See:

for an example of what can be done using an SDR for characterizing your RFI environment.

I'll jump in here as I'd recommend you spend a bit less than $200 and buy the AirSpy SDR.  The reason is that the AirSpy can be used as a very capable spectrum analyzer that can cover roughly 20 MHz through 1.8 GHz in a single sweep and down to 10 MHz in a single sweep.  The app comes free with the SDR# download.  This makes it very easy to detect where the maximum emission level is placed in the spectrum rather than just looking in 8-MHz slices.  The AirSpy is a VERY good but economically priced SDR.  The 8-bit USB $12 dongles can not approach the performance of the AirSpy line of SDR receivers.  They are pretty much on a par with SDR receivers of 2 to 3 years ago costing over $1k.  Spend the bucks. You'll never be sorry!!

No connection to AirSpy other than a very pleased user of the products.

        All:

        I made a quick video of the Bosh diswhasher RFI (see below).
        There's considerable noise on 160 through 17 meters and
        virtually no noise on the 15, 12 and 10 meter bands.
