ALDI dishwashers review

Currently, ALDI only has one dishwasher model within its line-up, but if there’s one thing we know about ALDI, it’s to never count it out when it comes to Special Buys, so keep an eye out for additional models down the line.

Stirling ALDI Stainless Steel Dishwasher − $349

Aldi is currently selling this Stirling stainless steel dishwasher (STR-SSDW14) with 14 place settings, retailing for $349 RRP* (January, 2022). It features six wash programs with a delay start function, so you can set the dishwasher to run overnight and make use of off-peak electricity times. The design also incorporates a height adjustable upper basket to give you room for larger pots and pans. For safety, you’ll find a child lock and an anti-flood device.

It has a three-star energy rating with an energy consumption of 329kWh per year. In terms of water, it has a 4.5-star water rating, using 12.7L per wash. Product dimensions are 845 x 598 x 610mm (HxWxD) and it comes with a three-year warranty. With a total weight of 45kg, ALDI suggests bringing a mate and a trolley to give you a hand with this unit.

Are ALDI appliances worth it?

ALDI stocks a wide range of cheap and cheerful home appliances, making it a smart choice for those looking for a good deal. The budget supermarket’s appliances are usually reliably manufactured and come with warranties for extra peace of mind. The main downside is that ALDI appliances are only available seasonally in Special Buys, so make sure to check ALDI’s catalogue and website regularly to nab yourself a bargain. You can keep up to date with the latest ALDI deals by picking up a catalogue in store, or checking online.
