Q:
Does it really matter whether a dishwasher has a plastic or stainless steel tub?
A:
Premium dishwashers have stainless steel tubs because they are stain-resistant and more durable in the long run. Additionally, stainless steel has some impressive water condensing and heat-retaining properties that help to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the dry cycle. That said, if you are on a budget, dishwashers with plastic tubs work perfectly well and are less expensive. We'd just suggest finding one that has darker colored interior so it is less likely to show stains.
