Dishwashers Hotpoint Ariston: TOP of the best models

Parameters of narrow dishwashers - what to look for?

Service center experts and experienced buyers recommend relying on a number of criteria for choosing the best narrow dishwasher:

• Dimensions and options for connecting to communications.
• Possibility of installation in a niche of a kitchen set.
• Ergonomics and arrangement of dish baskets.
• The quality of the washing process.
• Software set.
• Drying and its configuration.
• Energy efficiency and water consumption.
• Leak protection type.

Dimensions, installation and connection

The size of the dishwasher is a feature that should be considered first of all if you have a small kitchen. Please note that narrow sinks can be not only 45 cm wide, but also slightly smaller or larger - by a couple of millimeters. If every centimeter is worth its weight in gold, you should take this into account.

Choosing a case will not be a difficult task - you can choose one of three options:

1. Full embedding.
2. Partial embed.
3. Stationary (freestanding) placement.

But given that stationary models require more space than built-in ones, our rating will include only built-in variations and models with a partial build-in method.

Connection. There are several types:

• to cold water;
• to a hot water pipe;
• combined.

The theory that models with hot water connection are more economical is considered controversial. This is not entirely true, because you also have to pay for hot water. Read more about the pros and cons of this type of connection in a separate review.

Dish box

When choosing a technique, pay attention to inspecting the trays for dishes. The more convenient the boxes and the more options for adjusting them, the better.

Separate elements will not be superfluous - cutlery trays, wine glass holders and other accessories.

Wash quality

Since the direct task of the dishwasher is to wash the dishes, it is completely unacceptable that she does not properly cope with this duty. And although the classification of the quality of the washing process has 5 levels - from E to A, you should not buy options with a sink whose quality is lower than A, otherwise why do you need such an expensive purchase at all? Not the worst washing performance for models marked with the letters B and C, but still consider only the highest performance.

Where can I find information about the washing class? Take a look at the technical documentation - this parameter is registered there. Also, the classes are always indicated on the energy efficiency sticker along with other main PMM parameters.

Programs and options

The quality of washing utensils also depends on the set of modes. Experts are sure that the minimum set of programs should be as follows:

• Main mode. The title may vary. Temperature +/-60 degrees, duration - 60-180 minutes.
• Super or Intensive.Hot water is used, it takes less time - about 90 minutes.
• Soak or Pre-cycle. The regime is needed to combat strong and chronic pollution.
• Fast or Express. Suitable for light dirt removal. Duration - 30-40 minutes.

This is exactly the minimum that will allow you to wash almost all the dishes and kitchen utensils in your home. The functionality of the latest models has been expanded to about 10-15 programs, but it’s not a fact that all of them will be useful to you.

Drying parameters

It is known that PMM also dry dishes. But they can do it in different ways. The vast majority of machines are equipped with a condensation dryer - in this case, the contents of the hopper dry out naturally. More expensive options are equipped with a "Turbo" dryer - in this case, the dishes are blown with heated air blown by a fan.

There is also the so-called zeolite drying, when a natural mineral, zeolite, is responsible for the drying process. During operation, it accumulates moisture, converts it into dry heat and returns it to the chamber.

There are also machines equipped with a heat exchanger, but in addition to drying, it also has many useful functions: saving resources, maintaining the efficiency of the ion exchanger, and others.

3 Midea MID45S110

This narrow-width (45 cm) unit is able to surprise and cause a lot of positive emotions due to its user-oriented design, excellent functionality and comfortable price. The dishwasher manufacturer equipped the interior with a basket that differs from the typical options in variable geometry.This feature allows you to rationally use every centimeter when placing dishes of various sizes.

The main functionality is represented by 5 programs, including an economical one, and 4 levels of the temperature scale. For washing, it is allowed to use the most popular products, including the “3 in 1” type. Up to 10 sets are served in one cycle with a water consumption of 9 liters. This is one of the ideal indicators in this category. Of the pluses in the reviews, consumers additionally highlight the presence of a tray for cutlery, a special holder, an automatic timer up to 9 hours, and a water quality sensor. Energy efficiency A ++ is also among the advantages of the design. Relative disadvantages - no built-in display and water hardness sensor.

The best compact dishwashers

Compact dishwashers suitable for small kitchens and studios. They occupy a minimum of space, while they have all the basic functions, without which the meaning of the device is lost. The good news is that miniature models are somewhat cheaper than standard ones. And the next two are direct proof of that.

2 Korting KDI 45130

The built-in dishwasher of the Korting brand with a width of 45 cm is a worthy rating nominee. A big plus of the model, which makes it attractive in the eyes of thrifty buyers, is the high energy efficiency class - A ++. The power of the device is 2000 watts. The built-in machine holds up to 10 sets of dishes, which is its competitive advantage in comparison with most TOP nominees. Water consumption is 12 liters. The unit offers 6 programs and 4 temperature settings. Condensation drying means that the removal of moisture residues occurs due to their natural evaporation.

Users recommend the device for purchase, including due to the presence of a partial load mode.The timer allows you to delay the start within 3-9 hours. The body of the machine is partially protected against possible leaks. The reviews emphasize that the use of “3 in 1” detergents, which already include special salt and rinse aid, is acceptable for the model.

Electrolux

“Thinking of you” is the motto of the Swedish company Electrolux today. Dishwashers can be both built-in and opt for a freestanding model. The company first of all attended to the organization of accessible service centers throughout Russia.

What makes Electrolux dishwashers different from the competition? Clear management (really, clear!), And also style. It’s not even worth talking about safety: the Swedes put it in first place in technology of any price segment. But the designers there also do not eat their bread in vain. Everyone will be able to choose a device that fits perfectly into his kitchen.

The most popular built-in model in 2020 - Electrolux ESL 95360 LA - costs 34,750 rubles. Energy class A+++, quiet operation, automatic shutdown - these features, plus 6 operating modes, attract buyers the most.

The most economical: Indesit DIFP 8B+96 Z

A dishwasher is a rather gluttonous unit in terms of water and electricity. The energy efficiency of a "dishwasher" is measured in terms of how much water and kilowatt-hours of energy it spends on one cycle of washing and drying dishes. In 2018, fortunately, there are dishwashers on the market with energy class A and above - for example, this new product from Indesit.

The DIFP 8B+96 Z is capable of washing and drying 14 place settings with 8.5 liters of water, a very efficient balance between performance and consumption. The energy class, in turn, of this machine is A ++, and it will spend 0.93 kWh for one three-hour washer-dryer. Reviews about this model characterize it as energy-saving, and we agree with them - the quality of washing and the consumption of water and energy are very balanced.

Advantages and disadvantages

Now I want to uncover the question of the general advantages and disadvantages that can be added to the load with the purchase of a Hotpoint-Ariston dishwasher.

See how the set of positive characteristics stacks up:

• I would like to note the system of rotating filters. Count on the fact that your dishes will be washed exclusively with clean water, and even a slight sediment will be removed from the appliance when drained;
• high-quality protection against leaks - this indicates the safety of the operation of the machine. All models feature a complete electronic control system that quickly shuts off the water supply. this is generally not typical for such a price of devices, but here the manufacturer did his best;
• I liked the successful set of basic programs. Here it is - a rational European approach to the functionality of household appliances. I'll cover this in more detail in the selection features;
• do not forget about the general set of advantages that the operation of the device carries. This is saving free time, disinfection and respect for dishes, efficiency, convenience.

However, my analysis almost never goes without a fly in the ointment:

• the brand has located the production of dishwashers in countries with cheap labor - Poland and China.This is quite a common practice, but very often it is this moment that causes a deterioration in build quality. In the case of Hotpoint-Ariston, the weak point was electronics. It is sensitive to network fluctuations, but this can be easily avoided by installing a stabilizer. In addition, there may be problems with the electronic unit, and the quality of the plastic very often leaves much to be desired;
• the declared drying class A does not correspond to reality. Machines from this manufacturer dry very weakly, but, in my opinion, this is not critical.
