunity for brands. Some charge more for efficient appliances.
- Style: companies will charge more for panel-ready appliances or dishwashers with unique colors and finishes.
Prices can vary significantly depending on the models produced by different brands. Two Bosch dishwashers might have completely different prices based on the series they came from.

Installation Costs: Inquire about the cost of installing the new unit at the time of purchase to avoid unexpected expenses.
Accessories: Be aware of any additional accessories that come with the dishwasher which might affect your total cost. For instance, panel-ready models require purchasing a cabinet face to complete the look.
Planning for these factors will help you avoid unforeseen costs and ensure you stay within your budget while shopping for new appliances.
