PMM reliability ratingWhen the family raises the question of acquiring a new dishwasher, a reasonable question arises: what to choose? Today on the market there are several hundred different dishwasher units, and what to choose is not clear. I want a high-quality and reliable machine that will perform its function well and work for many years without breakdowns, but how to find such a technique? In this article, we will present the reliability rating of various types of dishwashers. Although, our opinion can be considered subjective, this rating, we hope, will help you make a choice.

The best narrow cars

Before looking for the best and most reliable dishwashers, you should understand their varieties. Let's start with the most popular narrow dishwashers among Russians. Narrow cars are called that because of the width of the case. Compared to standard machines, in which the case has a width of 60 cm, the narrow ones have a case of 45 cm and even less. Of course, this affects the download. Narrow PMMs, as a rule, accommodate 3-4 sets of dishes less than standard ones, but this does not deter users, just the opposite.

Narrow cars were liked by users due to the fact that they take up less space in a small kitchen, and integrating them into furniture is a bit easier. Let's see which narrow-body cars are the most reliable in three price categories.

  1. Smeg STA4523. This premium machine is able to work 15-20 years without any problems. It is assembled from the best German components, and it performs its function at 5+.

Budget equipment is often "marked" by factory marriage. The Electrolux ESL 94320 LA model has the lowest percentage of such marriages among all budget dishwashers.

Great little cars

Small dishwashers are rapidly gaining popularity. They are called compact PMMs and this is no accident. Cars are not much larger than a microwave oven in size, so in everyday speech people call them desktop. Their dimensions are about 55 x 50 x 45 cm. Such a baby can be taken with you to the country, if desired, it can easily be carried from place to place by a woman alone.

The main advantage of such dishwashers is space saving. This machine can be installed on a table, on a pedestal, in a sink under the sink, or in general can be fixed to the wall on special brackets. It is inferior in capacity to both narrow and standard cars and this is its main disadvantage, but it seems that buyers do not pay attention to this minus. They are satisfied that the compact equipment holds 6-7 sets of dishes. Let's see which desktop machines are of the highest quality in three price categories.

The best standard dishwashers

So in our story we got to the standard dishwashers. Why are they called that? Everything is simple here. When household dishwashers first appeared on the consumer market as a mass product, they had a standard width of 60 cm for several decades. There were no distinctions within the class of this equipment. But then there appeared narrow dishwashers with a case width of 45 cm and then machines with a case of 60 cm began to be called standard.Sizes of dishwashers became the basis for their classification.

The standard machine can accommodate 12-14 sets of dishes. There are models that can accommodate 15 or even 16 sets, but these are more likely exceptions to the rule. Standard machines are ideal for large families and for those who like to welcome guests, because in one go such an assembly will wash a whole mountain of dirty dishes. Let's see which modern models of standard cars are considered the most reliable.

To wash 14 sets of dishes by hand, you need to spend about 25-30 minutes and this is if you are in a hurry.

  1. Smeg STE8239L. Incredibly quiet standard premium dishwasher. It is distinguished by its high capacity - 13 sets of dishes, a huge set of programs and functions, as well as tremendous reliability. Experts say that with proper use, this machine will work for 15-20 years without problems, and most likely even more. It is distinguished by the highest energy consumption class - A +++, as well as 10 different washing programs. You can buy a model for $ 2,080.

  2. Asko D 5546 XL. Although this machine belongs to the middle class dishwasher, in terms of characteristics, it almost surpasses the model described above. It is very reliable, quiet, has electronic control and protection against child intervention. Washes up to 13 sets of dishes at the same time. It consumes no more than 10 liters of water per cycle, and the control module in memory contains 12 washing programs. It is noteworthy that the machine can heat water up to 700C. Estimated working life of at least 10 years. Cost - 1129 dollars.
  3. MAUNFELD MLP-12IM. We could not help but pay attention to this amazing dishwasher, which, however, is a stretch to the budget class technology. It is fully integrated into the furniture, holds 14 sets of dishes and has 9 washing programs. The model is perfectly assembled from solid components. Our craftsmen predict her 7-10 years of excellent work. The machine even has an internal illumination of the washing chamber and the indicator "beam on the floor." Such additions are rarely installed on budget equipment. You can buy a car for $ 450.

On this we will safely and finish our story. Our rating is relatively small, so it’s easy for you to familiarize yourself with it. Be careful when choosing a dishwasher and then the newly acquired "home helper" will pay you back for many years of excellent work. Have a good choice!
