A dishwasher is a household appliance designed to automatically clean dishes, utensils, and cookware. It typically consists of racks or trays where items are placed, a water sprayer or jets, detergent dispenser, and heating element. Once loaded, the dishwasher fills with water, heats it, sprays detergent, and uses jets to clean the items. Afterwards, it drains, rinses, and sometimes dries the dishes, making them ready for use again. Dishwashers save time and effort compared to hand-washing, and they come in various sizes and configurations to fit different kitchen layouts and needs.
