Built-in dishwashers Corting

Sellers love to talk about how good the German Corting equipment is, forgetting that it is only a German brand. Dishwashers are assembled in China from Chinese components, so they can rightfully be called “pure Chinese”. This, of course, does not mean that Korting built-in dishwashers are bad; moreover, experts ask you to pay special attention to some models, and we will definitely do this in our publication today.

Advantages of this technique

It’s best to start getting acquainted with a dishwasher by considering its advantages. This is a tradition. And since we honor traditions, we decided to list these advantages right away.

1. Almost all models have an impressive set of programs, unlike, for example, Bosch dishwashers.
2. Corting machines have well-designed washing chambers that can accommodate dishes of almost any size.
3. Instead of two sprayers, like most other machines, Corting has three.

Three spray nozzles significantly improve the cleaning quality and help water reach even hard-to-reach places.

4. Korting has excellent transformable baskets that allow you to stack both the most ordinary and non-standard dishes.
5. Most machines have an impressive set of functions, among which are: delayed start of the mode, a sensor that monitors the purity of the water, and the latest water leakage protection system.

It seems like nothing supernatural, but we are not talking about elite equipment, but about budget, or at most middle-class cars with an appropriate price.Therefore, you can’t expect control functions using a smartphone from these machines, and there’s no need for that. A dishwasher should be a “kitchen worker”, and not a newfangled gadget from the apple family!

Korting KDI 60165

Let's start the review with the leader, according to users and experts, and at the same time the leader in the number of sales last year, Korting KDI 60165. The equipment is not the simplest, but quite reliable and inexpensive. Today it can be purchased for $500, which is within the budget price range. The model is built-in; the washing chamber, in addition to the baskets, can accommodate 14 sets of dishes. There is a screen that displays information for the user.

The model is not super economical, but it spends water within reasonable limits - no more than 11 liters per cycle. She washes the dishes quite thoroughly, spending a little more than 3 hours on the standard program. It is not very noisy (47 dB).

I would especially like to note the presence of eight washing programs and a limited load mode, in which you can significantly save resources, provided that there are few dishes. To all this, the manufacturer has added an average package of functions in the form of:

• beam display system on the floor;
• complete protection against water leakage;
• box for capsules and tablets;
• a set of light bulbs for a box with salt and a compartment for rinse aid.

Corting machines have very strong baskets that have an unusual configuration that is convenient for loading dishes. There is also an unusual tray for spoons and forks, as well as an improved glass holder with silicone nozzles.

Korting KDI 60175

This Corting dishwasher model is at a higher evolutionary level than the previous one, but this does not mean that it is much better. Let's start with the cost.If the 65 model can be purchased for $500, then for the Korting KDI 60175 you will have to pay no less than $550. How is this model better than the one described above?

1. It has all the qualities of the Korting KDI 60165, except for the partial loading.
2. With exactly the same maximum load, it consumes only 10 liters of water.
3. It works much quieter; if the Korting KDI 60165 produces 47 dB, then this model produces no more than 44 dB.

In fact, even a difference of a few dB can be very noticeable.

4. The package of additional functions has expanded slightly thanks to the “Children's dishes” mode. Its essence lies in the special hypoallergenic treatment of baby dishes. After this treatment, you can safely water and feed a child who is allergic to detergents; there will be no problems.

Korting KDI 45130

One of the best and, by the way, very inexpensive dishwashers from the Corting brand with a body width of 45 cm. Its characteristics are unlikely to impress the modern spoiled buyer, but it is really worth paying attention to. The machine can accommodate 10 sets of dishes, but in fact the number of sets is slightly underestimated. Experienced users claim that they stack 12 sets and everything is washed perfectly. Korting KDI 45130 does not have a display, but its control module is quite modern and high-performance.

In one cycle, the machine spends 12 liters of water, which is quite a lot, considering that its full-size counterparts manage to wash 14 sets with ten liters. The noise level is also relatively high, but does not exceed the average value of 50 dB, which is also good news. The control module has 6 washing programs, a four-step thermistor and a partial loading mode for the baskets. The set of functions is not bad.There is a timer for delaying the start, partial protection against water leakage, a box for 3-in-1 products and a melody at the end of the washing cycle.

The baskets of this machine are strong and spacious, and the interior of the stainless steel washing chamber allows for the free arrangement of the baskets and tray. This equipment costs about $380 without discounts.

Korting KDI 4575

This model costs around $540, but is a bit overpriced in our opinion. Let's explain why we think so. This is a narrow model that can accommodate 10 place settings. It has a rather primitive display and is not childproof, but it does an excellent job of washing dishes and only uses 10 liters of water. The profitability is not record-breaking, but still.

The model has as many as 9 washing programs in its arsenal. Even the washing machine will be jealous here. There is also a partial load mode, which is completely unnecessary with such a small water consumption. This model cannot be called quiet, since during operation it produces noise up to 49 dB, but this is not the biggest problem. Experts advise installing thicker sound insulation on built-in dishwashers. In this case, the noise level can be easily reduced to 35 or even 30 dB. All of the above is complemented by a standard set of functions, nothing supernatural. So why do we pay such money? And we pay for quality.

Owner reviews

Alexey, Saratov

Once again I am convinced that it is useless to contact sellers with any questions. I asked to show good German dishwashers from an inexpensive series, and he sold me Corting. I arrived home, read the inscriptions on the box and realized that they had sold me China. I didn’t take the car back; after all, for this money it’s difficult to find European-assembled equipment.My Korting KDI 45130 has been plowing for a year now and nothing, everything is fine. Doesn't wash dishes with a five-star rating, but a solid four.

Alisa, Moscow

I recently replaced my tragically deceased Bosch dishwasher with a Korting KDI 60165. I’m incredibly happy, no problems with it. Once it became clogged with fragments of a broken cup, but my husband managed to clean everything in about 10 minutes. In principle, it has a primitive design, but my husband has “golden hands” and will fix it if anything happens. In terms of parameters, I was completely satisfied with it, and the price was absolutely super, I didn’t even have to take out a loan, I bought it from my salary.

Julia, Khabarovsk

About a year and a half ago we purchased a Korting KDI 60175. The impression is mixed. The machine broke down in the second month, but we managed to call a service technician who fixed everything for free. Then the machine began to wash everything well until it broke down again. This time it was our fault, the filter was clogged, which I cleaned with my own hands. It's a troublesome technique and costs a lot of money on powders, but it cleans well. My complaints are more about dishwashers in general, rather than specifically about the Corting dishwasher.

Mikhail, Moscow

I really liked working with the Korting KDI 4575 machine, it is simple and conscientious. I leave the dishes to wash at night. She manages to clean everything, so in the morning I get clean plates. For 8 months she has never let me down, “I’ll spit over my left shoulder and knock on wood.” I recommend to buy!

As we have seen, not a single fully built-in dishwasher from the Corting family has completely disappointed users and specialists, but few admiring voices can be heard. From this we can conclude that Cortings are good as “workhorses” in the average kitchen and can be completely trusted.At the same time, you won’t expect anything special from this technology; it works for its money, no better!
