My Next Kitchen

Can such a thing as really quiet dishwashers exist? We talked to experts in the field to find out...

I remember, as a child, being very confused about the purpose of built in dishwashers. You see, my mother would only use it when we had guests and there were lots of dishes. And even then she would wash every dish before putting it in the machine.

As if it was not enough to fill your new kitchen with Smeg FAB refrigerators and freezers the Italian company has now unveiled these equally funky Smeg Fab dishwashers.

Boasting a TRIPLE A energy rating, the Smeg DI6FAB dishwasher has easy glide stainless steel baskets which can be simply adjusted to accommodate larger loads, in addition to self balancing door hinges to control loading and unloading of the appliance.

ATAG has updated its range of quiet dishwasher with the introduction of a whole raft of new integrated models featuring technical and user-friendly features and additions.

Just when you thought it was safe to go out at night a group of zany students go and create this - the world's first peddle-powered washing machine, called the biclavadora!!

Green, energy efficient kitchen appliances are a sure favourite here at My Next Kitchen and it is usually the small manufacturers that end up leading the way in this area of the business. And sure enough, that is exactly what little known Swiss company V Zug are doing right now as world leaders in stylish but green appliances.
