The best compact dishwashers

Built-in models of small sizes are not common goods. There are more stand-alone offers on the market than fully built-in ones.

Perhaps this is due to the great demand for dishwashers, which, if necessary, can be rearranged as far as the hoses allow, or taken out of town for a while.

In terms of cost, small models are not inferior to large ones - the minimum price tag is slightly less than 20 thousand rubles, the maximum is up to 80 thousand rubles. The rating includes dishwashers, which are in the greatest demand of consumers.

Seat #1 - Flavia CI55 Havana

The only minus of the Flavia PMM is that the noise level is higher than that of competitors. But it, despite its size, has wide functionality and the lowest cost, which is a decisive factor for many buyers.

• Power (W) - 1280
• Capacity (set) — 6
• Noise (dB) - 52
• Number of programs - 7
• Cost (rub.) — 17 700

Like large PMM, the compact model has full protection against leaks and a useful “delayed start” function.

If the 52 dB noise seems loud, then you can set the timer for a convenient time, and the machine will start washing when everyone leaves the apartment.

The single loading basket holds 6 place settings, which is standard on all compact dishwashers.If you need to wash more items, you can use the quick wash and run the machine several times.

Seat #2 - MAUNFELD MLP-06IM

The economical built-in PMM brand MAUNFELD came in second place also due to the relatively low cost, reliability and availability.

This economical dishwasher is quieter than its predecessor, spends half a liter less water in 1 cycle, but is inferior in the number of programs.

Technical characteristics of the compact dishwasher MAUNFELD MLP-06IM:

• Energy Efficiency - A+
• Energy consumption / 1 cycle (kWh) - 0.61
• Cons. water / 1 cycle (l) - 6.5

• Power (W) - 1280
• Capacity (set) — 6
• Noise (dB) - 49
• Number of programs - 6
• Cost (rub.) — 19 600

Seat #3 - AEG F55200VI

The representative of the AEG brand would easily take 1st place if it were not for the high cost. For a compact model, the price tag is 37 thousand rubles. unusual, even considering the respectability of the brand.

For the same money, you can purchase a multifunctional unit for 13 sets - of course, provided there is enough space for placement.

Technical characteristics of the compact dishwasher AEG F55200VI:

• Energy Efficiency - A
• Energy consumption / 1 cycle (kWh) - 0.63
• Cons. water / 1 cycle (l) - 7
• Management - electr.
• Power (W) - 1200
• Capacity (set) — 6
• Noise (dB) - 45
• Number of programs - 5
• Cost (rub.) — 37 850

The machine has only 5 programs, but they will help out in any situation: if you need to quickly wash very dirty dishes, muffle the noise as much as possible or increase the water temperature.

Intuitive electronic control facilitates the process of choosing programs, and a convenient indication tells you when to add salt or replace a tablet.

The dishwasher has practically no complaints and has proven itself well, however, those who want to buy a reliable unit may encounter a lack of a model in stock.

It is better to think about the purchase in advance and place an order - this advice applies to the purchase of all expensive compact built-in PMMs.

The main characteristics that you need to pay attention to when choosing a dishwasher for your home

Before choosing an assistant in the kitchen, you need to decide what features you need

Performing, at first glance, a simple function, a modern dishwasher is a complex device. When choosing a dishwasher, you have to take into account many characteristics that determine the feasibility of a far from cheap household appliance.

By size

The optimal choice of a home dishwasher is based on performance, which largely depends on its size. According to these parameters, PMMs are divided into full-size, narrow and compact.

The generally accepted width of full-size models is 60 cm. For narrow ones, this figure ranges from 30 to 45 cm. The standard depth of both options is 60 cm, and the height is 85. To fit the latter parameter, most dishwashers are equipped with adjustable legs. Among compact devices, which are also built-in and freestanding, a height of about 45 cm is common.

By capacity

The performance of the PMM is determined by the volume of the loading chamber. Full-size models are designed for the simultaneous washing of 10 to 16 sets of dishes, which allows you to serve a family of four to five people. The capacity of narrow dishwashers ranges from 8-10 sets, compact ones clean up to five in one cycle.

According to the design of baskets, pallets

Compact desktop models are equipped with a retractable basket containing a compartment for washing cutlery. The layout of the rest of the dishwashers can be classic and modern.

The classic version implies the presence of two large baskets, designed for large and small dishes. The set includes a compartment for cutlery. In the modern version, the PMM includes three baskets located one above the other. The containers differ in the way the dishes are placed and the design of the holders.

The way of laying the dishes depends on the manufacturer of the PMM and the specific model.

By class

The water consumption of dishwashers is directly related to their capacity. For compact desktop models, 7-10 liters are enough for one cycle, for full-size devices - 14 liters.

The opinion that the dishwasher is uneconomical is wrong. It's more of a low-end home appliance. PMM ABC class consumes from 0.7 to 1.05 kW of electricity. For A+ and A++ devices, this figure corresponds to 0.6 and 0.4. The power of class B dishwashers ranges from 1.07 to 1.1 kW. In the C-class, it is kept in the range of 1.1–1.5 kW. In units marked D and E, the energy consumption reaches 2.3 kW, while for F, G it exceeds 2.7 kW.

Washing and drying PMM is subject to the same classification.The quality of cleaning dishes is determined by classes from A to E. The best option implies that the washed items shine with impeccable cleanliness at the exit, which low-budget economy class devices cannot please.

In machines classified as A dryers, warm, flavored air is forced into the dishes. In G-class fixtures, cutlery dries by condensation.

By set of programs

The extended functionality of the dishwasher is proportionally reflected in the price. At the same time, in everyday life, no more than 6 modes are used more often, presented:

• normal;
• intense;
• accelerated;
• with soaking;
• economical;
• delicate (for fragile dishes).

High-end models are endowed with half-load functions, sterilization, child protection, water hardness detection and other programs that most PMM owners are not even aware of.

You will have to pay a considerable amount for the presence of additional functions.

By noise level

Dishwashers with a noise level not exceeding 50 dB are considered the most comfortable. For expensive models, this figure is 40–45 dB. A normally working dishwasher can be compared in volume with a calm human conversation. Cheap low-end models are noisier.

The noise that increases with the operation of the device indicates the loosening and wear of parts, and therefore the unsuitable quality of the product.
