Overview of narrow built-in dishwashers

narrow dishwashersPeople’s great desire to put a dishwasher in a small kitchen has given rise to the myth of narrow dishwashers with a width of only 35 cm. Advertisers are warming up this myth in every way, helping to spread false information that it is possible to buy a dishwasher with a width of 35 cm at various outlets.

In fact, neither in Russia nor in the CIS countries can you find such a narrow built-in machine, no matter how hard you try. Earlier on sale, you could find a dishwasher Ardo ME5661, but even it had a width of 40.4 cm.

The bulk of the narrow built-in floor-standing dishwashers have a width of about 45 cm. Therefore, when you order or make a kitchen set, put in mind this particular size. Let's talk about narrow built-in dishwashers in more detail.

Why do people choose narrow cars?

According to marketers' statistics, approximately 61% of potential buyers of dishwashers choose narrow floor-mounted built-in dishwashers. They ask models 35, 40 cm wide, but in the end they buy 45 cm machines. You can read more about narrow dishwashers in the article Overview of built-in dishwashers 40 cm. At first glance it seems that the difference between a full-sized dishwasher 60 cm wide and a narrow 45 cm is small. In fact, 15 cm for this technique is a lot.

  • 15 cm of space saving is good, but because of this, the space inside the washing tank is also reduced. The baskets and trays are much narrower, the parts inside are also very close, which could potentially lead to overheating and breakdowns. But for most consumers this is of secondary importance - in the first place, space saving.
  • In narrow built-in dishwashers, short dishwashing programs are implemented, which people really like. Imagine if the dishes are not very dirty, then why should you choose a 1.5 hour sink when there is a fast one - 35 minutes. We are saving not only time, but also resources: water and electricity.
  • Full-size dishwashers can have a load of up to 17 sets of dishes. For an average family of 3-4 people this is not necessary. So why pay for the dimensions and capacity? A narrow dishwasher holds 35, a maximum of 50 large items (we determined this empirically), the manufacturer claims about 9 sets of dishes - this capacity is ideal for a small family.
  • The cost of a narrow dishwasher is several thousand rubles less than a full-size one, which is good news for consumers.

Important! The statistics of service centers of several large manufacturers of household appliances tells us that narrow built-in dishwashers break about 35% more often than full-size models.

Examples of popular models of dishwashers

Advertising is advertising, but you cannot fool all people. If a person wants to choose the model of a dishwasher that he needs, he will do it, albeit by trial and error. And as soon as someone manages to buy and test a good model, word of mouth will work further. Given the existence of social networks, after a few days everyone will learn about the positive experience of 1 person.

Hence the conclusion - to understand which model of a narrow dishwasher to purchase, you need to carefully listen to consumers. We tried to bring together the opinions of many people and identify several, from their point of view, worthy of dishwashers.

Consumer opinion on built-in narrowed dishwashers

Eugene, Mezhdurechensk

Six months ago, I purchased a fully built-in Bosch SPV30E40RU dishwasher in the kitchen. I stuck it instead of a floor cabinet for storing bulk products, I thought that cereals and pasta would lie in my place, but the house should have a dishwasher, albeit narrow. You could try to shove a full-sized one, but I did not take risks, I suddenly would not fit in. The dishwasher is very happy, the plates are shiny, even the old, frying pans, now look much better. Ideal price-performance ratio!

Hansa ZIM446EN is just a lifesaver. When she appeared in the house, our family breathed a sigh of relief, because now the duty in the kitchen is not a burden to anyone. We gave money for it quite a bit about 17,000 rubles at a discount, but got a real “home assistant”. I usually start washing dishes closer to the night, it does not interfere with sleep and you can save on water. I put the Hans dishwasher 5 points.

I have long dreamed of a dishwasher, and then double joy, my husband gave money for a dishwasher and a new kitchen. About the selection and ordering of a kitchen is a separate topic for conversation, I will talk about a dishwasher. We chose a narrow model, because it fit well between two floor cabinets - Electrolux ESL9450LO. In my opinion, this machine has one advantage: compact, roomy, works like a clock and dishes are washed by the highest class! I advise everyone I know only such a dishwasher.

In conclusion, we note that every day in Russia people buy hundreds of new narrow dishwashers. Their demand is great, however, there is a lot of false information about such a technique on the Internet. The main myth is that there are cars with a width of 35 cm. Our experts have checked this information many times - there are no such cars!
