# Dehumidifying Dishwashers The Seimens Zeolith Saves Energy and Time By Meghan Young | Published 2010-02-16 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seimens-zeolith References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2010/02/zeolitic-dishwa.php) & [siemens-home](http://www.siemens-home.co.uk/home/learn-more-about/product-focus.html?article=Zeolith) I’ve never been interested in owning a dishwasher because not only do they take up a lot of energy, but my hands are just as much up to the task of cleaning those dishes. However, the Seimens Zeolith has me intrigued. Containing [moisture-absorbing minerals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meaco-dd8l-pro-desiccant-dehumidifier) called zeolites, the Seimens Zeolith heats them up as the [load of dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-ultrasonic-dishwasher) become squeaky clean. During the dry cycle, the zeolites release the heat they stored up and absorb the moisture from within. This is an [energy-saving cycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washing-machine-technology) that also saves time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Energy-saving Appliances:** The development of energy-efficient dishwashers and other appliances with similar technology can potentially disrupt the home appliance industry by appealing the environmentally conscious consumers. - **Sustainable Kitchen Products:** The growth in demand for sustainable kitchen products has a huge potential in disrupting the houseware industry by encouraging appliance manufacturers to develop more sustainable products. - **Smart Appliances:** The development of smart dishwashers will revolutionize the kitchen and appliance industry, enabling consumers to control and monitor the appliances through their smartphones or devices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance:** The home appliance industry have the opportunity to identify and implement sustainable technology to improve energy efficiency and sustainability, stay competitive and gain more market share. - **Houseware:** The houseware industry could develop new products that incorporate sustainable practices and materials, fulfilling the demand of environmentally conscious consumers. - **Smart Home:** The smart home industry has a great potential to integrate smart appliances technology into their ecosystem, contributing to a more efficient and automated household. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Powerful Small-Space Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lissome-r1.md) - [Sleek Large-Capacity Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haier-1.md) - [Steam-Powered Dishwasher Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-steam-cleaner.md) - [Compact Countertop Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-countertop-dishwasher.md) - [Hyper-Fast Countertop Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-solo.md) - [Whisper-Quiet Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeg-new-favorit.md) - [Automated Smart Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hisense-smart-built-in.md) - [Affordable Grease-Fighting Dishwashers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elista.md) - [Technologically Advanced Dishwasher Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-dishwasher.md)
