An overview of the most reliable dishwashers

The dishwasher greatly facilitates the life of housewives - it saves time, money and protects the skin of the hands from constant contact with detergents... Freestanding cars have excellent functionality, but are considered an inconvenient option due to their bulky appearance and inconsistency with the interior aesthetics. The most popular today are built-in alternatives that hide unnecessary technology from the eyes. In addition, due to the compactness of these modern devices, even the owners of tiny kitchens can afford a dishwasher.

The main advantage of built-in machines is invisibility. Disguised as a kitchen cabinet, the dishwasher does not confuse the arriving guests with heaps of equipment.

The brand-manufacturer plays an important role. The cars of the firms that are well known (Germans Siemens or Bosch, as well as Italians Indesit) are bought by users most often. The equipment of large manufacturers is more expensive, but it has better quality characteristics and a long service life, which can be up to 10 years without the need for repairs. Small manufacturers, little known on the market, are not always inferior in quality, but in most cases they do not supply such a long-lived product (the service life of economy-class dishwashers is approximately 3 to 4 years).

In built-in models, machines with a width of 60 and 45 cm are distinguished.The latter option is perfect for small-sized kitchens, for which a narrow machine that does not take up extra space is a salvation. Among the 45 cm dishwashers, the following models are in demand.

The Weissgauff device is a budget option for those who need a small machine with good functionality. Despite its small size, the model is quite spacious - it can fit up to 10 sets of dishes, that is, the machine will cope with an influx of guests from 10 people. The dishwasher itself is compact and convenient, easy to use and has 4 washing programs. The model consumes little electricity, which cannot be said about water consumption. Perhaps, water consumption is the only drawback of this machine. If water bills are not scary, then the BDW 4134 D is the perfect solution for a small family with a small kitchen. The average cost is from 20 thousand rubles.

An excellent dishwasher with decent performance in a small space. The model is spacious and allows you to place up to 9 sets of dishes, which can be washed using 5 programs: from the standard mode to the accelerated and intensive wash. The operation of the dishwasher is simple and intuitive, but the panel of the machine is equipped with electronic symbols that inform the owner of a possible problem (for example, the required replacement of salt). The only drawback that you can find fault with is the lack of a timer and a little noise during operation. However, these disadvantages are not so significant. In terms of price-quality ratio, the dishwasher is definitely good: you can buy it on average from 25 thousand rubles.

Siemens has always been renowned for producing some of the most reliable dishwashers on the market. The SR 635X01 ME model is no exception: the user is offered a stylish, powerful device with a high-quality set of 5 programs for a relatively low price, including the option of delicate washing. The dishwasher can hold up to 10 sets of dishes. The model is equipped with both an electronic panel with indicators and a timer that can postpone the start of washing until the specified time.

Budget model for small kitchens and small wallets... Despite its frugality, the quality of the dishwasher is not inferior to older comrades.

The standard amount of the placed dishes is 10 sets, the holders for glasses and convenient baskets are in stock. A huge plus is that the dishwasher does not make much noise during the process. The machine has a clear display, convenient electronic control and all the necessary indicators, which makes it pleasant to use, despite its low cost - from 21 to 25 thousand rubles.

Larger machines with a standard width of 60 cm are suitable for all kitchens, from medium sized rooms. According to repairmen and designers, built-in 60 cm models are an ideal solution for owners of large apartments and large families with children.

It is possible to load up to 12 sets of dishes into the machine, however, if the chamber cannot be completely filled, a half wash is acceptable. At the same time, the machine has a low noise level and low water consumption (up to 11 liters per use). The cost of one model, despite the improved characteristics and large dimensions, is quite budgetary - from 23 thousand rubles.

The device is from the same company, but this time it is larger: the dishwasher is designed for as many as 14 sets. In addition to the increased capacity, the machine has acquired an expanded number of programs, among which there are eco and delicate washing modes, as well as the ability to soak dishes.

Quiet and spacious model with comfortable controls. The volume of loading is decent - 14 sets, while there is the possibility of removing the glass holder. Half load is permissible, while large waste of water is not to be feared: the approximate consumption per use is 12 liters, which is a good indicator for machines of this volume. The machine does an excellent job, thoroughly rinses and dries dishes, while being relatively inexpensive - the average cost starts from 26 thousand rubles.

In the built-in model from Bosch, the total capacity is slightly reduced - 13 permissible sets, but in fact there is more space.

Freestanding machines are a full-fledged dishwasher, freely located in the kitchen. In addition to the main factors of choice - functionality and general characteristics - designers recommend paying attention to the design of the machine and the location of the control panels.

By size, the machines are divided into narrow and full-size. Some manufacturers produce very small devices that can be easily installed under the sink. Among narrow models, machines of the following companies are popular.

The slim freestanding machine has good power, high quality dishwashing performance and a fairly compact size. The model has 6 programs, there is a separate mode for glass and simple rinsing. A distinctive feature of the machine is the AirDry drying, which helps to dry dishes by creating natural ventilation. The machine has good performance - low electricity consumption and low noise level during operation. The average price is 35 thousand rubles.

A fairly sophisticated model with 7 washing programs and quiet operation, which allows you not to stress the machine at night...

The dishwasher has a good, clear display and is easy to use, which makes it an excellent free-standing option for a cost price of 28 thousand rubles.

In accordance with the price-quality and functional content, today we can single out a small top of the best full-size machines.

Bosch is one of the market leading brands for the production of technology... Despite the fact that the price of good models is also eminent, you can overpay for proven quality. This dishwasher has an impeccable appearance on the outside and no less sophisticated characteristics on the inside: the device is powerful and works at high speeds, while remaining almost completely silent and not interfering with loud sounds.

The device is completely protected from overflow, so the machine can be called one of the best in terms of reliability. Despite the fact that the storage volume may seem small compared to other models (up to 12 sets), this is quite a standard amount of dishes for a medium-sized family. The dishwasher uses resources wisely, and is also equipped with an automatic lock and the ability to personally monitor the water hardness in the device. The average cost will be 54 thousand rubles.

Stylish machine with a laconic external design and characteristics corresponding to Swedish quality... The model, which holds up to 13 dish sets, is equipped with everything you need: comfortable large baskets, AirDry drying, a powerful motor, 5 effective programs and the ability to adjust the temperature regime. The only significant drawback is the inability to load and run half of the contained volume. The dishwasher does an excellent job, it washes dirt well and dries plates, while not having an exorbitant cost for this segment - from 40 thousand rubles.

Quite a budget option among floor machines, in no way inferior to the rest in terms of basic characteristics. The machine looks laconic, so it will fit well into a simple kitchen with a minimalist design.The dishwasher has as many as 6 operating modes with a delicate program for fragile dishes and 5 temperature settings. The volume - up to 13 sets - is used ergonomically, it is possible to change the location of the internal compartments to save more space and use the space wisely. The average cost of a model is about 25 thousand rubles.

There are many dishwashers on the market: all have different functionality and characteristics. So how do you choose the right dishwasher among the variety of models presented?

The first criterion is the need for built-in technology.

The second criterion is size... The volume of the machine is determined by the amount of crockery that can be accommodated. A set is a unit of measure for the dishes consumed by one person for lunch: several plates with different purposes, a cup and saucer or glass, a spoon and a fork. There are the following recommendations:

• a young couple or a small apartment for one person - up to 9 sets of dishes;
• family up to three people - from 9 sets as standard;
• large large families - from 14 to 16 sets.

The third criterion is the modes of operation. Washing on the same program is impossible for a number of reasons: the degree of pollution, the fragile material from which the dishes are made, a banal lack of time. In everyday life, you may need the following modes:

• intensive - the longest mode, helping to cope with thick layers of fat and stubborn dirt;
• quick - helps to save time by rinsing the dishes with water;
• delicate - necessary for dishes made of capricious materials, for example, crystal;
• half load mode - suitable for situations where the volume of dishes for a full load of the basket is not filled.

The fourth criterion is the washing class. Grades are scattered in the range from A to E, where A is the highest, having the highest quality washing and drying.

The fifth important criterion is energy consumption classes. The higher the class, the more significant the chance to save on electricity. The best indicator is in classes A-A +++, the worst is in G.

The sixth criterion is the loudness of a working machine. Models with a volume level of 45 dB are considered quiet.

The seventh criterion is drying. There are 2 types: condensation and turbo drying. As the name suggests, condensation drying simply allows the water to remain on the walls of the machine as condensation and then drain into the drain. The turbo dryer sprinkles the dishes with steam, thereby drying the appliances faster and more efficiently, which greatly saves time. However, machines with turbo-drying are louder and overpriced.
