Built-in dishwashers 40 cm wide
Small families, having small kitchens, purchase dishwashers 40 cm wide. There are many such families, therefore the demand for narrow appliances is great. How to choose a successful dishwasher in all respects and, indeed, whether it will be 40 cm, we will tell in our article.
Are there 400mm wide machines?
People in the Soviet Union knew nothing about household dishwashers, while in Europe they entered homes everywhere. Today, we are trying to get rid of routine homework. Even those who have nowhere to turn around in the kitchen dream of buying an assistant technician. They look for the smallest options, calculate every centimeter of the area where it can be built.
Having heard about narrow machines 40 cm wide, do not rush to measure out a place for it with engineering precision. The size "40" is very conditional, in fact, it can be 44 cm, 45 cm or even 48 cm wide. All these figures make it possible to classify the equipment as "narrow", but manufacturers do not produce clear dimensions - "40", therefore not worth considering. The minimum width of the unit in history belonged to the Ardo ME 5661 model - 40.4 cm, it has long been discontinued. As it turned out, cars with parameters less than 45 cm are unprofitable. Narrow technique already outperforms full-size options up to 15 cm of space.
Due to the wide range of sizes, you can buy a dishwasher in a kitchen with any area. In terms of size, such equipment is divided into three categories: full-size, narrow and compact. The last option is a low machine designed for only two sets of dishes.
In Russia, such equipment is not in demand, therefore it is rare. And the demand for narrow cars is great, and let's talk about them.
Dishwashers up to 50 cm wide can be divided into three types: built-in, partly built-in, free-standing. Their height (85 cm) and depth (57-65 cm) does not particularly differ from full-size cars; space is saved due to the width of the model.
The technique of this category has its pros and cons. The advantages include a number of points.
-
The ability to provide small-sized kitchens with dishwashers with an optimal volume for them. The unit can be installed under a sink, in a closet, in an opening between other appliances or furniture.
-
The capacity of the baskets is 8-10 sets, which is quite suitable for a family of 3-4 people. Plus, you can wash your dishes on time, as the machine is fully loaded faster than the full-size model.
-
Technology makes less noise.
-
It uses energy more economically (due to the condensation drying method), approximately 0.9 kW / h.
-
Water also consumes less full-size versions - 8-13 liters.
-
The family budget will benefit from the purchase price over the standard product.
Now let's move on to the disadvantages.
-
The volume of the working chamber is inferior to a full-size machine. The crockery will be loaded 4-6 sets less.
-
Problems will arise with the maintenance of non-standard utensils - baking trays, saucepans, large pots and pans.
-
The number of offered options for this type of equipment is inferior to the standard version.
Although in narrow machines the software is less than in full-size types, 5-8 functions are enough for them for a full-fledged dishwashing. Most often, the main programs are found.
-
Protection against leaks ("Aqua-stop").The machine does not allow spills; when the chamber is overcrowded, it independently disconnects from the water supply and drains the water into the sewer.
-
Floor projection. A ray of light on the floor indicates that the machine is running. If it is not there, then the washing process is over. Some models are endowed with sound signals.
-
On timer. It allows, after loading the machine, to set the switch-on time at a later convenient time.
-
Water softness sensor. As soon as the water becomes harder than the norm, the sensor informs that it is time to replenish the reserves of the regenerating substance. Complying with the standards, you can better wash dishes and extend the life of the dishwasher.
-
Height adjustment of baskets. The compartments are set according to the level of the bookmark of kitchen utensils. The machines have a cutlery section.
Almost every narrow dishwasher contains programs:
-
quick wash;
-
soak;
-
washing intensity;
-
economy mode;
-
delicate wash;
-
option for detergent tablets.

-
Frequency of cooking and meals.
-
The dimensions of the dishes themselves are taken into account, especially its non-standard types.
It is necessary to decide which machine is needed - built-in or free-standing. In small kitchens, saving every centimeter of space, it is better to build appliances into furniture or under a sink. But the maintenance of this option is more difficult.
In a rented apartment, it is wiser to purchase free-standing equipment.
Having decided on the type of dishwasher, you need to pay attention to several important points.
-
Durability is influenced by the materials from which all the internal elements of the machine are made. They should be stainless steel, the less plastic the better.
-

-

As for drying, it has three types.
-
The heat exchanger works with hot steam.
-
Condensation drying is carried out by moisture evaporation. For narrow cars, this is the most common option.
-
The intensive one is powered by a hot blower fan. Installed in premium cars.
When choosing modes, you need to pay attention to the following programs:

the fastest mode;

for special pollution;

delicate treatment;

soak;

Keep in mind that in a dishwasher with a large number of programs and options, there is always something to break. The simpler the model, the more durable it is.The build quality also affects the performance properties, so it is better to choose a well-known manufacturer for the technique.
