dishwasher starter kitVery often, when buying a dishwasher, the seller recommends buying a starter kit for the dishwasher, explaining that it includes all the means necessary to start the machine and wash the dishes. Sometimes such a set can be received as a gift for buying a dishwasher. What is included in this set, whether you need to buy it or not, let's understand it together.

Set Composition

The dishwasher set is called the “starter” to attract an inexperienced buyer. This is a kind of marketing ploy. Manufacturers offer in this set everything you need to start the dishwasher, its first start-up and a brief instruction manual. In fact, most starter kits include conventional dishwashing detergents and the machine itself, namely:

  • combination or simple tablets;
  • special regenerating salt;
  • rinse aid for dishes.

Note! In some kits, powder for dishwasher is used instead of tablets.

In addition to the three main detergents, the kit may also include:dishwasher flavorings

  • means for cleaning the dishwasher from grease and plaque;
  • means for the first start of the machine;
  • flavoring.

Indeed, the kit includes everything you need to use the dishwasher. The set is convenient in that all funds are sold together, and the person who starts the car for the first time will not forget anything that might be required. The set is convenient when the dishwasher is just starting to operate, this is another reason why it is called the starting one. The expense of all funds is different, which means that the frequency of their purchase will also be different. The most consumed tablets and powder, less often you have to pour salt.

Is it possible to replace such a set

Looking at the composition, the question arises, is it possible to replace the starter kit, is it really necessary? The tablets included in the kit are the main tool that is intended for washing dishes. They cope with pollution and plaque on the dishes. Rinse aid adds gloss to dishes. And salt is necessary for the operation of the dishwasher ion exchanger, which is responsible for softening the water. All these funds can be bought separately and in that packaging, in which it will be more convenient for you.

As for the special tool for first run dishwasher Bosch, Candy, Flavia and the other, it is nothing like a dishwashing powder, and therefore there is no need to buy a starter kit just because of the presence of such a tool. In addition to the powder, it is necessary to pour salt during the test run. Special Cleaning Products for dishwashers are also sold separately and their selection is quite large.

Despite the fact that all funds are sold separately, the starter kit has its advantages:

  • no need to seek all means because in order to start using the machine, one way or another you will have to buy salt, powder, and rinse aid, you can’t do with tablets alone;
  • the kit collects funds from one manufacturer, which complement each other, which gives the best effect when washing;
  • sometimes a set of tools for a dishwasher is slightly cheaper than all the same tools purchased separately.

Important! Do not use ordinary powders, soap, or dishwashing detergents in the dishwasher. This can lead to heavy foaming and machine shutdown.
