How this list is built: every entry comes straight from the ENERGY STAR certified-product dataset for dishwashers (697 models), ordered by certified annual kWh. The certified annual kWh assumes 215 wash cycles per year (the DOE standard, roughly 4 loads a week) and includes the energy to heat water.
