BLACK+DECKER has a long history of making dependable kitchen appliances that don’t overcomplicate things. The BDW100MS 24-inch built-in dishwasher follows that same philosophy. It holds 12 place settings in a stainless steel tub, which is enough for a family dinner or a weekend’s worth of dishes. The tall tub design means you can fit larger items without awkward stacking.

The real flexibility comes from the adjustable top rack. You can shift it up or down by two inches to create clearance for tall serveware or oversized mixing bowls. The lower rack’s fold-down tines let you reconfigure the layout for awkward pots or baking sheets. Six cycle options cover the basics—Heavy for baked-on casserole dishes, Delicate for china, and a Quick cycle for lightly soiled loads. The Smart Wash setting adjusts water and time based on what it senses inside.

One thing to note: this is a straightforward machine without smart connectivity or a third rack for cutlery. If you want Wi-Fi controls or extra utensil space, you’ll need to look elsewhere. But for everyday dish duty—plates, glasses, pots, and pans—it gets the job done without fuss. The stainless steel interior holds up well over time, and at this price point, the value is hard to beat.
