Your time is precious. You don’t have hours to spend each day washing and drying your family dishes. Having a reliable dishwasher is non-negotiable for many Canadian families.
To help you choose the highest-rated dishwasher for your family, here’s our list of the top dishwasher models in Canada for 2023.
24-inch Built-in Dishwasher with FreeFlex™ Third Rack
Manufacturer: Kitchenaid
Model #: KDFM404KPS
Dishwashers with three racks make a HUGE difference in your capacity. The top racks are usually reserved for cooking utensils and drinkware (up to 6-inch tall glasses), freeing up the lower layers for your larger dishes.
An exciting feature of this model is the Kitchenaid Advanced Clean Water Wash System, which circulates clean water across all three racks. It also uses microfiltration to constantly remove food particles through the wash cycle, meaning you can wash your grimey lasagne casserole dish with your delicate wine glasses in the same load.
This dishwasher also features smart technology to measure soil levels in your cycle to adapt wash time and temperature, so you’re not using unnecessarily rough and water-wasting cycles for lighter loads. It’s a great way to conserve water and energy, using just what you need for that load.

24-inch Built-In Dishwasher with EvenDry™ System
Manufacturer: Frigidaire
Model #: FGID2476SF
Families have been trusting Frigidaire appliances for decades. This dishwasher is no exception. It’s a perfect dishwasher for large families or those who like hosting dinners, with the capacity to wash up to 14 place settings in one cycle.
Older dishwashers often deposit food particles back onto the “cleaned” dishes during a cycle, but not this model. Its stainless steel filter prevents this. This dishwasher features great Frigidaire technology, including:
- The OrbitClean(R) Wash System providing 4x better water coverage
- AquaSurge™ technology adjusts to provide the right washing pressure based on your washing needs.
- Dishsense(TM) technology automatically adjusts your washing time based on how dirty your dishes are.
- It also includes a great feature to move your top rack up or down to make room for larger dishes on the bottom, making it easier to wash your large stock pot.

18-inch Built-in Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub
Manufacturer: Whirlpool
Model #: WDF518SAHM
Tight on space? This 18-inch dishwasher from Whirlpool is perfect for apartment or suite kitchens. Its small size is possible due to adding a dedicated spray arm for each rack. For those who appreciate a time-saver, this model automatically remembers your last wash setting, so you can just press start.
This model may be small, but you can wash up to 8 place settings at once, which is excellent for small families. You can adjust the upper rack by up to two inches to add room for more oversized items in either rack.
Worried about noise? Don’t be with this model’s Quiet Partner™ Sound Reduction System, minimizing noise during the washing cycle. Or, if you prefer, you can set a delay to start your washing at a convenient time.

24-inch Built-in Dishwasher with AquaBlast™ Cleaning System
Manufacturer: Samsung
Model #: DW80R9950US/AC
If you like a clean and simple aesthetic, this dishwasher from Samsung will be perfect for you with its simplistic front door design with hidden buttons. This is one of the rare models with three racks, and the third rack on this model is designed for utensils and cutlery, adding up to 30% more space in your dishwasher.
Wash both delicate and heavily soiled dishes in one load with Zone Booster™, Samsung’s technology allows you to choose a section of the bottom rack to receive a little extra cleaning power.
For added convenience for those who are always on the go, use the Wi-Fi App to control your dishwasher from anywhere in your home.

24-inch Built-in Dishwasher with TrueSteam®
Manufacturer: LG
Model #: LDP6810SS
Invite the whole neighbourhood for dinner and wash all your dishes in one load. This built-in dishwasher fits up to 15 place settings, and the third rack is a flex space for long flatware and even small espresso cups. You can start the dishes while your company is still there without worrying about loud motors with LG’s quiet Lodecibel™ technology.
Ever opened the dishwasher to find your dishes still dirty? With LG’s Senseclean system, an LED light measures water turbidity during the first rinse and may add an additional cycle if your dishes are still soiled. You can also clean those hard-to-reach areas of your dishes with the spray power of four arms (rather than the two that other dishwashers have). This will maximize cleaning angles and help clean the crevices around lids and other dishes with hard-to-reach spots.
Or if you’re washing delicate items, use their TrueSteam™ feature to provide a gentle steaming for added cleanness.

24-inch Built-in Dishwasher with Sani Rinse Option
Manufacturer: Whirlpool
Model #: WDT750SAKZ
Tongs, measuring cups, oversized serving and cooking utensils never had a good place in the dishwasher until this model from Whirlpool. The third rack is specifically designed for these oddly shaped dishes, freeing up more space on the bottom two racks for your larger plates and cups. It also comes with a three-piece silverware basket for the lower shelf, which you can remove for extra space for large pots, pans, and casserole dishes.
A helpful safety feature of this model is its leak protection system. If a leak is detected, the dishwasher will flash to alert you and begin draining water from the tub to circumvent the leak as much as possible. It also includes technology to automatically sense the soil level of your dishes to provide the right amount of cleaning power without wasting needless energy or water during your cycle.
