How Much Should I Pay for a Decent Dishwasher in Australia in 2026?
What a decent dishwasher costs in Australia in 2026, using The Good Guys' own listed prices from about $399 for a basic freestanding model to $1,399 and up for built-under models, what installation adds, when dishwasher sales usually land, how The Good Guys and Amazon Australia compare, and going through ShopBack before you pay.

Short answer. In Australia in 2026, expect to pay about $600 to $900 for a decent 60cm freestanding dishwasher, and about $900 to $1,800 for a built-under model. At The Good Guys, at the time of writing, freestanding dishwashers were listed from $399 and installation from $119. Buying in a dishwasher sale and going through ShopBack before you pay are the two easiest ways to bring that number down.

How much should I pay for a decent dishwasher in Australia?

So what counts as "decent"? The Good Guys' cooking and dishwashers buyer, Tania Grillinzoni, says budget and mid-range dishwashers now include quick and eco washes, extra dry settings and flexible stacking that used to sit only on high-end models. In practice:
- Under $500: a basic, reliable freestanding machine for a rental or a small household.
- $600 to $900: the sweet spot for most families. You get 14 place settings, better water ratings, and often sensor washing or steam.
- $900 to $1,800: built-under and premium models that are quieter, fit flush with your cabinetry and add Wi-Fi or tall-tub capacity.
- Over $1,800: integrated, drawer and designer models for a kitchen renovation.
Add installation to the budget. The Good Guys lists dishwasher installation from $119, installation and delivery from $139, installation and removal of the old unit from $139, and installation, delivery and removal from $169. It says these from prices are indicative and vary by location, and they assume existing water and power outlets within 1m.
Dishwasher sale: when prices usually drop
A dishwasher sale can take $200 or more off a mid-range model. At the time of writing The Good Guys showed $200 off the LG QuadWash freestanding and Bosch Series 4 built-under models, and $315 off an ASKO built-in model, under its deal events.
The big sale periods in Australia usually are:
- Black Friday and Cyber Monday in late November, when most appliance retailers run their deepest online discounts.
- Boxing Day sales from 26 December.
- End of financial year (EOFY) sales in June, leading up to 30 June.
- Shorter retailer deal events through the year, such as The Good Guys' deal days.
If your old dishwasher still works, waiting for one of these windows is usually the single biggest saving. If it has broken down, buy the model that fits now and use the other steps below to lower the price.
Dishwasher sale Australia 2026: what to check before you buy
In 2026, compare the same model number, the delivery and installation cost, and the store's own price promise before you buy in any sale. Sale tickets look different between stores, but the model number does not.
- Measure first. Most dishwashers are 60cm wide. Compact 45cm models suit small kitchens, and the Haier 45cm Compact model is one The Good Guys stocks.
- Pick the type. The Good Guys explains that freestanding models can go anywhere with water and power, built-in models sit under the bench and are usually quieter, integrated models hide behind a cupboard door, and drawer models suit small spaces and half loads.
- Check the star labels. Australian dishwashers carry an Energy Rating label and a WELS water rating label. More stars usually means lower running costs over the life of the machine.
- Look at the real total. Add delivery, installation and removal of the old unit. An online-only model with delivery from $59 can end up close to an in-store model with free pickup.
- Read the price promise. The Good Guys' 30 Day Price Guarantee applies only to products bought with Gold Service Extras, and a claim needs dated evidence of the lower advertised price, lodged within 30 days of purchase.
Dishwasher sale best deals Australia 2026
The best dishwasher deals in Australia in 2026 are usually mid-range 14 place models from big brands that drop by $150 to $300 during a sale event. At the time of writing, the clearest examples on The Good Guys' own pages were the LG 60cm 14 Place QuadWash freestanding at $799 from a $999 ticket, and the Bosch Series 4 built-under at $899 from a $1,099 ticket.
Good deal signals to look for:
- A ticket price and a sale price shown together, so you can see the real saving.
- A reward from the store, such as The Good Guys' 90 Day StoreCash on selected products. According to The Good Guys, you need to sign up and activate its Digital Wallet before you buy, the credit expires 90 days after issue, each reward must be used in one transaction, and exclusions apply.
- Free or cheap delivery for your postcode, since large appliances can cost more to ship.
- A model one step below the newest release. Older stock often drops furthest when a new range arrives.

The Good Guys vs Amazon dishwasher sale price comparison 2026
In 2026 neither store is cheaper on every dishwasher, so compare the exact model and the full delivered price at both. Each one has its own strengths:
| The Good Guys | Amazon Australia | |
|---|---|---|
| Range | Large dishwasher range across freestanding, built-under, integrated and drawer types | Wide online range, from Amazon and third-party sellers |
| Installation | Booked installation from $119, with delivery and removal options from $139 to $169 (indicative, varies by location) | Depends on the listing and seller |
| Delivery | Home delivery, click and collect, and Next Day Delivery on a range of dishwashers | Free delivery on Prime eligible orders for Prime members, excluding select remote areas |
| Membership or rewards | 90 Day StoreCash on qualifying purchases (free sign up) | Prime at $9.99 a month or $79 a year after a 30-day free trial |
| Price promise | 30 Day Price Guarantee with Gold Service Extras | Prices can change often, so watch the listing |
Tip: if you are buying a built-under model that needs professional installation, a store that books the installer with the sale can save you a separate trade call. If you are swapping a freestanding unit yourself and you already pay for Prime, an Amazon Prime eligible listing may come out cheaper delivered.
Other places Australians buy dishwashers include JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Bing Lee, Appliances Online and Myer.

Go through ShopBack before you pay
Before you pay for an online order, go through ShopBack first. Nothing about the order changes. You still buy on The Good Guys or Amazon Australia, you just start on ShopBack Australia.
- Open the ShopBack app or website and sign in.
- Tap The Good Guys or Amazon Australia.
- Add the dishwasher to your cart and pay in that same session.
- Once the order is confirmed, the cash shows in your ShopBack account and you can withdraw it.
ShopBack is a post-purchase discount: go through it before you pay and the effective price drops. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.
Illustrative example: a dishwasher costs $899. At an illustrative 2% rate, $17.98 comes back to your ShopBack account, so the effective price is $881.02. Real rates differ by store and change often, and some products or services may not qualify, so check the live rate and terms on the store's ShopBack page before you buy.
To make sure it tracks:
- Pay in the same session you opened from ShopBack.
- Read the store's terms on its ShopBack page, since some products, gift cards or services may be excluded.
- Check before you use a promo code. Some stores only pay on orders that use codes listed on their ShopBack page.

Using a card reward as well
Some Australian credit cards earn points or a rebate on appliance purchases. Paying with one of those cards after you go through ShopBack can usually work alongside it, because the card reward comes from your bank and ShopBack's comes from the store order. Card terms differ, and some stores exclude certain payment methods or promotions, so check the merchant's terms and your card's terms first. More on this in how card rewards work with ShopBack.
