Before you buy new, see if appliance repair can quiet your noisy appliances.
According to market research conducted by a firm called Ipsos, noise is a significant concern for Americans shopping for new appliances. They found that over half of consumers consider sound reduction technology “extremely important” when purchasing major appliances including dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, and more.
Dishwashers were the appliance that worried consumers the most, with 68 percent of consumers reporting that sound reduction was an “extremely important” feature of a dishwasher and 94 percent reporting that sound reduction was either extremely, very, or somewhat important.
The researchers also found that consumers are willing to pay a premium for quiet appliances, with 87 percent of individuals surveyed reporting that they would gladly pay more to reduce noise from their dishwasher or washing machine.
If you are in a similar situation as the 29 percent of dishwasher owners and 18 percent of washing machine owners surveyed who said that they are not satisfied with the noise level of their current appliances, you may not necessarily need to buy a new appliance to solve your problem. Instead, try appliance repair.
As appliances age, many different issues can crop up that cause them to generate excessive noise. In the case of a washing machine or a dishwasher, the problem could even be operator error rather than any problem with the unit itself—if you overload your appliance dishes may bang together during the wash cycle or clothes may become clumped together and unbalance the drum during the spin cycle.
