Review of dishwashers for 6 sets

Dishwashers with 6 place settings are called compact. This means that the baskets of small dishwashers can only hold six sets. This miniature equipment is very popular among users, which is why almost every manufacturer offers its own line of small models. Buyers' eyes widen. They cannot understand which technique is best for them to take, so we decided to try to orient them. We hope we can do it.

Features of small models

To begin with, I would like to understand why such eminent companies as Bosch, Electrolux and others rushed into the next technological race with the goal of creating the best small dishwashers that can accommodate 6 sets? What is so special about this technology and why is there always a stable demand for it?

1. Small machines hold enough dishes that buyers don't feel the need to buy a full-size model. In general, how much is 6 sets of dishes? Not so little. 1 set is three different plates, one saucer, cup or mug, spoon, fork and knife. So consider how much of a decent pile of dishes you can wash in one go. Just right for a small family.
2. The small model does not require a separate space on the floor in the kitchen. This saves a lot of space. It can be placed on a table, cabinet, or even on a special shelf. They even make wall brackets for small dishwashers, because on the wall it definitely won’t bother anyone.
3. Small cars are easy to move from place to place. Their weight is light, and their dimensions allow them to be carried alone.So, when moving to the countryside in the summer, people take their favorite “home assistant” with them.
4. A small dishwasher uses fewer resources, so it can be operated in strict economy mode.

Small machines are usually very easy to operate. They, as a rule, do not have an abundance of programs and modes, and the control panels are the simplest.

We, of course, do not advocate purchasing small dishwashers. Like any technology, they have their drawbacks. Well, if you decide to buy just such a dishwasher, you should take a closer look at the models that we presented in our review. From the point of view of our specialists and users, they are the best in their market segment today.

Siemens iQ500 SK 76M544

The very stylish and reliable Siemens iQ500 SK 76M544 with baskets for dishes for 6 people, its price drives some people into a stupor. Today, sellers are asking an average of $845 for it. For a small car this is very expensive. But the equipment has impeccable electronics, a display, protection from the intervention of small children, and even a sensor that monitors the purity of the water.

It spends no more than 8 liters of water, makes almost no noise and perfectly washes even very dirty dishes. The control module has 6 washing programs in its memory. There is even a delicate program that is needed for washing fragile dishes. Siemens iQ500 SK 76M544 is completely protected from leaks. It perfectly recognizes tablets and capsules, and in general has everything you need in its arsenal, including VarioSpeedPlus technology. Overall dimensions of the machine W x D x H – 600 x 500 x 454 mm.

Bosch Serie 4 SKS62E88

And this easily built-in small dishwasher is much cheaper than the Siemens iQ500 SK 76M544.This is the Bosch Serie 4 SKS62E88 and it costs only $456. The difference, as you can see, is significant. It also has a display, but there is no protection against child interference, and it is much noisier. Otherwise, it is almost as good as the Siemens iQ500 SK 76M544. The machine also has a set of special sensors, a delay in starting the program for a day, and useful indicators.

Bosch Serie 4 SKS62E88 is equipped with VarioSpeed ​​technology, and its housing is partially protected against water leaks. The machine perfectly dissolves any tablets and capsules: 3 in 1, 5 in 1, 7 in 1, etc., there are no restrictions. The dimensions of the machine are W x D x H – 551 x 500 x 450 mm. The capacity is exactly the same as that of many small dishwashers - 6 place settings.

Flavia CI 55 HAVANA

Over the past year, sales of Flavia CI 55 HAVANA have increased by almost a third. The machine is really good, and most importantly inexpensive. Its current price is $283, which means that it is almost three times cheaper than the Siemens iQ500 SK 76M544. Flavia is just as small, 6 sets. It has modern electronic control, a normal display, and a flow-through water heater. The model is quite noisy, but it consumes no more than 7 liters of water. The machine has 7 washing programs and 5 temperature switching modes.

The model is budget, so there is no sensor that is responsible for the purity of the water. But it is possible to delay the start of the washing mode for up to 24 hours. The housing is partially protected from water leaks. At the end of the program, the machine emits a loud beep, which many users really like. The machine has a so-called “hour program” in its memory. What is a “hour program”? This is a mode that completes the wash in 1 hour.The quality of this type of washing is not very high, so it is used when the dishes are not too dirty. The case has dimensions W x D x H – 550 x 500 x 438 mm.

The first models of small Flavia dishwashers had many complaints from users. Over time, the manufacturer corrected the errors, and now buyers highly appreciate the quality of this equipment.

Midea MCFD-0606

And this is a strictly budget model, in which there is nothing superfluous. However, it copes with washing dishes no worse than its premium class counterpart. Midea MCFD-0606 has neither a display nor modern protection against child intervention. But it has quite modern electronic controls, and please note, it is very simple and understandable. This little machine is not the noisiest, but still, those who like silence may not like it. The usual program runs for 120 minutes, which is very good, it “sips” little water - 7 liters per cycle.

There is a set of six standard washing programs. In this sense, the dishwasher resembles Bosch or Kandy appliances. You can only delay the start of the washing program up to 8 hours. The leakage protection is also not impressive, because it is partial. The machine beeps when it finishes working. It’s gratifying that it recognizes tablets and capsules; not all budget babies have this function, and it’s good that the buyer doesn’t have to pay extra for it. W x D x H housing – 550 x 500 x 438 mm. Price: $224.

Candy CDCP 6/E

Our review ends with the cheapest small dishwasher that can be purchased on the Russian market today. Its approximate cost is $192. In general, Kandi sets a bar that is almost unattainable for competitors. It should be noted that at such a low price, the machine washes dishes well, but as some users note, sometimes you have to take slightly damp plates out of the baskets. If you are interested in what users say about small dishwashers, read the article Reviews of compact dishwashers, which was previously published on our website.

Returning to the description of the characteristics of the Candy CDCP 6/E dishwasher, I would like to note the impressive range of programs and temperature conditions. The user has the opportunity to adjust the parameters of standard programs, which is often very valuable. It is impossible not to say that Candy CDCP 6/E:

• has complete protection against all kinds of water leaks;
• has a special timer that allows you to delay the start of the program for up to 8 hours;
• has a box for tablets and capsules;
• has a set of indicators, as well as an original glass holder.

A good set for this price, objectively good. The size of the machine is small: W x D x H – 550 x 500 x 438 mm. Customer service has improved now, but there are still complaints about it, be careful.

In conclusion, I would like to say that some users are trying to write off small dishwashers for 6 place settings in favor of full-size models. In our opinion, there is no need to argue with them, since the little ones will definitely find their buyer, who has a small kitchen and a small family. Good luck!
