If you’re considering a Thermador dishwasher, you’re looking at one of the most refined and trusted names in luxury kitchen appliances. Known for innovation, craftsmanship, and quiet performance, Thermador has built a legacy that extends well beyond its iconic ranges and refrigerators. Their dishwashers are part of that same Radiance Collection of premium products—engineered to deliver sparkling results, sleek design, and near-silent operation.
Let’s take a closer look at what sets Thermador dishwashers apart and how to choose the right one for your kitchen.
Thermador organizes its dishwashers into three distinct tiers within the Radiance Collection—Emerald, Sapphire, and Star Sapphire—each offering its own level of technology, performance, and luxury.
The Emerald Series is the entry point into Thermador’s premium lineup, but it’s far from basic. One of its signature touches is the PowerBeam, a soft blue light that projects onto your floor to show when a cycle is running.
Inside, you’ll find the Chef’s Tool Drawer—a thoughtfully designed third rack that gives utensils, knives, and other kitchen tools their own space. Combined with a three-level adjustable upper rack, this setup lets you easily load cookware of different shapes and sizes.
And at just 48 decibels, Emerald dishwashers are pleasantly quiet, perfect for open kitchen spaces or late-night loads.
Stepping up to the Sapphire Series adds both flexibility and performance. The upgraded third rack now features adjustable wings, allowing you to accommodate ladles, spatulas, and larger utensils.
Cleaning power gets a major upgrade with Zone Control Spray Arms, which let you direct concentrated cleaning power where it’s needed most. Pair that with flexible tines, and you can handle mixed loads—pots on the bottom, delicate dishes on top—without compromise.
Drying performance shines too, thanks to StarDry with Zeolite, a mineral-based drying system that absorbs moisture and releases heat for exceptional drying results, especially for plastics. These models operate at a whisper-quiet 44 decibels, so you’ll barely notice they’re running.
At the top of the line sits the Star Sapphire, Thermador’s most advanced dishwasher. At an ultra-quiet 42 decibels, it’s nearly silent—and it adds premium features designed for entertaining and convenience.
The Time Remaining PowerBeam projects a countdown onto the floor, letting you know exactly how long is left in your cycle. Inside, there’s room for up to 18 wine glasses at once, with dedicated racks that keep stems secure. Activate Crystal Protect, and your glassware will emerge spotless, free from hard water stains.
Another bonus: You can customize the interior lighting, changing colors to match your kitchen’s mood or aesthetic.
All Thermador dishwashers include Wi-Fi connectivity through the Home Connect app, allowing you to monitor and control your dishwasher from anywhere. You can:
Once you’ve chosen your model, Thermador lets you personalize its look with three design options:
Whether your aesthetic is industrial, contemporary, or minimalist, Thermador offers a finish to match.
Thermador’s Radiance Collection dishwashers deliver a rare combination of elegance, silence, and power. With thoughtful design details, smart connectivity, and premium drying technology, they’re engineered to make daily life easier—and more beautiful.
From the reliable Emerald, to the refined Sapphire, to the luxurious Star Sapphire, each model is built to deliver professional results with minimal noise and maximum style.
