Nuances of choice
It is not easy to choose one option for home use among the huge variety, especially if the buyer had no previous experience with such equipment. Before making the final choice, it is imperative to take into account the basic technical parameters.
The first characteristic to look out for is roominess... A large family needs a dishwasher with a spacious chamber. Additional compartments will be useful. The number of sets directly depends on the size of the device. A standard full-size machine can hold from 12 to 14 sets at a time, while compact versions (designed specifically for small-sized apartments) have a capacity of 6-8 sets.
Cleaning class. How thoroughly the machine washes the dishes can be determined even before using them. The cleaning class will tell you about the effectiveness. Many modern models are marked with the letter "A", which indicates the most excellent cleaning result, even when it comes to stubborn dirt.
Volume of consumed water... Any dishwashing machine will use less water compared to manual cleaning. But if you run the equipment often, the high water consumption will affect the family budget. As a rule, about 10-12 liters are spent in one cycle, however, models with lower water consumption can be found on sale. Such machines help to save natural resources and money.
Drying method... This parameter is just as important as the level of the sink.
This characteristic is marked by letter classification. The most effective class is designated by the letter "A". Such devices will quickly dry the dishes without leaving even small drops on its surface.
The following drying options are available:
-
if the process takes place due to a heating element and a powerful fan, this type is called turbo drying;
-
the option in which the dishes dries on their own, in a natural way, is called condensation drying;
-
sometimes there is a method in which the two options are combined - we are talking about intensive drying and the use of a heat exchanger.
Cleaning programs. Current models can be equipped with a large number of modes. The more programs, the higher the functionality, but the price for such equipment will also be higher. Manufacturers equip equipment with separate modes for cleaning thin glass products, effectively removing grease stains or additional rinsing. As a rule, devices with a standard set of cleaning programs are chosen for the home, and equipment with the maximum range of functions is chosen for catering establishments.
Noise. Even the most expensive and high-quality equipment makes noise during operation. The technical specifications for each model must indicate the noise level. Most often, full-size machines are quieter compared to narrow versions.
Low noise equipment is chosen to keep the home as comfortable as possible. The optimal indicator is considered to be from 45 to 52 dB.
Leakage protection level. On sale you can find equipment with full or partial protection. The first option is more preferable from the point of view of reliability. If an expensive renovation has been made in the house, you should choose equipment for the maximum level of safety.
And also you should pay attention to the following characteristics:
-
dimensions;
-
accommodation option;
-
energy efficiency;
-
trademark;
-
appearance (the last parameter is paid attention to when the kitchen design is thought out to the smallest detail, and each element in the room should look harmonious.
