The manufacturer offers many small-sized models, which makes it possible for owners of small kitchens to also install a dishwasher. Compact dishwashers are mostly tabletop, but there are also large units that can accommodate up to 15 sets of dishes at a time. Let's consider in detail the models of each type.

Freestanding units are slightly larger than built-in dishwashers, they are installed separately, therefore, such equipment is selected for the general style of the dining room. Let's give a description of the most popular models of this type of dishwasher.

ESF 9526 LOX - a full-size machine (60x60.5 cm and a height of 85 cm) with 5 washing modes. All basic programs are included, as well as additional functions: for example, a special program for washing not too dirty dishes and "pre-soak".

For 1 cycle, Electrolux ESF 9526 LOX consumes 1 kW per hour at a maximum power of 1950 W. The unit can be loaded with up to 13 sets (including glasses), which requires 11 liters of water to wash. There are 4 temperature modes for heating water, the dishwasher is equipped with an electronic control unit.

This dishwasher is able to wash any dirt, it "takes" both powder and tablets, as well as detergent from the "3 in 1" series.

Because of the small compartments in the cutlery basket, they simply do not fit in there. In general, experts talk about simplicity and ease of use, as well as the high quality of dishwashing in this model. You will have to pay for it within 30 thousand rubles.

ESF 9526 LOW - a dishwasher similar to the previous model in size, technical characteristics, and additional functions. Perhaps there are more disadvantages: for example, the noise level of this machine is higher, it washes plastic dishes with insufficient quality (drops remain after drying).

In this model, you need to lay out the dishes strictly according to the rules, otherwise there is a risk of getting a poor-quality result. By the way, the upper basket can be easily rearranged to any height, among the advantages is the presence of a special program, in which the unit washes the dishes in just 30 minutes.

ESF 9423 LMW - refers to full-size units with 5 washing modes, but slightly smaller in size than previous models. This machine is only 45 cm wide and is designed for 9 sets. For one cycle, it consumes 0.78 kW per hour, consumes almost 10 liters of water.

The heater will bring the state of the water to the required temperature based on the selected temperature regime (in this model there are 3 of them). The main wash in the normal program is designed for 225 minutes. The Electrolux ESF 9423 LMW dishwasher is quiet, reliably protected from leaks, equipped with appropriate indicators and a water level sensor.

You can use the delay start timer, the main thing is not to place the utensils in the washing chamber in a tight order, otherwise you will not get the desired result: the washing quality will be low, the dishes will simply not be washed well.

ESF 9452 LOX - this dishwasher is quite compact in size (44.6x61.5 cm with a height of 85 cm) and has 6 washing modes. In addition to the basic programs, there are additional functions, in which you can wash fragile dishes in the "delicate" mode.

There is an economy program for not particularly dirty cutlery, and heavily soiled dishes can be pre-soaked. The heating element is capable of heating water in 4 temperature modes, or you can immediately connect hot water from the central water supply system to this model, which will save electricity.

In general mode, the Electrolux ESF 9452 LOX dishwasher works for 4 hours and consumes 0.77 kW per hour per cycle. It works almost silently and provides high quality washing. But you need to load the dishes carefully, in this model there are very weak rollers for baskets, and the door, like the case itself, is very thin, it is easy to leave a dent on it.

ESF 9552 LOX - dishwasher with 6 automatic programs, extra dry and HygienePlus function. Holds up to 13 sets, which consumes 11 liters of water to wash. For dishes made of fragile materials, there is a delicate washing mode.

This model provides the best cleanliness of dishes better than all of the above. All impurities dissolve in it, and the result is an ideal result. The rinse function helps the detergent wash out well and prevents food residues from drying out on plates and utensils.

Electrolux built-in dishwashers are suitable for any kitchen, the models are quite narrow and will fit into any space. The size does not affect their functionality, such dishwashers have basic programs and are equipped with additional functions. Let's designate the most popular models from this category.

ESL 94585 RO - unit with dimensions 44.6x55 81.8 cm high with 7 modes with a capacity of 9 sets. It works with a basic wash for quite a long time - up to 6 hours, but it is quiet - it emits noise at a level of 44 dB. Electricity consumption is 0.68 kWh, water consumption is up to 10 liters.

The unit is completely protected from leaks, the flowing water heater carries out heating in 4 modes, which allows you to wash dishes of varying degrees of soiling.

But this machine cannot be loaded halfway, it does not have such a function as washing at ½ load. But you can postpone washing up to a day. Due to the additional washer, the dishes are made cleaner, however, stains can still remain after washing. It depends on the selected detergent component.

ESL 94321 LA - built-in model with 5 modes and additional drying. In principle, this dishwasher differs from the Electrolux ESL 94585 RO only in a smaller number of modes, the main technical characteristics are the same as in the previous model.

It works less in normal mode - up to 4 hours, the unit does not show how much is left until the end of the wash. It is almost invisible during the process, and this attracts consumers, as does the fast dishwashing program.

However, the big drawback is that this dishwasher does not always cope with heavy pollution. Often, the owners of such units have to clean the dishes with their hands, wiping off fat and burning spots. Not everyone likes it.

ESL 94511 LO - the model differs in that it has an economy mode and is automatically able to set up your favorite program. Experts note a fairly high level of cleanliness of the washed dishes. The technical characteristics are identical to the design of the Electrolux ESL 94585 RO, only the Electrolux ESL 94511 LO makes noise during operation.

But in normal mode, it works not six, but four hours, and each program provides for not only washing, but also drying dishes, so you don't have to turn on the machine additionally.

ESL 94200 LO - a narrow model with a size of 45x55 cm and a height of 82 cm is designed for washing 9 sets of dishes, has 5 main washing modes and additional functions. The latter include pre-soaking and an economical program for lightly soiled dishes.

It consumes 10 liters of water, which can be heated in three temperature modes. The quality of washing is good; sometimes, only when the machine in front is overloaded, the installed dishes will be poorly cleaned. This dishwasher has the lowest price - its cost is within 20 thousand rubles.

Electrolux ESL 94200 LO easy to install and easy to operate. However, you need to know that it hums very much during operation, the noise level is quite high - up to 51 dB. This dishwasher can be heard in other rooms even when the kitchen door is closed.

ESL 94510 LO - unit with 5 washing modes, slightly smaller than the previous model. There is a "pre-soak" function and a special program for not too dirty dishes. The unit is easy to install, but it should be noted that it comes with short hoses for water supply and drainage.

This dishwasher does not have a touchscreen display and, like the previous model, is noisy, which irritates some users. But it provides good washing, the upper tray is adjustable, which makes it easier to load large items.

In order for the dishwasher to function properly, you need to ensure that the main units of the unit are always in a technically correct condition. It is clear that the motor drives the equipment, but if, for example, the heating element does not heat the water to the required temperature, or the pump stops supplying it, the filter and ion exchanger clog, the drain hose and pipes become unusable, then you will have to go to the sink again.

And the pressure switch, which is responsible for the water level in the unit, is a necessary thing, and if it breaks down, the machine will not work. Almost all components in a dishwasher of any kind can be easily replaced, repairs do not take much time, a lot can be done with your own hands, the main thing is to find problem areas in time and eliminate the cause.

So you can see the product, as they say, face, touch and, if a defect is found, quickly replace it with another part.

You can always supplement the dishwasher with the appropriate accessories: buy suitable casters, a glass holder, a power surge protection device, various baskets for the washing chamber and other components, devices or items that increase the efficiency of use and extend the life of the dishwasher.

In order for the Electrolux dishwasher to last a long time, you must use it, strictly following the manufacturer's recommendations for operating the unit. A similar instruction is attached to each model, where individual features are indicated, but there are general rules:

• when choosing a place for a dishwasher, pay attention to the correct installation of the facade;
• it is very important to correctly load the dishes into the unit, each compartment is designed for one or another type of dishes, and they begin to lay it from the bottom tier;
• large utensils are placed below: pans, pots, cauldrons, ducklings and so on;
• when loading, cutlery (knives, forks, spoons) is placed in a special compartment;
• there is a separate holder or basket for cups, glasses, glasses - this is the upper tier;
• you need to pour the powder in a tray specially designated for detergents;
• then you can pour in rinse aid and add salt - each product has its own compartments, you cannot mix with each other;
• when the machine is loaded with dishes and detergents, you need to select the desired program and start it up.

If the mode is incorrectly selected, it is possible to cancel the start by stopping the program and restart the machine. The use of detergents (including rinse aid, etc.) should be based on the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.

Consumers are generally happy with their Electrolux dishwashers, noting their budget pricing. The affordable price made household appliances (including dishwashers) from this Swedish manufacturer very popular among the people.

But pricing is not the only thing that attracts attention. A very diverse range of sizes (from full-sized models to narrow and compact dishwashers) allows everyone to find the right option in the Electrolux line.

So, the owners of small kitchens note that due to such machines they have found a solution to the question of how to fit the equipment into a small space. Anyone who does not have the opportunity to build a car into kitchen furniture acquires a free-standing unit.

According to some of the owners, they are disappointed with the high noise of the hotel models. This is especially a problem when the door to the kitchen is missing. There are negative reviews on the quality of the sink, but still there are much more positive responses.

Experts recommend solving the problem of poor-quality washing by pre-cleaning the dishes from food debris and using rinse aid, and study the issue with noise in advance and simply refuse to buy such a model if it causes irritation.
