Review of premium dishwashers

Statistics show that there are many people who do not want to settle for economy class dishwashers. Sales of premium dishwashers, although they have not grown, have not fallen much, and this despite a significant increase in the dollar exchange rate and the economic crisis. We decided to select the best premium dishwasher models and include them in our short review in order to introduce them to our readers. This is what we got.

Miele G 6891 SCVi K2O

The most expensive dishwasher in our review is Miele G 6891 SCVi K2O from a well-known German manufacturer. This is a fully built-in model. Its current market value is about $3,680, and you can buy a used car. Judging only by the cost, this is truly a premium dishwasher, but what about its characteristics?

1. Its capacity is more than 14 sets of dishes. Although the manufacturer indicated a capacity of 14 sets, users claim that the machine is capable of washing up to 16 sets at a time.
2. The equipment has a modern color display and electronic control.
3. During one washing cycle, the machine consumes less than 10 liters of water.
4. The Miele G 6891 SCVi K2O operates very quietly. At maximum speed it produces 41 dB.
5. The famous “German” has 10 washing programs in his arsenal, in addition, you can set as many as 7 temperature modes.
6. There is a limited loading mode, although with such a low water consumption it is unlikely to be in demand.
7. You can set a program and delay its start up to one day in one-hour increments.

The machine has a lot of bells and whistles.In addition to the usual “beam on the floor”, there is excellent internal lighting, the ability to use 3 in 1, 7 in 1, etc. products, protection against any water leaks, as well as unusual technologies such as opening the door by knocking.

The model has a useful AutoOpen function. After the end of the program, the machine automatically opens itself, so you can get dry and clean dishes whenever you want.

The lack of a “child protection” function was striking. For such expensive equipment this is a disadvantage. Otherwise, the model is very decent and washes dishes very well. In the professional ratings, the machine scored 9.8 points out of 10, which is an excellent result.

Kuppersbusch IGVE 6610.2

Much more modest in terms of cost, the Kuppersbusch IGVE 6610.2 machine will be a worthy decoration for an elite kitchen. For it you will have to pay about 2326 US dollars. It is assembled from the highest quality materials and checked by hand. Its technical characteristics are relatively modest. The basket can hold approximately 13 place settings. It has surprisingly standard electronic controls and a very ordinary display. Judging offhand, the machine is not worth the money, but in fact, Kuppersbusch equipment is very reliable and can work quietly for several decades without repair.

Kuppersbusch IGVE 6610.2 is quite economical because it consumes only 9.5 liters of water per program. There are few washing modes, only 5, but they are well selected. The machine has a standard set of additional functions, among which the “Intensive Zone” stands out. The machine also has an amazing Multiflex Premium box that can be folded out. It cleans cutlery perfectly.

Asko D 5896 XL

This expensive dishwasher impresses with its performance. The first thing that catches your eye is that the noise level produced is only 42 dB. For a full-size built-in appliance, this is very quiet. As for water consumption, a standard wash for 14 sets of dishes uses 10 liters of water, and only 0.83 kWh of energy is consumed. As you can see, there is a saving in everything, for which you will have to pay about $2,280.

The duration of a standard dishwashing program is a little more than 3 hours, or more precisely 210 minutes. But from the 13 built-in programs, you can select a shorter cycle.

This model has not only modern automatic dishwashing programs, but also turbo drying. You don’t have to think about getting rid of undried drops; when you blow hot air, this problem will not arise. The user will also appreciate the presence of:

• complete protection against leaks,
• automatic setting of water hardness and other indicators,
• glass holders;
• holders for vases and bottles;
• delay switching on up to 24 hours;
• interior lighting;
• function of heating dishes and hygiene.

Bosch Serie 8 SMV87TX01R

This full-size “home assistant” is inferior in functionality to the previous machine, although it does not cost much less, about $1,930. Although it produces noise within 44 dB, it spends only 9.5 liters of water to wash 14 standard sets of dishes. This dishwasher has half as many modes, only 7, in our opinion, even these are quite enough to wash a wide variety of dishes.

The drying in this machine is condensation only, so you will have to wait a little longer for all the dishes to dry. Energy costs are 1.01 kWh, which is not that much for a full-size car.The equipment also provides protection against leaks, indicators, delayed start, and a 3-in-1 tablet tray, but it still does not have automatic adjustment of water hardness.

In addition to baskets for dishes, the package includes: a basket for spoons and forks, plus a glass holder. Please note that the machine itself, with the same dimensions, weighs 39 kg, compared to Asco equipment, which weighs 52 kg, this is quite normal. Thanks to the door lock, the machine will be protected from children, and the presence of an additional “Hygiene” function will protect you from allergies, which is also important. In general, high-quality German assembly is evident.

Siemens iQ700 SN 678X51 TR

And this is another brainchild of the famous German concern Siemens iQ700 SN 678X51 TR. This luxury dishwasher can be purchased for $1,789. Its capacity is quite large, but not impressive, about 13 place settings. There is protection from children, a stylish display, but this is not even what makes the machine stand out. What makes it stand out is its stylish design, despite the fact that it is a fully built-in model. You don't have to think about attaching the front to the dishwasher, since it comes with a very stylish factory door front.

Siemens iQ700 works “quieter than water, lower than the grass.” Even when you are in the kitchen with her, you cannot always hear how she works. The memory of the control module contains 8 washing programs and all of them are excellent, they cope with their task at 5+. The model has a fairly accurate loading sensor, which will tell the user when it is still possible to load dirty dishes into the machine, and when that is enough. The Night Wash mode will help make the machine even quieter if you are a light sleeper and prefer to wash dishes at night. Additional functions are quite standard:

• you can delay the start of the program for a period of 1 to 24 hours;
• the machine is protected from water leaks of various nature;
• there is a sensor that monitors the purity of water pumped into the system;
• there is a special box in which you can put various tablets and capsules with a variety of components;
• There is a beautiful interior lighting of the washing chamber, variously adjustable baskets, a glass holder, VarioSpeed ​​Plus functions, as well as Shine & Dry.

With this we would like to conclude our review. Of course, not everyone can afford the equipment we have presented, but if you decide to overpay, choose the really best. Good luck!
