Aastianpesijät, often translated as dishwashers or automatic dishwashers, are household appliances designed to clean and sanitize dishes, cutlery, and cookware. They typically operate by spraying hot water and detergent onto the items placed within a rack system. The process involves several stages, including pre-rinsing, washing with detergent, rinsing to remove soap residue, and often a drying cycle.

The modern dishwasher automates a laborious chore, saving significant time and effort for households. Early forms of dishwashing machines existed in the late 19th century, but widespread adoption began in the mid-20th century with advancements in technology and affordability. Today, dishwashers are a common feature in many kitchens, offering convenience and improved hygiene compared to manual dishwashing.

Dishwashers vary in size, capacity, and features, ranging from compact countertop models to full-sized under-counter units. Energy and water efficiency have become significant considerations in dishwasher design, with many models now earning high ratings for their environmental performance. They utilize various washing programs to suit different types of loads and cleaning needs, from quick washes to intensive cycles for heavily soiled items.
