Review of Bosch 45 cm freestanding dishwashers

Freestanding machines Bosch 45 cm It is very difficult to imagine a kitchen without household appliances. The refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine have become indispensable helpers. However, filling such a small space in the kitchen with such appliances is becoming increasingly difficult. Where to put a dishwasher if its dimensions are quite impressive. That is why you need to take a closer look at narrow models so that you have a chance to buy a dishwasher. Let's review the Bosch 45 cm freestanding dishwashers and find out their practical features and disadvantages.

We evaluate the characteristics

Nobody wants to waste money. This is exactly what can happen if you choose a dishwasher spontaneously, so to speak, take the first model you like. We still recommend that you take your time and evaluate the characteristics of freestanding dishwashers; first of all, we look at:

dimensions. Find out the exact size of the machine and compare it with measurements of the available space in the kitchen. It will be a shame if the machine does not fit between the cabinet and the wall of the refrigerator. Despite the fact that such a model of machine can be placed anywhere, it is unlikely in a small-sized kitchen, such space will be found;
washing chamber capacity. Most manufacturers indicate in the instructions the capacity of 9 or 10 sets of standard dishes. There are machines with a capacity of 11 sets. However, in practice it is not so simple. The number of items that you can fit in the washing chamber will depend on the shape of the baskets and the possibility of their transformation.

Many users note that the pull-out cutlery tray is much more convenient than a basket for spoons and forks, which takes up a lot of useful space for plates.

Energy consumption. Modern PMMs have an energy consumption class from A++ to A, which is in the range of 0.68 - 0.92 kW/h. This is quite normal, even economical;
control type. Most models have electronic controls that are intuitive to anyone. At the same time, there are cars, both with a display and without it. In our opinion, this is a matter of taste and habit. However, if there is no display, you can save a little;
water consumption. This parameter is no less important, but when compared with manual washing, even the most “gluttonous” dishwashers will use less. If you are one of those who save on everything, then models with a consumption of 8 liters of water will be preferable for you. Most PMMs consume 10 liters per wash cycle;
programs. The main programs that are necessary for washing any dishes are: main wash, quick, for lightly soiled dishes, soaking or pre-wash, as well as intensive mode. This is a standard set of programs. All additional programs, such as hypoallergenic washing, fragile glass and others, will be reflected in the price. Therefore, think carefully about how often you are going to turn on the machine and what to wash; maybe you don’t need such modes at all;
additional functions. Think carefully about whether you want to see a “beam on the floor”, various indicators and sensors. The Aquastop system of complete leak protection may be useful; you should not skimp on it. Although it is not a 100% guarantee against water leaks, it can save you from a flood, and therefore from potentially high repair costs.

For a small family, the half-load option will be very useful.

connection and accessories. When purchasing, be sure to look at how the machine is connected and whether everything is there for it. It is also possible that the drain and water supply hoses will be short, and you will have to buy them separately;
drying type. Freestanding machines have condensation drying. Turbo drying, although more effective, such PMMs with turbo drying are not currently available for sale;
design. These characteristics are subjective. You can choose what you like, especially since the market offers not only silver or classic white models. There are even black dishwashers.

When choosing equipment, many buyers are interested in the quality of dishwashing. But this parameter cannot be assessed in absentia. No matter what your kind sales consultant tells you, there are many factors on which the cleanliness of the dishes will depend. And the problem may not be in the car at all, but in the detergent or proper operation of the equipment. They can help with this issue customer reviews and my own experience.

Advantages and disadvantages of PMM 45 cm
