10 Reviews: Best Dishwasher for Large Family (Apr 2024)

You can get a solid dishwasher without draining your account balance and Whirlpool WDT710PAHZ is one of the best candidates your family can trust. For about 600 bucks you can experience five wash cycles and five options to cover every type of soiling. What’s more, the unit operates a sensor wash and 1-hour wash features to help you get the exact type of wash you need. Now you don’t have to worry about any stains left behind.

Love it, specially the capacity of dishes, glasses and everything else it holds is great.

Frigidaire offers advanced sensor technology to determine how much water pressure is needed based on how dirty the dishes are. You can reserve as many as 13 place settings to collect all your daily dishes. Not only that, with detail in mind, the brand puts a hidden control panel so there is no chance for your little one to operate it. Plus, this unit is energy-efficient so you can keep your energy bill low.

2nd version of this model, first one lasted almost 10 years, for a family of 6, that is amazing! still needs top label detergent to do a thorough cleaning job though for the tough loads.

Comes in all-white colors, this appliance brings a clean and modern touch to your kitchen. The upper rack can be raised or lowered manually for tall items. Not only that, Whirlpool installs this machine with Fan Dry technology, eliminating the need to dry dishes again after the cycle ends. The generous capacity lets you host family gatherings without worrying about washing dishes.

We have had our dishwasher for a month now. I run an in home daycare and we are a family of 4. The dishwasher works great! All the dishes come out clean and the machine is very quiet!! ... I love the hidden control button panel. That way the kids don't press all the buttons and mess up a wash cycle. I highly recommend this product!

Maytag MDB8959SKZ is assembled out of quality materials that guarantee its longevity. It holds up to 15 place settings, which makes it a great pick if you want to be able to clean a huge pile of dishes in one go. Besides, Maytag MDB4949SKZ operates at an impressively low 47 decibels, which is no louder than your normal convo. Trust us, you can’t go wrong with this one.

We love! love! our dishwasher. It holds a lot of dishes and you can put in your dirtiest dishes without PRE WASHING and it comes out immaculately clean. I have a family of 5 and we have dinner every night and we are so, so happy, especially the young adults who are home due to COVID 19 and whose job it was to wash those dishes. ...

The GE Profile Series is crafted with your big family in mind. Not only offers a large capacity, but this unit also puts an extra third rack that is great for your entire flatware collection, knives, and small utensils. This item can detect and contain uncommon leaks so that your floor is protected. Most importantly, the ultra-quiet operation creates a peaceful environment without compromising performance.

... Very quiet. Three shelves, and very adjustable. Easy to load and use. ...

Bosch understands how quiet its machine is so it comes with InfoLight that projects red light on the floor to let you know the dishwasher is running. This machine also has the advantage of an extra cycle designed for effective cleaning of pots and pans. Whether you choose white, black, or stainless steel, the Bosch SHPM65Z55N 500 Dishwasher will blend in with your kitchen seamlessly.

This meets all our needs for our family of 5--it fits plenty of dishes and is quiet enough to run any time of the day or night. I love the auto air feature, we typically run the dishwasher at night and they're ready to put away in the morning.

Stealing attention with a clean look, the KitchenAid boasts its FreeFlex™ Third Rack designed to fit glasses, bowls, and cooking tools up to 6 inches tall. Let’s also appreciate the stainless steel interior that resists streaks, stains, and odors while retaining heat, to help improve drying. Most importantly, the noise levels only end at 44 decibels, making it one of the quieter models on the market.

We love this dishwasher. We have a big family and only have to run it every other day. Extremely quite!

If your kitchen furniture is predominantly dark in color, let the GE Profile ™ complete the look. This unit catches the eyes with its black stainless finish which makes it look classy. And, hey, if you can’t deal with those leftovers anymore, calm down, because the Piranha Hard Food Disposer lets you use your dishwasher without pre-rinsing. Yep, it will pulverize food particles!

... This dishwasher both performs extremely well but it whisper quiet in doing it. Make sure you install the provided foam for silencing - it makes a HUGE difference. We also bought the 3rd rack for the top which is awesome! ... Overall, a great dishwasher especially if you have a large family with kids.

This one has everything you could want: quiet, efficient, and great looking. With a sound rating of 40 dBA, Bosch promises to “transform moisture into heat up to 176F to give dishes, including plastics, the ultimate dry.” The generous size provides 16 place settings as well as additional space on the third shelf. Furthermore, the responsive touch controls make all the processes effortless.

... Tons of settings. I've been running it now for over a month and each load is perfect. The small rack at the top is perfect and allows for a very full load of dishes. I used to run mine twice a day with a family of four and now it's only once a day because of the capacity of this machine. Looks great, too. Highly recommend. ...

Yup, the Thermador DWHD770WFP comes on the expensive side of this list but it has a large capacity to accommodate your large families’ dishes and is built to last. As for the sound, this dishwasher comes in at 42 decibels so it’s nice and quiet. At a fantastic price, this unit gives a nod to Wi-Fi connectivity for personalized control, notifications, and remote diagnostics via the Home Connect app.

Best dishwasher ever. We love all the features especially the flexibility of doing it remotely. Also, love the interior light, wash cycle projection on floor and star dry feature of this model!
