Which company to choose and buy a dishwasher

Which brand and company to choose a dishwasher? Everyone who is tired of washing dishes with their hands asks this question, but not everyone can make the right decision. Modern shopping centers "to the eyeballs" are clogged with various equipment and what is the difference between this or that model, not every specialist will understand, not that an ordinary consumer. We decided to sort out the issues of choosing companies and models of dishwashers and present this article to your attention.

What to look for when choosing a "dishwasher"

To choose and buy a good dishwasher, you must first pay attention not to the brand and appearance, but to its characteristics. So many kinds of “chips” are built into a modern dishwasher that even if you conscientiously read the description in the instructions, you are unlikely to understand everything, but it, in general, is not needed. The main thing to pay attention to the most important parameters.

1. Sizes. When going to the store for a dishwasher, you must first imagine what dimensions it will be, and if you have to build the machine in furniture, you must immediately determine the dimensions of the “dishwasher” to the nearest centimeter.
2. Type of. Dishwashers are freestanding, built-in, partially built-in, desktop. Freestanding dishwashers, as a rule, are the most spacious, but also the most overall, and the desktop are the most compact, but also the least spacious. You can read more about compact dishwashers in the article aboutsmall dishwashers.
3. Baskets and trays. Pay attention to what material baskets and dish trays are made of. Stainless steel is preferable, if you allow a plastic basket, make sure that the plastic is thicker and more reliable. The lower basket should be deep enough and spacious so that it includes large-sized dishes.
4. Cost. The most important parameter for many consumers. Nevertheless, we urge not to chase the price too much. Attractive price tags sometimes hide low-quality goods. If you buy equipment at a significant discount, inspect it especially meticulously.

Note! If well-known shopping centers arrange seasonal sales of equipment in droves, then there is nothing to fear. In this case, a good dishwasher can actually be bought for a penny.

5. Noise. Quite often, consumers begin to think about this parameter only after buying and installing the unit. The best modern dishwashers should make noise within 40-54 dB, if you do not tolerate strong extraneous sounds, then noise up to 40-45 dB will be tolerated normally.
6. Design. This parameter should only be considered if the dishwasher you are purchasing is a tabletop or freestanding type. The built-in dishwasher is closed on all sides, including the front, so it does not matter how it looks.
7. Number and composition of dishwashing programs. Do not chase the models of dishwashers that have dozens of washing programs. In fact, you only need 3-4 programs, the main thing is that the execution of these programs is up to the mark, and for this you will have to read customer reviews.
8. Existence of function of fast drying. Some modern dishwashers have a turbo-drying function. The dishes in them are dried very quickly thanks to the hot air supplied to the tank. Whether you need this function or not, decide for yourself, but keep in mind that you will have to overpay for it.

Overview of companies producing "dishwashers"

There are quite a lot of companies that manufacture dishwashers, but there are not so many companies that manufacture the best products to date. Let's list them and describe them very briefly.

• AEG - this German company for many years has been and remains one of the leaders in the production and sales of household appliances (including dishwashers) in Europe. In Russia, it also occupies one of the leading positions. Dishwashers from AEG are of high quality parts and assembly, but the price of consumers is repulsive.
• ARDO is a well-known Italian company that manufactures, including low-cost dishwashers. ARDO machines feature a simple design and low-cost componentsDespite this, the company manages to ensure the quality of its products at a high level.
• BOSCH is another German company that has been a leader in the production of dishwashers for several years in a row, and in Germany, Bosch equipment has remained the most purchased to this day. Bosch "dishwashers" of German assembly are capable, with proper operation, to work for decades.
• ELECTROLUX is a well-known company originally from Sweden, however, currently production is located in many countries, including Russia. When choosing a dishwasher from the company Electrolux, you need to pay attention to the place of assembly. The European assembly is preferable, and the Chinese "dishwashers" are better not to buy at all.
• INDESIT - this Italian brand produces a fairly large number of different dishwashers. Their quality can be judged by the place of assembly. It would seem that the same parts, but the European assembly is much better than, for example, the Chinese, although lately there have been positive trends in China.
• MIELE - it is generally accepted that this company produces exclusively elite equipment only. In fact, the company is present in other price segments, in particular in the middle and low. The quality of the machines is invariably very high, the materials are the best, and the design is very, very impressive. If you are looking for a good built-in dishwasher, pay attention to products manufactured under the Miele brand.
