Dishwashers in Canada: prices, warranty and what to ask

Updated 30 October 2026

A new built-in 24-inch dishwasher in Canada costs about CA$430 to CA$750, and premium models from Bosch and Maytag reach about CA$1,100. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites in October 2026. To see current offers for your kitchen, write a request on BlaBlaPrice, and sellers will reply with their own price and terms.

Energy and safety rules

Under the federal Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016, a dishwasher sold in Canada must meet a minimum energy efficiency standard, measured with the prescribed test procedure. Natural Resources Canada publishes the same energy performance standards, so an energy claim in a listing can be checked against them. A separate Canadian standard covers electric household dishwashers used in non-hazardous locations under the Canadian Electrical Code. Ask the installer to confirm that the unit meets it before connecting.

Warranty: what to check

Appliances sold in Canada come with a one-year manufacturer's warranty against design and manufacturing defects. Some brands add longer cover on certain parts: Bosch, for example, lists a limited warranty on the control board for the second to fifth year, parts only. Quebec has proposed rules that would require six years of warranty on major appliances, so the rules can differ by province. The federal Office of Consumer Affairs advises checking the laws where you live.

Size, noise and installation

Canadian listings quote built-in width in inches, and 24 inches (about 61 cm) is the standard size in these results. Measure the cabinet opening in both units before ordering. Noise is given in dBA: the quietest models in the results are about 46 to 48 dBA, while many standard units sit near 51 to 52 dBA. In a home that sees cold winters from December to February, keep the water supply and drain hose away from exterior walls, because a freeze can damage the valve.

What to write in your request

Say whether you need built-in or freestanding, the width in inches or centimetres, and whether a new or used unit is acceptable. Add the model if you have it, the features you want such as a boost cycle, your city (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa), whether you need delivery and installation with a water connection, and your budget in CA$. These details let sellers quote one price that includes delivery.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the dishwasher in your own words in the chat, and add a photo of the cabinet if that helps. BlaBlaPrice's AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them.
