Dishwashers are essentially used for automatically cleaning dish wares and utensils. People commonly use portable dishwashers of compact size in residential settings due to such appliances' portability features. Additionally, less noisy dishwashers are preferably purchased by people worldwide to avoid the disturbing sound that usually comes from the manual dishwashers. The emergence of the shaded & colored dishwashers is likely to add impetus to the demand for such products. These devices effectively match people’s home décor needs.

For instance, in September 2020, LG Electronics Inc., a South Korean Multi-national electronics company, introduced a WIFI-enabled, smart LG QuadWash dishwasher in the U.S. market.
