Overview of the Hansa ZIM 476 H dishwasher: a functional assistant for one year

Hansa ZWM 446 IEH

In fact, the Hansa ZWM 446 IEH model was invented so that you spend as little time as possible in the kitchen. I think this dishwasher can really make your life easier, but with some nuances, which we will consider below.

Immediately count on the fact that this is a standard narrow version, moreover, a freestanding one. For such dimensions, we see a pretty decent capacity. The camera allows you to load as many as 10 sets of dishes, which is already pleasing.I think the appliance is able to wash not only dessert plates, but also larger pots and pans. I doubt the possibility of washing baking sheets.

There is also a fairly logical electronic control. Believe me, it will not be difficult to cope with the settings. You can even teach this to your growing children who are starting to help with the housework. By the way, the machine is equipped with a display. Honestly, it would be better if it wasn't. Power outages or power surges will cause him to swear at bugs. However, this is not critical and problems can be avoided by installing a stabilizer, and it costs a penny.

I want to draw your attention to the minimum water consumption, and the machine will eat a little electricity. I can call the operation quite economical - do not expect a serious increase in bills after purchasing the device

Let's look at the possibilities that the manufacturer offers us. In principle, this is the most standard option that one could come up with. The gadget works on 6 programs: intensive, economy, pre-soak and automatic modes. Everything is useful in everyday life, be sure you will not overpay even a penny for the extra. Judge for yourself: the miracle machine will wash partly dirty dishes after dinner, a seriously burnt layer of milk (soaking and intensive), and in which case it will determine itself how and what to do.

The list of practical benefits seems to me like this:

• Feel free to count on a great set of additional options. There is everything that will make it easier for you to use the appliance and directly wash the dishes;
• I like that the manufacturer has equipped the model with full protection against leaks. It adds peace of mind;
• I want to say that the machine is quite quiet. Even when fully loaded, the device does not rumble like a tractor and does not make sounds like a downpour outside the window;
• you will get quite a decent washing result. Ergonomics, by the way, is also not bad. You will not have serious problems with the placement of dishes.

Several shortcomings were also found:

• the assembly causes a lot of complaints, echoes of the PRC are immediately felt. All flaws are mostly small, but such an approach to business can be fraught with many pitfalls;
• Not all dishes placed in the dishwasher will come out dry. You will have to get the hang of setting it correctly so that the result shows perfect dryness.

Video review of the dishwasher machines model Hansa ZWM 446 IEH in video:

Positive

Dorofeev Pavel

At the first examination of the dishwasher, it seemed that she had a marriage. The problem was that the door didn't lock and closed abruptly. After installing the facade, the problem was solved by itself. By and large, this dishwasher is worth the money, you can take it, all the characteristics correspond to the declared ones. I have a car in the country, but not a built-in, it washes a little better than a new one. But Hansa also copes well with the main function, for the first three days all the dishes were washed in the house. For washing, we buy Fairy capsules. Conclusion: a good machine, let's see what happens next.

Gorchakov Vladimir

In general, for this price a normal dishwasher. It saves water, and most importantly time, which is always lacking. Of the detergents, I take the gel for PMM, I didn’t like the tablets, as there is a pungent smell. Of the six modes, I turn on only one. Decent build quality. There is nothing even to write about the shortcomings, except that the drying is not always ideal, but this is not the case in the car.So I advise everyone.

Andrey Shorikov

It didn't take long for me to figure out how to hook it up. But after carefully reading the not entirely successful instructions, everything worked out. I settled on 3 in 1 tablets and thereby simplified everything to the maximum. The unit works quietly, even if there is no door in the kitchen, it is not audible. I don't regret the purchase one bit. The only thing I want is a larger capacity, so that after the guests everything is washed at a time.

MuyMe

Choosing a dishwasher with a width of 45 cm in the store, I planned to purchase a German model. But in the Leroy Merlin store there were only two types of Hans. Not finding a single comment on this machine, they took a chance to take it. At the first start, I felt like an ancient person who has no idea about technology. They wanted to start the sink, but at first it squeaked, announcing the absence of salt, and then the absence of rinse aid.

The machine comes with a lot of dishes. The main thing is to put less contaminated appliances on the top shelf. The washing quality is good, but I'm not happy with the drying. The dishes remain very wet, so you have to take towels in your hands and wipe everything.

In general, I like this invention, I hope that it will work without breakdowns for many years. I turn it on about 2 times a day. Undoubtedly, a couple of plates can be washed under the tap, but after the guests, the dishwasher helps out!

Clementine

Well, it's just a super cool car at an affordable price! It is not visible against the background of kitchen furniture. It goes great with any design. It has all the programs you need, including a half load. Did not find any shortcomings.

Negative

Litvinov Alexey

I want to warn everyone that you should not place high hopes on this machine.Samples of other brands and in the expensive price segment are much more convenient. There is practically no drying in this Hans dishwasher. The instruction was translated by an illiterate translator, there are obvious inconsistencies. That's why I rate it 3.

b mari

I moved into my apartment and bought a dishwasher. Before that, I used a car in a rented apartment, so there is something to compare with. I have been using the unit for two months now, I can share my impressions with pleasure. For washing I put 4 points. The machine washes the dishes well, if you arrange them well. But the downsides are serious:

• Terrible instructions, with poor and inaccurate translation. Buttons do not match the description;
• the dishwasher had a marriage, the start button did not work;
• the service center works terribly, finds all sorts of excuses for repairs;
• after a month of operation, a leak occurred, the cause of which cannot be eliminated, the dishwasher is not repairable.

I concluded for myself that I would not contact Hansa anymore.

Anonymous

The dishwasher was bought when there were no reviews for this model on the Internet yet. I thought that this built-in dishwasher dries with air. And now I regret buying it. I will list all the reasons why I was so disappointed in technology:

• the powder is not washed out of the tray, why, it was not possible to find out;
• dishes are not washed well, so every time you have to soak them. Sometimes even the simplest dirt that can be easily washed by hand remains.

• you can’t make plates side by side, you have to make more distance, this also affects the quality of washing, and I put the top ones upside down, there’s no other way;
• dries horribly, if at all;
• vile squeaks at the end of the cycle;
• the instruction is generally a hell of a thing, there is no markup for the installation and fastening of the facade;
• besides, only thanks to the video on YouTube I understood where to pour the salt.

Features PMM Hansa

The products of the Hansa plant appeared on the market in 1997, and in the 2000s, residents of Russia were able to get acquainted with the equipment. Among the models there are both budget and middle class options. According to the installation method, you can choose the following machines:

• fully built-in narrow models;
• compact;
• stand-alone.

Dishwashers have low resource consumption. When loading from 6 to 14 place settings, the machines consume 9 to 17 liters of water. The possibility of rearranging the internal space of the chamber allows you to place large objects. The system remembers the last settings, so you can save time by selecting a program with a single keystroke.

Hansa's latest smart models are A++ class, which saves 64 kWh.

Functions and technologies

Are there mountains of dirty dishes left after meeting friends? With the Hansa dishwasher, you can even handle pots and pans in one go. The Flexi Space technology allows you to adjust the baskets, and the top Up&Down tray can be lowered down.

If you're hoarding dirty dishes every day for a full machine load, you don't have to with Zone Wash. At half load, only the bottom and middle baskets are washed, which saves water.

As well as:

1. multispray. The system rinses the appliances from all sides on three levels.
2. Bio mode. When using special detergents, enzymes are activated that qualitatively cope with pollution.
3. Aquastop. The machine is completely or partially protected against leaks.
4. Turbo dryer. Dishes dry much faster with a fan that blows hot air around the oven.
5. Beam on the floor. The machine notifies the user of the end of work.

This is not the whole list of programs that you can find in Hansa dishwashers. Let's take a closer look at popular models, as well as get acquainted with user reviews.

Advantages and disadvantages according to the owners

In general, buyers rate this dishwasher model positively.

The main advantages are:

• compact dimensions;
• a large number of dishes for one loading cycle;
• good security system;
• the possibility of partial loading;
• float switch;
• various washing modes;
• indication of consumables, etc.

The quality of dish cleaning, according to some reviews, leaves much to be desired, but other owners are completely satisfied with the result.

Perhaps the reason is not so much in the characteristics of the device, but in violation of the operating recommendations or improper installation. As with any built-in appliances, the installation of this model is neither simple nor easy.

The compact cutlery container takes up little space and allows you to properly arrange these small items so that they do not interfere with the processing of the rest of the dishes.

This requires attention and a professional approach. Connecting to the mains is easy, but connecting to plumbing and sewer systems requires skills in plumbing

In order for this dishwasher to function properly, it is necessary that not only detergent, but also water softening salt and rinse aid be available.

Some customers have encountered problems when one of these components was missing at the beginning of operation. Sometimes there is a problem with the installation of deep large plates, they do not always fit in the lower basket.

If necessary, the holders can be lowered to accommodate large items. You can also remove the upper basket from the chamber.

Place plates, cups and cutlery in the appropriate compartments so that they do not block the flow of water from the sprayers and do not interfere with cleaning

According to reviews, for such a dishwasher it is more convenient to use coarse salt, such as Finish, Somat, etc. Large granules are better detected by the sensors. Experienced owners recommend pouring and pouring everything you need into containers immediately before turning on the dishwasher.

If detergents crumble, scatter or spill, corrosion can occur inside the appliance. Another useful trick is to wipe the compartments dry before filling in the powder and salt so that the product does not get wet and does not cake.

What are the modes of operation?

In total, the device is designed for six modes of operation. The temperature mode can be selected in one of four settings, the temperature is from 40 to 65 degrees. There is an option designed specifically for cleaning glassware.

All performance parameters of the unit are class A, they allow you to save all the resources used.

In addition to the normal mode, you can choose an intensive or gentle wash, as well as ECO, short cycle or cleaning at 90 degrees.

Intensive mode lasts about two hours when heated to 65 degrees, it is great for cleaning pans, pots, etc.A standard wash is best done using the normal mode, with a cycle time of approximately two and a half hours.

It is recommended to use the three-hour ECO mode for cleaning glass and porcelain items. The delicate cycle is suitable for thin-walled glass goblets and similar glassware. It provides heating only up to forty degrees.

The mode of 60 minutes with heating up to 60 degrees is considered popular. But a short forty-minute cycle with heating to 45 degrees and without pre-flushing is rarely used.

Functions and programs

The design includes a delay start timer. However, the waiting period is limited. So, you can postpone the start only for 9 hours. This unit does not have the ability to automatically determine the degree of water hardness, and the device also does not evaluate the quality of cleaning the used liquid.

6 control programs are provided. When you select any of them, the temperature also changes. Value range of this parameter: +40…+65°С. Available programs: standard, ECO, fast cycle, intensive wash, delicate wash (for fragile items), it is also possible to load the device only at half, which is an advantage with a significant capacity of the unit.

The machine is carefully protected from leaks. When the hoses are deformed, it ceases to function, to draw water. There is no child protection. Detergent indicators are provided: salt, rinse aid. The device notifies you of the end of work with a sound signal. The built-in ZIM476H machine is connected only to cold water supply.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages include:

• the presence of full protection against leaks, which increases the reliability of the unit;
• a large selection of programs, the ability to change the water temperature in accordance with the task;
• moderate noise;
• low energy consumption;
• relatively low water consumption, which makes it possible to reduce the cost of paying utility bills.

To learn about the shortcomings of the unit, you should study the reviews. So, consumers note the presence of a short inlet hose, rapid abrasion of the working units of the pump. In addition, an uncomfortable basket for dishes is considered a minus, which makes it difficult to properly arrange items. As a result, the quality of washing is reduced. Another disadvantage is the mediocre quality of drying - drops of water remain on the dishes.

Characteristics of the Hansa ZIM 476 H dishwasher

Due to its dimensions, which in three dimensions are limited to 815x448x550 mm, the Hanza ZIM 476 H dishwasher belongs to narrow models. With a full standard load, it can hold 9 full sets of tableware, but it is not necessary to completely fill the chamber. The functionality of the model has the option of partial loading, which allows you to save detergent, water, electricity and at the same time not to accumulate dirty dishes in the house.

Built-in dishwasher has a fully built-in design, which is distinguished by the presence of a hidden control interface. With it, the user can choose branded Hot Air Drying class A, which will complement any of the 6 programs in different temperature conditions:

• 40 degrees;
• 45 degrees;
• 55 degrees;
• 65 degrees.

All of them have different durations, while one of them is designed specifically for washing glass.

Any of the washing programs is rated according to class A and is intended for some kind of pollution, which should be taken into account during operation. Achieving this with such a low water consumption (only 9 liters) is helped by the installed double sprayer, which supplies water to both main baskets at once.

All necessary programs can be delayed using the timer. It allows you to pause the launch for a period of 3 to 9 hours to work, for example, at night. The Hansa ZIM 476 H dishwasher will not cause any particular difficulties, since its noise level does not exceed 47 dB.

The main feature of the model is the energy class - A ++. It was achieved thanks to the consumption of electricity at the level of 0.69 kW / h per cycle. At the same time, there are no special requirements for the power grid. The voltage in it should be at the level of 220-240 V in order to ensure the efficient operation of the motor with a power of 1900 watts.
