Your market has spoken. If your competition supplies them, so must you. --165.85.xxx.xxx

any home over 2 bedrooms YES. A one bedroom maybe not, those usually have smaller kitchen and cooking for one. Cooking for a family it may get you more rent or at least consideration by lookers. --172.59.xxx.xxx

GLR, yes in A & B units. IMO depending upon who your prospective applicants are I would consider even putting them in C units. That being said I don't have any in my units (northshore area) that rent for $2,500.00 or less. --96.237.xx.xx

My rentals are B plus plus plus an a dishwasher is almost mandatory. I’ve only had one tenant that use the wrong soap and it bubbled for a long time. all of my tenants can read And use t --99.23.xxx.x

Thanks for the responses. Steve(MA) what brand/model do you generally go with? --192.243.xxx.xx

for sure dishwasher is an amenity that helps justify your rent. --146.75.xxx.xxx

Dishwashers are as necessary as a washing machine. And they use less water than hand-washing by far, depending on how one does dishes. --73.216.xxx.xxx

In two of mine with a DW they don’t use them. So eventually the seals will decay and the new dishwashers won’t work without leaking anyway. Every tenant is different but if I don’t have one now it’s not something I’d ever add for the reasons you stated- might add one if I was remodeling to sell though. --47.201.xxx.xxx

GLR, I've had decent luck with GE, Maytag or Whirlpool with controls on the front & SS tubs. --96.237.xx.xx

For class B units, absolutely. Spend that extra money for a metal braided water supply line. --173.188.xx.xxx

We have high-end rentals with dishwashers. The brand doesn't seem all that important. I buy ones that have good reviews from other customers. Kitchenaid, Kenmore, GE. In our own house we have Bosch. So quiet that you can't tell if it's on or not by listening. They had to put in a little red light that projects onto the floor so you can tell it's running. --108.215.xxx.xx

My class B units all have them, only about half of my class C units have them. Generally, if I'm gutting a kitchen and there is enough room to conveniently get one installed then it will get one if it is a C+ or higher house. --99.64.xx.xx

We buy them at Costco when they go on sale. Don't remember what brand as long as it is not Samsung or LG. --73.216.xxx.xxx

I’m very few cases has the dishwasher been a deciding factor. Washing machine hookups have been much more in demand and also more difficult to accommodate. --162.204.xxx.xxx

Depends on the market. My prospects and tenants rarely ask for a dishwasher. Also most of my competitors in the area don't offer it. So, I don't have it in any of my rentals. One less thing to break. --45.134.xxx.xxx

New dishwashers have filter on the bottom where requires cleaning so if provided make sure knows how to remove then clean filter. Like any appliance will require maintenance. A fridge for example the back should be removed then all dust needs to cleaned with air compressor and shop vacuum as dust will act as a insulator which is going the compressor to work longer than the compressor will not last as long --216.110.xxx.xxx

Section 8 no - just another machine to break. --98.97.xxx.xx

unless space prohibits it or the place is a studio or a low end hovel...yes, a dishwasher is a nice amenity. ask your installer about the models they hate. i bought a nice LG for a better unit and the install was a GIANT PITA! VERY close tolerances, plumbing that was not typical...i do my installs and that unit was a FAT mistake. go with $300 units and make a point of advising the tenants that the thing drains through the disposal so they need to run that clear before the wash and also get the water nice and hot. --67.63.xx.xxx
