A dishwasher with a cutlery tray makes it a lot easier to load and unload cutlery. These dishwashers have a separate tray in the top to place your cutlery in. That way, your cutlery will stay in place while it's being washed, so it'll be cleaner afterwards. Freestanding, under-counter, and built-in dishwashers can all have a cutlery tray. In addition, the cutlery tray also gives you more room in your dishwasher's upper and lower rack for plates, cups, bowls, and pans.
