4MAUNFELD MLP-06IM

One of the best representatives in the category has dimensions of 55x52x44 cm that are comfortable for embedding, which allows you to rationally use the kitchen space. With not the largest dimensions, the unit accommodates 6 sets of dishes and supports 6 programs. Equipment, in addition to the usual ones, with special cycles is the best solution for all occasions. You can gently wash both lightly soiled kitchen accessories and those requiring thorough cleaning.

Thanks to the timer and sound indication, the operation of the equipment turns into a real pleasure. In addition, energy consumption level A + allows you to save on electricity bills.

The electronic control unit is conveniently located, and the presence of the display simplifies the control of the device. A positive point is the ability to use 3 in 1 tools, a negative point is the lack of a half load option.

How to take care of your dishwasher?

Careful maintenance of the machine can extend the life of the device for a long period of time.It also allows you to preserve its original appearance, which also plays an important role in maintaining the aesthetics of the machine.

The device must be wiped with a damp cloth both inside and out.

It is important to wipe the appliance doors thoroughly, as dirt can accumulate there and cause problems with opening and closing the appliance. You can just walk with a damp cloth on the typewriter, or moisten a cloth in a mild soapy solution and then wipe the device

The control panel of the dishwasher should be wiped with a dry cloth, as if water enters through the buttons, the dishwasher may break.
The mesh filter of the machine should be washed weekly. For this work, you need to get the bottom basket, unscrew the screws, and then remove the filter. It is washed in ordinary water without adding any products. Cleaning the dishwasher strainer In the same way, the blades of the washing shower should also be cleaned, but this should be done when the dirt in the form of scale and food debris has already been cleaned. You can evaluate how well the blades are cleaned by checking how they rotate. If their rotation is difficult, then the blades need to be cleaned again.
The door seal should be cleaned every 6 months. For this, a special tool is used, which is usually sold in a store with household chemicals, or in the store where the device itself was purchased.

Hansa ZIM 654 H with a minimum set of functions

The budget model is equipped with only the most necessary functions: a delay start from 3 to 12 hours with a setting step of 3 hours, a sound signal and 4 programs (auto mode, eco, intensive and quick wash).

Hansa ZIM 654H

To switch to half load mode, there is a separate button on the control panel. The rest are designed to turn on the device, select one of the 4 programs and set the timer. It cleans grease and deposits on tea mugs well, but if burnt food remains in pots or pans, try using a more aggressive detergent.

Water droplets can remain on the dishes for two reasons: the program you are using does not dry, or you removed the plates before the end of the program. An audible signal warns of the end of the cycle.

If you're on a budget, an inexpensive dishwasher with a 12 place basket is perfect for a family of 3 or a gift for elderly parents. There are only 4 buttons on the control panel, which can be dealt with without the help of instructions. But at night, turn on the best ones only when the door to the kitchen is closed - it makes quite a lot of noise.

3 Xiaomi Viomi Internet Dishwasher 8 sets

A leading Chinese brand has developed a dishwasher that is not only compact due to the height of 60 cm, functional features, but also an innovative control scheme using a smartphone.

The disadvantage of this type of drying is the increased consumption of electricity.

Which dishwasher is better to choose

When choosing a dishwasher, you need to consider what you take it for and where you plan to put it. If there is little space, narrow built-in models will be preferable. If there is enough space in the kitchen, try picking up a free-standing model of the floor type. Do you have a ready set? Then take measurements and set the optimal height, length and width for your purchase. This is the only way you can properly manage the space in the kitchen.

Looking for a device for the family? Then control the amount of utensils processed in one cycle. Well, if you are going to take the machine to a house where there are kids, make sure that it has an appropriate security system, and that the door does not open manually. Consider the parameters that play a role in a particular case, and then the selected dishwasher will not let you down even after many years of regular use.

Which dishwasher to buy

After reviewing the rating, many will probably say “yes, these are great options, but I wonder which one is ideal for an apartment and a house.” Alas, it is not possible to mark only one option. So, for compact kitchens, the best models of dishwashers will be one, and for spacious ones - others. In the second case, the Bosch Serie 4 SMS44GI00R would be an excellent choice, and if you want a built-in option, then you should choose the D 5536 XL from Asko.

Top rating and market analysis of 2019

The results of the analysis of statistical data on real demand and consumer preferences of numerous users of the worldwide network indicate that of the entire variety of brands on the market, the most popular among the Russian consumer are products of German (Bosh, Siemens) and Italian brands (Hotpoint - Ariston and Indesit ). And this is natural - serious manufacturers always value their name. Their products are presented in functional, comfort and elite classes. Unlike the economy class, such products must undergo a serious check for compliance with reliability and safety, and, accordingly, are more expensive. But having bought such a unit, you can be sure that it will serve you faithfully not for 3-4 years (as a cheap analogue), but for ten years with a full return on investment.

Overview of the rating of manufacturers in the segment of built-in dishwashers

Let's compare the market shares of the best manufacturers in percentage terms.

• 11% - Hansa;
• 12% in total - Hotpoint-Ariston and Indesit;

Based on the rating, we can say with confidence that Bosh is still in the lead, German quality and reasonable price are the key to the success of this brand.

Dishwashers - basic parameters

What is the best dishwasher? Modern trends in the style and design of the kitchen space are increasingly forcing consumers to give preference to partially or fully built-in models. Hidden from prying eyes, they are compact, do not spoil the interior, and do not show guests what any hostess is trying to hide. Traditional - floor and compact, thanks to their practicality and functionality, they are not inferior to their positions. Nevertheless, if we compare both options, except for the method of installation and saving the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe kitchen space, they do not have obvious significant differences. Note the fact that floor dishwashers are inexpensive compared to built-in ones.

A huge advantage over manual washing of dishes is time saving, the complete absence of contact of the delicate skin of the hands with stronger chemical components of detergents and high-temperature environments (up to 75 ° C). Top main selection criteria are:

• the number of sets of dishes loaded at one time;
• water consumption per cycle;
• number of programs and modes;
• noise level;
• energy efficiency class A–G (7 in total) – for the devices under consideration, it is determined based on the energy consumption for processing the device for 12 persons kWh per cycle:

1. high - "A" - 0.8–1.05 (<1.06); "B" - 1.06-1.24 (<1.25); and "C" - 1.25-1.44 (<1.45);
2. medium - "D" - <1.65, "E" - <1.85;
3. and further low F and G;

landing dimensions (height, width and depth, cm / maximum number of sets):

1. built-in - 82 × 45 / 60 * × 55-57 / 9-10 / 12-13 *;
2. full-size - 85 × 60 × 60 / 12–14;
3. narrow - 85 × 45 × 60 / 9–10;
4. compact - 45 × 55 × 50 / 4–6.

For small families, the optimal parameter is from 6 to 9 sets. A larger volume is most in demand among lazy and constantly busy people who accumulate mountains of dishes due to various circumstances, as well as for large families. Do not forget that the peak power consumption of these units reaches 2 kW, and not all electrical wiring (especially in old houses) can withstand such a load without changes - you should think about this in advance before buying.

What to look for when choosing a dishwasher

When planning to buy a dishwasher, a person must deal with several basic issues.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe kitchen and the installation location of the equipment.If your house is small, then it would be optimal to choose a high-quality dishwasher from narrow models (45-50 cm wide)

Is your kitchen spacious enough even for large units? Choose full-size models (60 cm), because they can wash up to 16 place settings at a time.

Dishwashers for the home can be installed separately or built into furniture. The second option is usually more expensive, but it allows you to achieve a holistic interior. In this case, we will not give specific advice, because it all depends on your preferences. There are also two connection methods - to cold or to hot water. And although in the second case you can achieve less energy consumption, in the summer, when preventive, reconstruction or repair shutdowns are carried out, you will not be able to use the dishwasher.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the drying of dishes. It can be either condensing or active. In the first case, the machine simply turns off, and the remaining moisture after hot rinsing accumulates on the walls, gradually draining into the drainage. The active one blows the dishes with hot air. This is faster, but consumes additional electricity

For this reason, it is especially important to consider the energy class. But not only him, but also the washing efficiency determines which dishwasher is best for the home (standards from best A to worst E)

Different devices differ among themselves and in the type of detergent used. If ordinary powder detergents are poured into the unit, then additional rinse aids must be added to them. Tablets contain two or more components at once, but are more expensive. Gels will require even more costs.However, their effectiveness is approximately the same, and much depends on the chosen program. Most often, dishwashers have Standard, Intensive, Economic modes, as well as Soak. But in new models, sometimes more programs are provided, the more there are, the wider the capabilities of the unit.

What to look for when buying a dishwasher

When choosing a specific dishwasher model, the following criteria are taken into account:

• type of instalation;
• dimensions;
• the number of sets for 1 cycle;
• functional;
• water consumption;
• noise level;
• washing and drying class;
• modes and additional options.

The best models of dishwashers contain 2-3 baskets - for dishes and cutlery. Many brands offer an additional glass holder. Adjustable baskets are convenient because they allow you to place dishes of different sizes.

Dishwashers use water sparingly - it takes more of it to wash dishes by hand. The maximum water consumption is up to 11 liters per cycle, and on average - 9-10 liters. The energy efficiency class of most models is A. Modern modifications are equipped with an economical program that is suitable for lightly soiled dishes.

When buying, you should not forget about the noise level. The quietest models have an indicator of up to 45 dB, the average value is 46-50 dB, the usual level is from 50 dB. Devices with inverter motors are the most silent.

Modern Zigmund & Shtain DW129.6009X

The built-in dishwasher with a capacious basket of two tiers washes well not only glass wine glasses, plates, but also heavy ducklings, huge pots. In addition to cutlery, long spatulas, skimmers, and ladles can be placed in the upper drawer. The aqua-sensor is responsible for the purity of the water.

Zigmund & Shtain DW129.6009X

The second built-in sensor determines the weight of dishes, the degree of soiling and independently selects the right amount of time and water to obtain the perfect wash. By the way, when you turn on the half load mode, you can turn off one of the rocker arms: the upper one - if you need to wash only plates and pans in the lower basket, the lower one - when washing cups and glasses in the upper tray.

In the arsenal of the model there is a bright interior light that will help control the process and determine the quality of washing. The function of reloading dishes without interrupting the program is useful if there are a couple of dirty dishes. The only negative is that the facade will have to be cut by 1.5-2 cm so that the open door does not cling and does not accidentally slam shut when removing the dishes.

Despite the large capacity, the model is characterized by economical water consumption and low energy consumption. 9 programs and 6 temperature settings allow you to choose the optimal settings for gentle washing of fragile glass and thick-walled pots. To improve the quality of the result, instead of combined 3 in 1 tablets, it is better to use salts, detergent and rinse aid separately.

What to look for when choosing

Experienced housewives advise when choosing a PMM to pay attention to where the new equipment will stand and the expected level of load intensity. If this is an average family of 3-5 people, a 45 cm dishwasher will be enough for comfortable and practical use.

It is also recommended to pay attention to the following criteria:

• Resource consumption. You can study the amount of energy and water consumed by looking at the passport of a particular model of the machine.These data will depend on the availability of programs and options built into the model. Naturally, the higher the energy class and the lower the water consumption, the more profitable it is for the owner. Choose class A ++, where the average fluid intake for 1 cycle is 10-13 liters.
• A set of programs and functions. A useful option is the half load option, when the machine will use half the energy and water when washing a small amount of dishes. An impressive set of functions and programs is not always needed in practice; it is worth relying on personal requirements.
• Dishwashing quality. If the device does not cope with its main task at the highest level, it will be useless. The parameter is evaluated by the washing class. It can be found in the device passport. It is better to give preference to A class. It is also recommended to set aside time to read real consumer reviews on specialized forums in order to understand how this or that model has proven itself in practice. Our TOP, which will be presented in the article a little lower, will be useful, because the information is based on an analysis of the opinions of real owners of dishwashers and experts in kitchen appliances.
• Reliability. Inspect the device and evaluate what materials the baskets and tank are made of, whether there is an Aquastop system that protects against water leakage. Preference is given to stainless steel, plastic is not durable. On the forums, you can also find out about the speed of device failure, how often consumers contacted service centers, what problems they encountered. All this speaks of the reliability of the PMM.
• Child protection. Good dishwashers have protection against children. It is definitely not worth refusing such useful additions.
• Noise level. The optimal choice is 45-52 dB, you don’t need to take it higher, as this will bring discomfort to your family’s life.
• Manufacturer. The brand of dishwasher and the country of assembly can also influence consumer choice. Well-established German brands that assemble in their homeland. But domestic producers are almost not among the best.
• Price. This is a subjective criterion. Many of the buyers want to buy a car at an adequate price with maximum functionality and durability. Some of them think that 20,000 rubles is an exorbitant amount for a home dishwasher, while others are willing to pay more, classifying the device as inexpensive. It's up to you to decide, besides, the indicator of reliability and quality is not always determined by the cost. Many expensive dishwashers are assembled at the same manufacturer base where the cheaper product segment is produced.

This is the main list of criteria that it is recommended to rely on when choosing a 45 cm dishwasher. But there are also a number of additional options that may be of interest to modern buyers

After analyzing the reviews on the Internet, it became clear to us that for many consumers it is important that the device is equipped with:

• Delay start timer. This option allows you to set the machine so that it turns itself on at night and cleans the dishes. In fact, this is the best solution if a differentiated electricity meter is installed in your house, because billing is much cheaper at night.
• Funds indicators. The user will be able to know thanks to the sensor that the salt and rinse aid are over and add them in time to carry out the wash.
• The use of universal means. Capsules and tablets are in demand for dishwashers, but it is more convenient if the model has a dispenser for them. If the appliance is not designed for 3 in 1 products, washing dishes will be less effective.
• Wash cycle end signal. This can be a warning light or sound, in some modern models of devices there is a "beam on the floor", which is an improved version of time projection.
