Top Loading Dishwashers Review
A built-in top-loading dishwasher is a very good technical solution for a small kitchen. And indeed, I built a similar dishwasher into the countertop, open the lid, put the dishes in and the job is done. But the problem is, the idea is good, but go and find such equipment on store shelves. Or maybe we can still find it, we just haven’t looked properly?
Top loading dishwasher: myth or reality?
Usually, when it occurs to us to equip our kitchen with an unusual top-loading dishwasher, we go to the Internet and make a request in a search engine. And what is the result? And as a result, we quickly become convinced that all well-known manufacturers do not produce such dishwashers, or, in any case, do not supply them to our market. Is this really the time to give up and stop the fruitless search?
Top-loading dishwashers sometimes have very unexpected designs and designs.
Indeed, at present, a top-loading dishwasher is a rarity on the world market. A certain number of them are produced in Asian and European countries for domestic consumption. Their price is fabulous, but if you really want it, you can find and buy such equipment through national online stores. We won’t dwell on the description of the models now; we’ll talk about this a little later. Now let’s talk about the pros and cons of a top-loading dishwasher.
Pros and cons of these machines
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a top-loading dishwasher? Maybe it’s so bad that it’s not worth it and it’s difficult to find it. Why throw away a lot of money for something that isn't worth it? This is a really serious question, but we suggest that you “don’t jump at it,” but first study the pros and cons of such unusual “home assistants,” and only then draw constructive conclusions based on specific data. Let's start with the advantages.
- Possibility of placement on a horizontal surface near the sink. This is very convenient, because the dishwasher lid will be part of the countertop, and will not disturb anyone at all and take up a large amount of space in the kitchen.
- Convenient storage of dishes. To load dishes into a front-loading dishwasher, you will need to bend over and place dirty plates in the basket. Everything is simpler in a top-loading dishwasher. Open the lid, stand and put the dishes in the hopper. For people with radiculitis and other similar diseases, this is an ideal option.
- A vertical dishwasher can be made completely invisible. The point is that the usual built-in dishwasher hides behind a beautiful furniture facade, but is still visible. The vertical can literally merge with the surface of the tabletop so that even a professional will not immediately find it. If you think about it, this is an ideal interior solution.
Well, of course, such a technique is not without its disadvantages, which also need to be mentioned. Firstly, these dishwashers have very limited capacity. As a rule, it does not exceed 6-8 sets of dishes. Secondly, vertical ovens have some problems with washing and drying dishes, so the quality of their work leaves much to be desired.Thirdly, such dishwashers are not very common, which means that in the event of a breakdown, it will be difficult to find a specialist to carry out repairs, not to mention spare parts.
A top-loading dishwasher is practically not serviced by the manufacturer, so in the event of a breakdown you will have to rely only on your own strength.

Let's focus on vertical dishwashers, especially since there are not so many of them.
The Briva In-Sink is more of a sink combined with a dishwasher. A convenient technical solution, because you can first rinse the dishes and immediately put them in the machine. This dishwasher gets the job done very quickly, using half as much energy and water.
Machine L is one of the strangest dishwashers. It not only washes, but also includes a lighting fixture. Its special feature is that the filled water is used several times, going through the cleaning system, which is why it does not have drain hoses.
Dishwasher with sink. To turn the sink into a dishwasher, you just need to lower the dome (lid). You can wash a couple of sets of dishes, but no more, so this gadget is not for mass distribution.
As you can see, a top-loading dishwasher is more of a gadget, a miracle of modern technology, the embodiment of a design idea. It’s difficult to call this a high-performance technical device. It is probably not technically rational to create a top-loading dishwasher, which is why front-loading household machines have become so widespread.
