A dishwasher, comprising:
- a washing compartment;
- a sorption drying system to dry items to be washed, the sorption drying system including a sorption unit having reversibly dehydratable sorption material;
- a housing to accommodate the sorption unit;
- an air-guiding channel connecting the sorption drying system with the washing compartment to convey an airflow therebetween;
- and
- a heating device provided in the housing to heat the airflow, the housing including an inlet to receive the airflow into a lower cavity of the housing,
- wherein the heating device is disposed in the housing below the sorption unit and vertically above the inlet such that the airflow flows through the heating device and the sorption unit in a though-flow direction substantially against the direction of gravity.
