Stainless steel has increasingly become a mainstay of modern appliance design, adding a touch of class to even the most humble kitchen. But, there’s more to stainless steel than mere aesthetics.

When used inside a dishwasher instead of plastic, it’s been proven to muffle operating sound, offer a better cleaning experience, and dry dishes more efficiently. It’s true that stainless steel dishwashers are a bit more expensive, but you’ll reap the benefits of that extra hundred dollars or so.

At Reviewed, we’ve tested hundreds of dishwashers, including many with stainless steel tubs.

Our favorite so far is the Bosch 800 Series SHP78CM5N (available at Best Buy for $1,299.99) , because of its awesome cleaning power, sleek looks, and quiet operation.

Editor's Note: Appliances purchases are a large investment of both money and time. We’ve not only compiled lists of the best dishwashers to shop, but also the best places to buy in-stock appliances right now and the best times of year to buy appliances to take advantage of sales and new releases.

Bosch SHP78CM5N
  • Finishes: Stainless steel
  • Cycles: Heavy, Auto, Normal, Speed 60, Favorite
  • Special features: PrecisionWash with PowerControl, stainless-steel wash tub, EasyGlide racks, CrystalDry with zeolite

The Bosch 800 Series SHP78CM5N may have just came out, but this stainless steel dishwasher immediately shot to the top of almost all of our rankings. Its stainless steel interior helps the machine retain an operating volume of just 42 dbA. As an added bonus, this (and all other Bosch dishwashers) have an extended warranty that will replace a rust-damaged stainless steel interior for the lifetime of the product.

Of course, the SHP78CM5N is also an excellent dishwasher on top of all that. Even higher-end dishwashers sometimes struggle with our battery of stubborn stains, but the SHP78CM5N made quick work of everything we threw at it. And we mean "quick" work too, as cycles all finished faster than average with clean, dry dishes.

We also love all the little touches throughout the dishwasher that improve its overall usability, such as the high-quality materials, adjustable racks, and folding tines. You can even set up a dedicated wash quadrant if you have some really difficult stains to clear away.

  • Special features: Stainless steel tub, third rack, AutoOpen drying, ExtraClean & ExtraDry, delayed start

The Miele G 5266 SCVi SF is an excellent stainless steel dishwasher, keeping wash cycles to a whisper-quiet 42 dBA.

This is one of the rare occasions where a high-end model actually does deliver across the board. While pricy, the Miele G 5266 SCVi SF proved itself more than capable of scouring stains and drying dishes. Its Normal cycle is especially efficient, finishing about 30 minutes faster than the average dishwasher.

Of course, the Miele G 5266 SCVi SF also looks and feels great to use. Its sleek exterior is sure to look great in any kitchen and we love its third rack.

  • Special features: ADA compliant, CrystalDry technology, third rack, Wi-Fi enabled, AquaStop Plus, delayed start

The Bosch 800 Series SGX78B55UC/13 is yet another win for the Germany-based manufacturer. Again, part of the reason why Bosch is such a good choice for buying a stainless steel dishwasher is because they will replace those parts, guaranteed, if they ever have rust damage. Lifetime warranties are difficult to come by, so we're happy Bosch stands behind the quality of their stainless steel appliances.

When it comes to washing, this ADA-compliant dishwasher manages to impress: We saw no issues with its cleaning power, and dishes came out of a wash cycle nearly spotless. Cycles also finished quickly, with mostly dry dishes.

This dishwasher also has a great user experience with all the extras you'd expect, with a third rack, adjustable upper rack, foldable tines, and access to Home Connect's suite of smart features.

With the fundamentals covered, the G 7566 also has plenty of icing on the cake with its cornucopia of features. A SaniWash, adjustable racks, and an automatic detergent dispenser makes this a great washer for a household of any size. However, this model is not a stopgap or even an upgrade, it’s an investment in your kitchen.

  • Finishes: Stainless steel
  • Cycles: Heavy, Auto, Delicate, Normal, Speed 60, Rinse
  • Special features: Stainless steel tub, extra dry option, sanitize option, CrystalDry technology, adjustable upper rack

The Bosch SHPM88Z75N delivers quiet, efficient cleaning power. It’s one of the quietest dishwashers we’ve ever tested at just 40 dBA. It blasted away our toughest stains, like burnt-on cheese and spinach. The one weakness we found was redeposit—bits of food from one dish getting dispersed to other dishes. However, this problem is common across many dishwashers.

The SHPM88Z75N also boasts a CrystalDry feature that relies on zeolite, which heats on contact with water. This dishwasher even gets plastic containers completely dry, at a fraction of the energy cost of traditional heating.

If you use a lot of plastic food storage containers, the SHPM88Z75N’s thorough drying can save you a lot of time and effort.

  • Cycles: Auto, Normal, Heavy, Delicate, and Express 60
  • Special features: Folding tines, adjustable middle rack

The Samsung DW80R9950UT dishwasher is a stainless steel dishwasher with just about every feature you'd want. It's got a third rack with enough room for ladles and other larger utensils, and the other racks feature adjustable tines to help hold awkward items. The futuristic-looking control panel and fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish offer a sleek, elegant aesthetic.

The Samsung DW80R9950UT also doesn't disappoint with its performance. The Quick cycle removed over 97% of our test food stains. Normal and Heavy were both over 99%. The Heavy cycle takes about 2.5 hours, which is great since it’s not unusual to see heavy cycles that take as long as 4 hours. It also had near-perfect drying after a wash cycle

Overall, the Samsung DW80R9950UT looks great, feels good to use, has powerful cleaning and useful extra features. It's a great choice for your next stainless steel dishwasher.

  • Cycles: Auto, Normal, Heavy, Delicate, 1 Hour Wash & Dry
  • Special features: QuadWash Pro, TrueSteam, Dynamic Heat Dry

The LG LDTH7972S is another stainless steel dishwasher that can pretty much do it all. Its wash cycles were more than capable of handling our batteries of difficult stains. Its Heavy cycle was the most impressive of the group, cleaning over 99% of the most difficult stains we had to throw at it.

The LG LDTH7972S also showcases some impressive drying power. Anything that wasn't plastic managed to get completely dry—there wasn't a single drop of water remaining. Plastic items did sometimes pool water, but the LDTH7972S did dry those items significantly better than the average dishwasher can manage.

This LG also has some features you won't find on all the other dishwashers on this list, like steam cleaning. Of course, it also has the staple features of adjustable racks and foldable tines.

Pros

  • Effective Heavy Duty cycle

  • Dries dishes completely

  • Foldable tines and repositionable racks

Beko DUT25401X
  • Finishes: Fingerprint-free stainless steel
  • Cycles: Heavy+, Normal, Quick & Shine, Express, Rinse & Hold
  • Special features: Height adjustable upper rack, stainless steel interior, ProSmart Inverter motor

The Beko DUT25401X offers the best combination of powerful performance and low price that we’ve found, making it an easy pick for the best affordable dishwasher(that also happens to have a stainless steel finish).

This Beko offered solid performance. Its normal cycle is above average, and its quick cycle is slightly below average, but its Heavy cycle is an absolute powerhouse that earned a near-perfect score. The drying feature also works beautifully; every plate and glass was bone dry after the Normal cycle.

The DUT25401X also uses far less electricity and water than average for each cycle. Not only does it have an Energy Star official certification, but it earned a spot as one of Energy Star’s Most Efficient models in 2021.

Finally, this model is user-friendly in some important, thoughtful ways. The upper rack features different tines for multiple dishes and angled height adjustment. There are also two height-adjustable shelves/wine racks and a small, fixed third rack.

Our one big complaint is that the control panel is a little difficult to use. Pressing the buttons takes far more pressure than seems necessary. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s an odd oversight for a dishwasher with so much else to offer.

The Bosch 500 series SHPM65Z55N is another excellent entry-point into Bosch dishwashers. It sports the same stainless steel interior as others on this list, but is a little less of an investment.

is pricier, but you get what you pay for. The third rack and adjustable tines help make great use of its space. It’s also very quiet, at 44 dBA.

The cycles are on the long side—even the “Quick” cycle takes about an hour—but the resulting clean is worth it. This dishwasher removed nearly all of the stains from our test dishes during the Heavy cycle, which is a rare feat.

The Auto Air function opens the dishwasher door after a cycle has ended to expedite dish drying, and it helped get nearly every test dish in the Normal and Quick cycles bone dry. All in all, the SHPM65Z55N is a great way to get Bosch’s performance and features at a lower price.

The KitchenAid KDPM804KBS stainless steel dishwasher is for those who want a gorgeous, well-designed stainless steel dishwasher for their kitchen and have a budget that's willing to accommodate.

The level of polish on this dishwasher is really what separates it from the rest of the pack. We love its PrintShield fingerprint-resistant exterior, which we found does live up to its name. The KDPM804KBS's racks are sturdy, glide smoothly, and have foldable tines. The LED-lit interior really lets you see what you're doing. Everything feels like it's been machined to work and move perfectly.

While you can do better in terms of cleaning performance, the KDPM804KBS shouldn't disappoint most users: It manages to hold its own against its competitors.

  • Special features: AquaStop leak prevention, FlexSpace foldable tines, PrecisionWash, PureDry

The Bosch 300 Series SHSM63W55N is yet another stainless steel option that's available at a relatively low price point. If any of the stainless steel in this dishwasher's tub should rust, Bosch will replace it for the lifetime of the machine.

On top of this great warranty, the SHSM63W55N offers a third rack, adjustable upper rack, and foldable tines, and it delivers the cleaning prowess, design, and quiet operation the brand is known for.

During testing, the SHSM63W55N removed nearly all of our food stains during testing of its Heavy cycle, and while this 300 Series dishwasher isn’t as quiet as some other stainless steel models, it’s still worth every cent.

Pros

  • Great cleaning performance

  • Drying feature that works

  • Third rack

Cons

  • Drying option extends cycle times

With a smudge-proof finish, adjustable tines, and LED lighting inside, there are plenty of user-friendly, thoughtful features. The fundamentals are strong, too: the Normal and Tough cycles performed extremely well. The one downside we found is that the Express cycle is slow compared to the competition.

How We Test Stainless Steel Dishwashers

The Testers

Reviewed’s past and present lab staff has many collective years testing all sorts of large appliances, including dishwashers, both in the lab and at home in day-to-day life. (While maybe taking a few more notes than the average user).

The Tests

Credit: Reviewed

We test a dishwasher's Quick, Heavy, and Normal cycles by challenging them to clean dishes with baked-on food stains—milk, spinach, egg, oatmeal, meat, and more.

When it comes to testing dishwashers in general, we assess three major areas—performance, features, and usability.

For this guide in particular, a dishwasher also needs to be made of stainless steel, both on its front and inside its cleaning compartment. An interior stainless steel dishwasher tub allows for sound dampening and odor control, and just offers a higher quality overall.

When it comes to stain removal, we test the three most common cycles on a dishwasher: Quick, Heavy, and Normal, measuring how baked-on food stains are actually removed by the cleaning cycle. We also record how long it takes these cycles to run.

Then, we look at redeposit, those gross leftover bits you find on your dishes sometimes. It happens when a dishwasher’s water jets blast food from one dish, just for it to get stuck on a second dish. The less redeposit, the better.

Rest assured: We’ll never recommend a dishwasher with bad performance just because it boasts fancy features that sound good. But when a feature actually adds something to a dishwasher, we want to call it out.


What You Should Know Before Buying Stainless Steel Dishwashers

Is Stainless Steel Dishwasher Safe?

Credit: Bosch

It would be a questionable design choice to make the interior of a dishwasher out of a material that isn't dishwasher safe.

This is the #1 most-asked question we get about dishwashers. Interpreting its meaning can go one of two ways, but luckily, the answer to each is “yes.”

First, If you’re asking if objects made out of stainless steel are dishwasher-safe, then yes: Experts agree that it’s OK to wash stainless steel items in your dishwasher. This includes all your stainless steel cookware straws, flatware, and skillets.

Most manufacturers do recommend hand washing skillets and cookware, since harsh ingredients in dishwasher detergent can leave stainless steel pots with white spots, discoloration, and/or a duller finish. However, we have run loads of stainless steel skillets and pots through dishwasher cycles in our lab and they have come out gleaming, although not all burnt-on stains were removed.

Secondly, if you’re asking if a stainless steel dishwasher is safe, the answer is also, yes.

Reviewed’s chief scientist Dave Ellerby notes that there is some concern that stainless steel cookware can leach heavy metal ions, like nickel and chromium, into food. To some extent, this is true, according to the National Library of Medicine. Consumers’ concerns could be tied to general food safety issues around stainless steel. But, in the case of dishwashers, the rinse cycle would remove any metal ions, and since you’re not eating off your stainless steel dishwasher tub, you should be OK.

The other issue could be concerns about electric shocks. According to Ellerby, some people have questions around this as a potential problem with stainless-clad appliances. If you had an electrical fault like particularly poor grounding, then a metal housing would be more likely to conduct electricity than an old-school plastic housing. However, all appliances are tested for electrical safety, and stainless steel surfaces are insulated from internal wires, so there’s little cause for concern.

In any case, stainless steel interiors are increasingly becoming the standard for modern, full-size dishwashers, and they are totally safe to use.

Is A Stainless Steel Dishwasher Tub Better Than Plastic?

In a lot of ways, yes. For starters, it’s more durable than the most common alternative, plastic. For another, it’s less porous. That means it doesn’t collect stains from hard water or hold on to gross smells from leftover food or gunk buildup the way that plastic can.

Stainless steel does a great job of resisting rust and corrosion, but be aware that dishwashers are a particularly punishing environment for steel. Rust and calcium can build up over the years due to moisture, the chemicals in dish detergent, and calcium from hard water.

Stainless steel also withstands higher temperatures than plastic. That means you can sterilize dishes, get a better clean, and also get hotter temperatures for more complete drying. It’s also more energy-efficient. Stainless steel retains heat, conducting heat away from the dishes and condensing it into water that falls down into the drain.

As discussed above, stainless steel is great as a sound baffle, insulating the noise created by the dishwashing process so you don’t have to deal with a loud appliance. And finally, while it’s a matter of opinion, it just looks sharp, and adds a nice touch to your kitchen decor.

Stainless steel dishwashers are more expensive than those with plastic interiors, but for better durability and stronger, quiet performance, it’s generally worth it.

What Is A Hybrid Dishwasher Tub?

A hybrid dishwasher tub is one made from both stainless steel and plastic parts. Usually, the door—and possibly the tub’s back and sides—are stainless steel, while its liner, or bottom, is made of plastic.

Hybrid models include Samsung’s DW80R2031US/AC, Bosch’s 100 Series SHXM4AY55N, and GE’s GDT635HSRSS.

How To Clean A Stainless Steel Dishwasher?

Despite its name, stainless steel can, in fact, rust. Stainless steel contains chromium, which, when exposed to oxygen, forms a protective layer of chromium oxide that can keep rust at bay.

This layer can be damaged in all sorts of ways, from particularly abrasive cleaners to high salinity. Once this protective layer of chromium oxide is damaged or removed, stainless steel can rust.

So, how do you get rust off a stainless steel dishwasher? There’s really no trick to it. While there are lots of specialty products out there you can use to clean your stainless steel dishwasher, we recommend sticking to warm water and baking soda.

If the rust keeps reappearing, you may want to treat that area with a silicon coating or a stainless steel sealant. That should re-establish its protective coating and stop further rusting.

Do Any Dishwashers Have Stainless Steel Racks?

Yes, but while it used to be a premium feature, it’s been almost completely phased out over the last 10 years. Almost every modern dishwasher uses nylon for their racks. That’s because nylon coating is less likely to peel or warp, and it won’t rust.
