Ikea dishwashers: overview of the model range + manufacturer reviews

The main malfunctions of Ikea dishwashers

Based on the entire top, you can make a list of problems that are most common among IKEA dishwashers.

The main problem seen on all models is the poor cleaning of especially strong pollution. This makes it necessary for the user to soak dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, or to wash them themselves after.

Also, many users notice inconvenience when using cutlery baskets and less than expected top basket assembly on expensive dishwashers.

The unreliable sensors of the thermal electric heater fuses deserve special attention, which also reduces the quality of purification.

Some users have noted the insecurity of the door fastening and the weak operation of the water softener installed in all models, which significantly reduces the life of the device.

Who produces PMM IKEA

The main principle of the famous Swedish company, founded in 1943, is democracy. Democratic design, affordable prices, high quality products for any country in the world. To implement this condition, a complex system of logistics, production, quality control was created. On the label of a product purchased at IKEA, it can be written not only “made in Sweden”, but also “in Russia”, “Bulgaria”, “Brazil”, “China”, “Poland”, and many other countries. But, despite such internationality, the end result of production must always meet the requirements of the main office, which is located in the city of Delft (Netherlands).

The developers of the Electrolux and Whirlpool trademarks, known for their reliability and high technology, had a hand in the creation of "IKEA" household appliances. Therefore, you do not have to worry about the quality of the dishwasher. You just need to choose the right model.

Pros and cons of PMM from Ikea

Models are actively sold in Ikea branded stores, so there are enough reviews. Among them there are positive ones that characterize dishwashers only from the best side, and negative ones that affect their weaknesses.

Users like the following:

• machines fully comply with the parameters declared by the manufacturer;
• economical washing programs ("Eco", "Fast") justify themselves;
• almost all options are convenient and actively used;
• there is nothing superfluous in the machines - only useful functions;
• quiet operation does not create a "noise curtain";
• detailed documentation with specifications and installation instructions;
• convenient sections for placing various utensils.

Embedding the model is easy, according to the manufacturer's schemes. The dimensions of the models are standard, so there are no problems with installation and connection.

The disadvantages often include poor rinsing of glass and ceramic objects. However, white stains are easy to eliminate if you choose the right detergent.

There are complaints about insufficient cleaning of heavily soiled pans and pots. Such items must first be soaked, as the power of the dishwasher is not enough to completely clean them from burnt food, a thick layer of fat or colored stains.

Many are captivated by a long warranty period - 5 years (except for the Lagan model). If during this period any parts fail, the company undertakes to replace it free of charge - you will not have to look for spare parts yourself.

Ikea dishwasher differences

The main feature of PMM "Ikea" is a limited range of manufactured equipment: there are only 7 models. The machines were created with the participation of specialists from well-known manufacturers of washing machines Electrolux, Whirlpool.

Features of Ikea dishwashers are as follows:

1. PMM were created for full embedding in production furniture. Machines of other brands are difficult to install in the headset: they do not have special slider mounts (with a sliding hinge).
2. The devices comply with European standards and have a full range of functions. All of them are built into furniture sets, the dishwasher door is decorated under the facade of cabinets.
3. The price range of the Ikea PMM is from 20 to 50 thousand rubles: the more expensive the device, the more features it is equipped with.

Beko DFS05010W

The products of the Turkish brand Beko have long been known to us and have won many fans among our consumers.This is a narrow-profile manufacturer that deals only with large kitchen appliances, including dishwashers.

The Beko DFS05010W model has a narrow body type with a chamber capacity for 10 place settings. This volume is enough for 3-4 people, and even with a small margin (suddenly some friend will come to visit or relatives will come).

Although the device has a fairly high performance, but this does not affect the efficiency or resource consumption. Therefore, energy consumption, washing and drying are A class.

The control, as expected, is electronic, but there is no display, and the indication is made by LEDs.

The set of programs in Beko DFS05010W is minimal and consists of economical, intensive, standard and fast modes. In my opinion, a very useful half load feature when you do not need to collect dishes to load the machine. Delay start will make sure that the machine starts working at a convenient time for you.

The security system is limited only to protection against water leaks, I am very pleased that it is complete and also extends to hoses.

Summing up, I can say about the following advantages of the Beko DFS05010W model:

• low cost;
• simple control;
• the set of functions includes only the essentials;
• does his job well;
• economical.

I have noticed the following shortcomings:

• no display;
• no protection from children;
• a bit noisy.

Criterias of choice

Let's dwell on what criteria you need to choose a dishwasher so that it is right for you.

The size

The main characteristic of the dishwasher is its dimensions. All cars are divided into full-sized, narrow and compact. Large dishwashers are designed for large volumes of dishes and can accommodate up to 14 sets. Narrow appliances have a width of about 45 cm and a height of up to 82-85 cm. They are quite roomy and are designed for 9-10 sets of dishes.

Compact devices are quite small compared to other types of dishwashers, the width can be from 55 to 60 cm, and the height is much less - only 40-48 cm. Naturally, the unit will hold a small amount of dishes - only 4-6 sets.

Control

The control of all dishwashers is electronic and differs only in the presence or absence of a display. It is so simple that even a child can easily handle it. This ease of use makes routine dishwashing a favorite pastime.

Drying method

Drying in dishwashers is carried out by three methods: condensation, active and turbo drying. The condensation type of drying is the most common and is considered the most economical, since it does not require additional electricity costs. The process occurs due to the condensation of moisture on the walls of the chamber, which gradually flows down.The only caveat of this method is the drying time, it is quite long. If you turn on the machine at night, then this minus will not be noticeable.

Operating modes

The program set in dishwashers is divided into standard and additional. Usually, standard programs do not differ depending on the model and are as follows: normal for everyday washing, express - fast program (from 15 to 40 minutes depending on the machine) and intensive for heavily soiled dishes. Additional modes vary more from model to model. For example, not all machines have a pre-soak or economy mode.

energy efficiency

This indicator is responsible for the amount of resource consumption (water, electricity) by the device. Usually, inexpensive models are assigned an energy efficiency class A, that is, quite acceptable and economical consumption. In more expensive models, you can find A + and A ++.
