You should expect your dishwasher to work for you, affording you the best cleaning performance possible.

A Brief History of the Cove Brand

If you’re familiar with luxury kitchens, then you’ve heard of Sub Zero. Sub Zero was the first upscale refrigerator brand and today is still sought out by homeowners, designers, and builders alike. In 2018, Sub Zero introduced their newest brand to label their launch into cleaning products, Cove dishwashers. Cove dishwashers were built after decades of research, testing, and technology to ensure perfect cleaning results every time. Cove is dedicated to the same spirit of quality and innovation as Sub Zero.

Why buy a Cove Dishwasher?

The appliance market needed a luxury dishwasher brand. Cove was the first dishwasher brand built specifically to address the needs of the upscale kitchen. Clients choose Cove dishwashers for their dependability, cleaning performance, and design.

Cove dishwashers are designed with flexible interiors, near-silent operation, and spotlessly clean and dry dishes with every load. With water nozzles strategically placed throughout the dishwasher; dishes get their cleanest. No pre-washing, re-washing, or spot-polishing needed. Expect your dishwasher to meet your needs. Pre-programmed and custom wash and dry modes and three separate spray arms expertly clean every dish from fine china to heavy-duty pans.A near-silent operation enables the dinner conversation to keep flowing while the dishes are being cleaned. With adjustable heights and tines, and two options for cleaning cutlery (both rack and basket), there is no utensil, tool, or pan Cove cannot conquer.

Cove dishwashers are also built to compliment your kitchen design. Cove dishwashers are designed to match classic Wolf and Sub Zero stainless steel or accepts custom panels to best match your kitchen design. In addition, all Cove dishwashers have LED lighting providing better visibility. Cove dishwashers have a stainless-steel interior, tested for decades of use. Cove dishwashers also maintain clean lines with a sleek control panel and floor status light.

Everything Custom

Custom handles. Custom cabinetry. Custom interior configurations. Cove is your flexible partner that never competes with the style of a room or the lifestyle of its owner.

Flush Installation

Whether you opt for a custom cabinet front or stainless steel, Cove dishwashers are designed to line up flush with your cabinetry for a sophisticated look.

Dry Dishes

Cove dishwashers are designed to deliver clean, dry, dishes every time. The Cove fan assist + condensation drying system dries every type of dish, utensil, and pan thoroughly.

Flexibility

Dishwasher racks adjust easily to differently shaped dishes and glasses with a height-adjustable middle rack and fold-down tines

Quiet Operation

Cove dishwashers are designed with 23 pounds of insulation providing exceptional cleaning performance that you can barely hear. The dishwasher comes with an indicator light to notify you if the dishwasher is on. It’s so quiet you can barely tell.

Any Drawbacks?

In a market where other top selling brands offer 50+ dishwasher models, Cove keeps it simple. Offering two dishwasher models with all the necessities takes the time and guesswork out of your decision. You know that Cove will deliver a top-quality product every time.

It would be naive to assume that Cove is the only dishwasher brand available. There are many brands that build dishwashers and there are perhaps thousands of products to choose from. Cove dishwashers are relatively expensive but offer many benefits outlined above.

Cove does not yet offer an ADA compliant height dishwasher. If a luxury consumer is designing an accessible ADA compliant kitchen, then there are other brands with ADA options that would be a better fit.

What is a dishwasher water softener?

Cove makes two dishwasher models. The difference is that the DW2450WS model has a built-in water softener. Most homes get water from a city water supply or well. Water hardness varies based on the minerals in your water. Homes with “hard water” have a greater concentration of minerals in their supply. If you have hard water you might notice more mineral residue on your clothes, hair, drinking glasses, or dishes. In some extreme cases water hardness can impact the performance of your appliances over time as mineral build-up can eventually lead to service problems. If you experience these issues, you need to consider a dishwasher with a built-in water softener. A water softener is designed to neutralize mineral deposits. To use a water softener, you add special dishwasher salt to the dishwasher’s built in water softener. The Cove DW2450WS dishwasher adjusts the amount of salt used per wash to the hardness level of your water for optimal cleaning performance.

Asko vs. Cove dishwashers?

Before Cove, Swedish luxury appliance maker Asko, was the premier dishwasher brand distributed by Sub Zero. Before Cove, Asko was the go-to dishwasher partner brand. If you’re looking for a lower priced dishwasher to match your Sub Zero or Wolf appliances, you can still order an Asko dishwasher with the matching professional and tubular style handles. Asko also makes one of the industry’s only outdoor rated dishwashers, a fantastic companion product for an outdoor Wolf barbecue grill.
