Proudly Singaporean
Best Dishwashers in Singapore
Buying a dishwasher in Singapore used to feel impractical — a bulky appliance in homes where kitchen space is already tight.
But times have changed. Whether you’re cooking more at home, managing post-dinner cleanup solo, or just done with greasy plates and endless scrubbing, a dishwasher is no longer a luxury: It quietly transforms your kitchen routine.
We spent over 40 hours researching and comparing models across Shopee, Courts, and local distributors to find the best dishwashers for Singaporean homes: from space-saving countertop units to full-sized workhorses that can tackle sambal stains and rice cooker pots. We looked at cleaning power, drying efficiency (important in our humid weather), ease of setup, and whether they actually fit in the average HDB kitchen.
If you’re ready to ditch the dish sponge, this guide will help you find a machine that tackles dishes effectively, quietly, and without taking up half of your kitchen.

Finding the right dishwasher for your needs
Best Overall Dishwasher
Who this is for
Ideal for families or avid home cooks who want top-of-the-line convenience and performance. Anyone with a full household (or frequent dinner parties) will also appreciate the large capacity and thorough cleaning power.
Why we like it
LG’s QuadWash and True Steam features work together to remove grime and water spots, leaving dishes truly cupboard-ready. The four spray arms clean every corner, and the steam drying eliminates the need for hand-drying.
The LG ThinQ app also lets you start a wash remotely and notifies you when it’s done. Inside, the EasyRack+ system adjusts to fit everything from tall glasses to bulky woks.
We ran the DFC533FV after a big after-work dinner and barely heard it running. With cycles for greasy pots, light loads, this dishwasher quietly handles everything.
It’s definitely our overall pick for families to make daily dishwashing feel effortless.
What to consider before purchasing
This is a premium-priced, full-sized 60cm unit, so make sure your kitchen can accommodate it. The app’s remote features rely on stable Wi-Fi, though all controls are available on the panel.
Smaller households might not use its full capacity daily — but for larger families who want top-notch performance and flexibility, it’s absolutely worth the space and spend.
Key specifications
- Capacity: 14 place settings
- Dimensions: 600 × 600 × 850 mm (W×D×H)
- Drying system: True Steam® steam drying
- Wi-Fi enabled: Yes (LG ThinQ app)
- Rack system: EasyRack Plus with adjustable upper rack and foldable tines on bottom rack
Best Budget Dishwasher
Who this is for
This drawer dishwasher suits budget-conscious households of up to 6 people. It’s ideal for compact kitchens or flats where a full-sized unit won’t fit but daily dishwashing convenience is still needed.
Why we like it
The standout feature? A drawer-style design that slides out like a deep cabinet — no more bending over to load dishes.
For its price, the Aerogaz punches above its weight. It fits 6 place settings and can handle daily dishes for a family of three. For our testing, we managed to fit a saucepan, four plates, and cutlery with ease. Cleaning performance was solid, and it uses just 8.2 L per wash — as efficient as some high-end models.
Singapore users say it’s easy to use, and it covers the basics well: A-class wash and drying, convection ventilation, child lock, and a clean stainless steel front.
If you want clean dishes without fancy extras, this delivers — quietly, reliably, and at a price that makes sense.
What to consider before purchasing
This is a built-in unit, so you’ll need plumbing, space (W570×H590×D580 mm), and landlord approval if you’re renting. With just 6-place-setting capacity and no half-load option, it suits light daily use. No Wi-Fi or fancy features, and Aerogaz’s brand support is local, not global.
Still, it nails the basics at a very wallet-friendly price.
Key specifications
- Capacity: 6 place settings
- Dimensions: 595 × 569 × 595 mm (W×D×H)
- Drying system: Convection ventilation
- Wi-Fi enabled: No
- Rack system: Flexible and adjustable racking system
Best Tabletop/Countertop Dishwasher
Who this is for
Perfect for students, singles, or couples living in small flats. Since it doesn’t require permanent installation, it’s great for renters: Simply set it up on a countertop or table, and take it with you when you move.
Why we like it
This compact Midea impressed us with how capable and quiet it is — at just 58 dB, it is unobtrusive while its six versatile wash programmes leave dishes sparkling clean.
During our testing, the Intensive mode cleaned a greasy casserole, while the 30-min quick wash got mugs spotless. We could comfortably fit two plates, two bowls, cups, and cutlery.
You can connect it to a tap or use the built-in 6 L tank — a lifesaver for flats without a water inlet. Its Health drying function uses residual heat and ventilation to keep dishes dry and odour-free.
Singapore reviewers say it’s great for baby bottles, thanks to the 70°C wash. The touch panel is sleek, and the viewing window makes dishwashing oddly satisfying. It’s a mini machine with full-sized smarts.
What to consider before purchasing
This mini dishwasher fits 2 place settings max — large pans or woks won’t fit, and plastic items may dry slightly damp. You’ll need counter space near a sink to drain water. It lacks Wi-Fi and a water softener, but for small loads and simple routines, the compact size and price make those trade-offs easy to live with.
Key specifications
- Capacity: 2 place settings
- Dimensions: 420 × 435 × 465 mm (W×D×H)
- Drying system: Residual heat with ventilation
- Wi-Fi enabled: No
- Rack system: Fixed rack
Best Portable Dishwasher
Who this is for
Perfect for renters, small households, or HDB dwellers with tiny kitchens. This plug-and-play unit suits 1 to 3 people, needs no drilling, fits on shelves or countertops, and is ideal for those who want portability without sacrificing daily dishwashing ease.
Why we like it
What stood out to us immediately was how easy it was to set up — no tap connection needed, just fill the 5 L tank and press start.
Despite its size, the Toshiba is a surprisingly powerful cleaner. We tested it for two place settings’ worth of dishes (including plates that are around 30 cm wide) in both Eco and Rapid modes, which delivered spotless results. Dual spray arms delivered even coverage, and the 70 °C wash handled stubborn food. There’s even a Fruit Wash mode, which gently cleaned apples and grapes far better than a quick rinse at the sink.
We also liked the transparent front window and LED light — useful and oddly satisfying.
At just 49 dB, it ran quieter than our fridge. All that, and it only uses 5 L per cycle — far more efficient than hand-washing the same load.
What to consider before purchasing
There’s no heated dry cycle, so dishes may need air- or towel-drying. The 5 L tank must be refilled manually, and a 1.5 m drain hose needs to reach your sink. Additionally, the touch controls tend to be a tad too sensitive.
Overall, though, this model’s convenience easily outweighs these minor trade-offs.
Key specifications
- Capacity: 3 place settings
- Dimensions: 550 × 530 × 550 mm (W×D×H)
- Drying system: None
- Wi-Fi enabled: No
- Rack system: Fixed rack
Best Water-Efficient Dishwasher
Who this is for
Ideal for eco-conscious couples or small families. Its compact, convertible design suits 3 to 4 people, with UV sterilisation and high-temp washes perfect for parents, and water savings that appeal to anyone watching their PUB bill.
Why we like it
Water efficiency is phenomenal: The Eco mode uses just 7.1 L per cycle. We tested it after a heavy home-cooked meal and found the 72 °C hot wash and dual spray arms tackled oily pots with ease, no pre-rinse needed. The Normal mode (~8.5 L) likewise handled daily loads well.
We also liked the PTC hot air drying — dishes came out dry and warm, with zero water spots. The 72-hour ventilation storage kept things fresh even if we forgot to unload.
Apart from that, there’s a 99.9% UV sterilisation lamp, a baby bottle mode, and intuitive touch controls with Child Lock and Delay Start.
Overall, the Dreame is smart, compact, and impressively efficient, offering impressive value for both hygiene and savings.
What to consider before purchasing
The Z2000 still needs ~55 cm of space and suits 3 to 4 people best, so large families may find it small. Also, built-in installation may require plumbing help.
It’s also priced higher than average, but if you run full loads using the delay timer, you’ll maximise both its eco features and value.
Key specifications
- Capacity: 6 place settings
- Dimensions: 550 × 500 × 450 mm (W×D×H)
- Drying system: PTC hot-air drying
- Wi-Fi enabled: No
- Rack system: Fixed rack
Best High-Capacity Dishwasher
Who this is for
Perfect for big households or those who frequently host parties, this full-size dishwasher fits woks and serving platters easily. Ideal for families of 5 and up, home cooks, and anyone who needs serious cleaning power for daily use or post-dinner party cleanups.
Why we like it
In one word: powerhouse. We loaded the DFB325HS with a lasagne dish, greasy rice cooker pot, and plates from an 8-person dinner — everything came out spotless, even the burnt bits. LG’s QuadWash sprays from every angle, and the TrueSteam feature reduced water spots and left plastics fresh.
Its 14-place capacity and flexible rack design impressed us: We fit a wok below and cereal bowls up top, and the optional third rack freed up even more space. Despite being packed, cleaning was thorough, and it ran at just 44 dB.
We like the top-control panel, ThinQ app support, and Half Load option for lighter days. It looks sleek, works hard, and with LG’s build quality and a 10-year motor warranty, it’s the kind of dishwasher that quietly handles whatever you throw at it.
What to consider before purchasing
This full-size (60 cm wide, ~85 cm tall) unit needs under-counter space and weighs ~50 kg, so it’s not something you’ll move often. The top control panel hides the timer display, and smart features require stable Wi-Fi. TrueSteam works well, but deep plasticware may retain a few drops.
It’s pricey, but for big families, it’s worth every cent.
Key specifications
- Capacity: 14 place settings
- Dimensions: 598 × 845 × 600 mm (W×D×H)
- Drying system: True Steam® steam drying
- Wi-Fi enabled: Yes (ThinQ app)
- Rack system: SmartRack Plus with adjustable upper rack and foldable tines on bottom rack
Final Thoughts
Whether you live in a compact HDB flat or a landed home that hosts big family dinners, there’s a dishwasher here that fits your routine, budget, and floorplan.
From space-saving minis to full-size workhorses, the best models combine strong cleaning, efficient drying, and features that genuinely save time — all while keeping water bills in check.
Singaporean households are busier than ever, and dishwashers have quietly become one of the smartest upgrades you can make. Think less time scrubbing, more time actually enjoying your meals.
Choose the right dishwasher, set it up once, and let it do the work day after day — you’ll wonder how you ever managed without one.
