Abstract

Provided is a dishwasher in which a central immovable tray is constructed in a fixed state in which vertical movement and left-right or lateral directional movement thereof are impossible, a first movable tray is constructed to be movable in a left-right or lateral direction and movable vertically, and a second movable tray is constructed to be immovable in the left-right or lateral direction and be movable vertically, and thus, a relative vertical position of the trays is set such that even when the first movable tray has moved to the uppermost position, the first movable tray is positioned at a position lower than that of the central immovable tray, thereby allowing the first movable tray to smoothly move in the left-right or lateral direction without additional manipulation and maximizing user convenience.
