Desktop Dishwasher Overview

Desktop dishwashers are one of the varieties of small dishwashers, which are also called compact. They are in good demand among those who do not know where to put the car in the limited space of a small kitchen. And as the name implies, you can put it right on the table, somewhere in the corner so that it does not interfere. This is not one feature of such dishwashers, and therefore we will conduct a detailed review of them.

Features and dimensions of the desktop PMM

Table-sized dishwashers are considered the smallest of all compact models. Their external dimensions in height, width and depth, respectively, are 55, 45, 55 cm. But at the moment, models of this size are temporarily out of stock. Basically, the model range is represented by dishwashers with a width of at least 55 cm, a height of 45 and a depth of 50 to 55 cm.

With all this, these machines have a capacity of up to 6 standard sets, which is very good for 1-2 people. This is just enough to wash the dishes collected in a day. Large families will have to run such a machine more often.

As for the functionality, usually 5-6 washing modes are built into them, which include the following:

• intensive for very dirty dishes (washes at 70⁰WITH);
• normal program (or normal - washes dishes at 60-65⁰WITH);
• express mode (fast at 40-45⁰WITH);
• economical (washes at 50⁰WITH);
• soaking and pre-rinsing.

Some models (among German Bosch) have a delicate mode suitable for washing any glass and crystal.

How much and what it spends - is there any savings?

Let's start with the consumption of water, the desktop dishwasher, although small, but in comparison with some large machines, it consumes the same amount of water. The water consumption in such machines does not exceed 9 liters, while they mainly consume 7-8 liters, but there are also those machines that have a consumption of 6 liters of water.

With this flow rate, even with the most conservative estimates, the machine can save up to 8 cubic meters of hot water, plus saving cold water.

Electricity consumption on average varies from 0.61 kW / h to 0.8 kW / h, but there are single instances, such as the compact Exiteq EXDW-T501 dishwasher, which consumes only 0.25 kW / h. The cost of electricity on average will be about 70 kW per year, this is not so much. However, one will have to spend money on dishwashing detergents and salt. How expensive it will be to operate the dishwasher will mainly depend on how expensive you choose detergents. But even with these expenses, you will be happy that you will not wash the dishes, but your little dishwasher.

Security and Technology

The safety of the dishwasher depends on whether it has a water protection system or not. Such a protection system, such as Aqua stop or Waterproof, is considered complete, but there are dishwashers with partial protection, unfortunately among the desktops the most.

Another important option is the presence of a lock, which will protect the car from children and children from the car. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in all compact dishwashers. In addition, various technologies are being introduced into modern models, for example, a system of sensors that determine the degree of water pollution. In accordance with the indicator, the machine selects the mode and temperature of the washing, reducing the consumption of water and detergents.

Many models have a detergent detection sensor that allows you to create a 3 in 1 function. A compact dishwasher with this function recognizes the type of product and adjusts the program. The presence of a delayed start makes operation even more convenient, because then the machine can be turned on at night.

Separately, it should be said about the noise reduction technology of the dishwasher; it consists in the use of inverter-type EcoSilence Drive motors.With this technology, the noise level is from 39 to 47 dB. Noisy dishwashers have a noise level of 47-55 dB.
