The first dishwasher was invented and commercialized in 1893:
The granddaughter of a steamboat inventor (John Fitch) built or designed the first-ever commercial dishwasher in the year 1887. Her name was Josephine Cochrane. Before her dishwasher commercialization, no hand-operated dishwashers were actually commercialized. However, a lot of people invented several dishwashers that remained hidden from industrialists.
The invention of Josephine Cochrane was released at the Chicago World Fair that happened in the year 1893. That Dishwasher was initially named as “Lavadora ”, it consisted of a wooden wheel that was laid in a copper boiler along with several compartments (made up of wire) for the dishes. As soon as the dishwasher was loaded, the wheel used to turn with the help of a pulley and showers of soapy water used to fall into the dishwasher. Later, the same dishwasher was adopted by several hotels and restaurants.
