Choosing the right built-in kitchen appliances can be difficult. The future owner has to take into account a lot of parameters, because the built-in type dishwasher must fit completely inside the headset or a free-standing piece of furniture. Of course, it is better to design the kitchen right away, taking into account the dimensions of the built-in appliances... But even in this case, you will have to carefully study the parameters that determine the efficiency of the device.

Among the main selection criteria are the following.

1. Size range. Compact dishwashers have dimensions up to 55 × 60 × 50 cm. Narrow models are higher - up to 820 mm, their width does not exceed 450 mm, and their depth is 550 mm. Full-sized ones have dimensions up to 82 × 60 × 55 cm.
2. Spaciousness... It is determined by the number of cutlery that can be simultaneously in the working chamber. For the smallest built-in dishwashers, it is limited to 6-8. Full-size includes up to 14 sets.
3. Performance characteristics. A modern dishwasher must have a cleaning class A to ensure the most thorough removal of dirt. The water consumption of a high-quality device will be up to more than 10-12 liters. The noise level should not exceed 52 dB. The energy class of a modern household appliance must be at least A +.
4. Drying method. The simplest option is condensation drying in natural conditions, in the process of moisture evaporation. Turbo mode involves the use of an air blower and a heater. Intensive dryers with heat exchangers combine both methods, but consume more energy during operation. The innovative technology of zeolite evaporation of moisture is still rare, but it is completely environmentally friendly and safe for dishes.
5. Variety of programs... If you plan to use the dishwasher every day, the dishes will not be heavily soiled. A model with a duty cycle of 30 to 60 minutes is suitable. Additional options such as handling glass and fragile dishes will come in handy for party goers.
6. Control method. The best solution is technology with a touch panel. It crashes less often, and the controls are intuitive. Mechanical rotary knobs are the most inconvenient option. Push-button models are most often found at manufacturers from China.

When choosing an inexpensive dishwasher, it is important to make sure that it has a sufficient number of modes, temperature control and other necessary functions. The aquastop system should be absolutely in all modern models. It is she who will prevent the flooding of neighbors if water gets outside the drain system.
