Which dishwasher to choose - reviews

Which dishwasher to choose? This is a truly puzzling question, especially for a person who has no experience operating a dishwasher at all. What should be a dishwasher in terms of functionality, appearance, type? You can, in principle, get answers to these questions from the seller, but to what extent these answers will be adequate, because advertising and outright lies are mixed with objective information. Let’s try to resolve the issue of choice, based on real reviews from people, we’ll see what happens.

Narrow built-in dishwashers

Vladimir, Saratov

My family has been using dishwashers for 17 years. My brother sent me the very first one from Germany, excellent equipment from Siemens, full-size freestanding. Our car worked for 9 years without interruptions, then we sold it to the neighbor with whom she still stands.

Instead, they bought Bosch, also of German manufacture, which had served for almost 8 years and if it had not been for the fire in the kitchen, it would have served to this day. And now, my wife and I decided not to change the German brands and decided to choose an inexpensive, but in our opinion, very practical and convenient narrow dishwasher only 45 cm wide (to be precise, even 44.8 cm) - Bosch SPV30E40RU. For me and my wife, as for experienced users of such a technique, the following points caught my eye.

• The machine has 3-in-1 tablet compartments, which means you don’t have to carry powder packets and rinse aid bottles now. You buy a pack of pills, and they already have everything you need.
• This dishwasher is quite narrow (45 cm). In our case, this played a decisive role, since in our kitchen we were able to shove a washing machine into a niche nearby, whereas before there was only a dishwasher and a narrow floor cabinet.
• The machine runs relatively quietly, our old one rattled like a grain crusher.

We all liked the dishwasher very much, we consider it a successful acquisition. Evaluate the Bosch SPV30E40RU dishwasher by 5 points.

I could buy a dishwasher 10 years ago, but my head always stopped me. The fact is that from the sounds of working equipment I get a terrible migraine because of this and I had to move out of town. But since I don’t like washing dishes, I decided to buy a quiet Bosch SPV53M20RU model of a dishwasher made in Germany. For me, the main thing is that the car does not cause a terrible headache, because it works quite quietly. But besides this, it is narrow - 45 cm, has a load of 9 sets of dishes, 5 programs and a load sensor.

Why did I choose her? Firstly, it is quiet, and secondly, of the German assembly, which means it is reliable, and thirdly, the reviews of people are mostly positive. I don’t know, however, how much these reviews were true, but apparently they are mostly true. I give an assessment of the dishwasher 5 with a plus.

I deliberately looked for a dishwasher 45 cm wide, because the workers, making a kitchen set, screwed up and made a niche not 60 cm, but 45. My choice fell on the inexpensive Chinese dishwasher Hansa ZIM446EH. At first I thought I was buying a German car, but then I drew attention to the inscription "made in China." This did not stop me and the next day they already brought me and installed a new dishwasher.

Impressions are the most positive. The dishwasher is narrow, neat and stylish, yet the width is only 45 cm, compared to other machines it is just a fashion model. I liked the car, so I decided to leave feedback about it on different sites. She has a delay in starting, 6 different washing modes, half load, the ability to use tablets. Sufficient loading - 9 sets. For a family of 3 people, the perfect choice.

Full-size freestanding dishwashers

Maria, Nefteyugansk

The kitchen equipment was chosen by the whole family, even the children were connected.Together they probably read all the articles on the Internet, people’s reviews, watched videos, sorted out the types of dishwashers, even wanted to buy a narrow 45 cm, but changed their minds and finally we got the best machine. Which one? Everything is simple - this is a free-standing dishwasher Hansa ZWM607IEH.

• She has a normal width (60 cm) and a very decent capacity - 14 place settings.
• In most cases, reviews on the Internet about her are positive.
• Water and energy costs are normal.
• There are 5 very good washing modes, including the delicate washing, which we most often run.

Over 7 months of operation, only one drawback was discovered. It surfaced right away and didn’t really make me happy - this machine has no “pre-soak” mode. In our old dishwasher, there was such a regime, and now I have no hands without it - I have to wean. But overall this is the best car, I'm sure! I give our dishwasher a rating of five.

What equipment to choose for the house, so as not to make a mistake and not get on the money? I never asked such a question, but trusted only intuition. I usually look at what I’m buying, and my inner voice tells me this is a good thing, or they give me a marriage. This time I bought a dishwasher, everything was as usual - sellers offered me “the best models”, and I took what I liked and did not lose!

The model of the dishwasher Hansa ZWM606IH is a full-size and fully featured technique, in appearance and in fact it is very reliable. During the year of operation, no failures, even hints of failure. I am very proud of myself that I once again bought inexpensive very good equipment, I recommend the model to everyone.

Full-size built-in dishwashers

Anastasia, Novosibirsk

We have had a Bosch German dishwasher in our house for 5 years now, so we decided to buy a dishwasher of the same company for my mother as a present for her anniversary. The choice fell on the built-in full-size Bosch SMV47L10RU, in her new kitchen just the workers made a niche 62 cm wide, this model just came up. Mother's joy knew no bounds when, after a festive buffet reception, she washed a mountain of dishes without even wetting her hands. As she herself admits, working in the kitchen has now become a joy. Mom gives the most flattering reviews about Bosch SMV47L10RU.

Catherine, Moscow

Consulted with the seller and decided to choose a fully built-in dishwasher ELECTROLUX ESL95201LO. The design of the machine is universal, suitable for any kitchen. Dish baskets are very capacious, there are already 13 sets, for our family of 5 people it is just right. There are 5 washing programs, among which I prefer the “quick wash” mode. The masters, when they connected the dishwasher, said that you can connect it to hot water, I agreed, but in vain. I thought and it turns out that it is more expensive to use hot water, so I just turned off the tap and use only cold water in the dishwasher.

For a large house, this is an excellent unit. It is able to wash a mountain of dishes in a very short time, and if the dishes are very dirty, you can turn on an intensive washing. You can also not be afraid of flooding, as the instructions say that the machine is completely protected from leaks. The price of the model is more than acceptable, I am very happy to buy and I recommend this car to all friends, I write reviews on social networks!

Small dishwashers

Elena, Krasnoyarsk

Well, nowhere do I put a big dishwasher. In my small kitchen, as soon as I did not redraw the space and all the same, it turns out nonsense, even a 45-cm machine doesn’t come in, not that big is 60 cm. But still, apparently, my desire to have a machine overcame all the difficulties and in the end, I came across a small Bosch SKS41E11RU dishwasher, which miraculously stood on the nightstand next to the microwave.

There are not many plates in it, but still what accumulated during the day can be washed at a time. Great stuff and takes up a bit of space!

Ivan, St. Petersburg

In short, I have a Candy CDCF 6S07 dishwasher, I'm not happy with it. In essence, what I wanted was a small dishwasher, the dishes fit a little, washes for a long time, and at the same time buzzes like a tractor. If you already buy a dishwasher, then it is better to take a normal, full-sized, or not take anything - there is no sense in a small machine. Now I wash my dishes again with my hands and I think someone would like to brush up more expensively this “miracle of technology”. My model rating is 2.

Combined dishwashers with stove

Galina, Rybinsk

When I saw this technical disgrace of Candy TRIO9501, I did not like it too much. But when my husband and I calculated how much space in the kitchen can be freed up by refusing a separate dishwasher and stove, we decided that we would look at these hybrids of stoves and dishwashers. Having studied the characteristics of several models from the company Kandy (others for some reason do not produce such equipment), we settled on the Candy TRIO9501. We bought, supplied gas and electricity, as well as water.

The car itself costs about 100,000 rubles, plus we gave it dearly for the connection, because I had to call the gas workers, but in the end I was completely delighted. There is no extra equipment in the kitchen, almost 1.5 meters of space has been freed up, which we gladly took in order to increase the dining table. Kandy 5+ for an original and useful notion.

Karina, Moscow

I read an article somewhere Overview of the gas stove with dishwasher, I thought what kind of bullshit they would not come up with to get money from us. But, ironically, a year later I bought a combination dishwasher, which was described in this article by Candy TRIO9501. There is not enough room in my apartment, there is no kitchen at all, instead of it there is a corner with a sink. In short, I decided, gave the money and regret it. The dishwasher holds enough dishes, and the gas stove can generally be said to be full. Candy TRIO9501 ​​is my lifesaver.

Last Tips

To summarize, I want to say a few more tips from buyers on how to choose a dishwasher.

1. Do not chase a well-known brand, usually such dishwashers are 30% more expensive. Today, among the huge variety of technology, there are even models of the Chinese assembly, which people speak well of. So why not consider this option, the car will work for 7-8 years, and you can change the inexpensive one to a new one.
2. When choosing a dishwasher, evaluate the actual capacity of the baskets. Imagine how many dishes you have in your dishwasher. Plates, mugs, pans are different, but because the declared capacity may not correspond to how many dishes you place.
3. When buying a dishwasher, do not forget about consumables for it (salt, rinse aid, powder, gel or tablets). They can "eat" an impressive portion of your budget, and then no dishwasher will bring joy.
4. Before buying a dishwasher, study the functions and modes that it may have. Decide which ones you really need and which ones will be useless for you. The main thing is not the number of modes and options, but their purpose. Such functions and characteristics may include: half load, delayed start, intensive zone, turbo dryer, delicate washing of crystal glassware, camera illumination, height adjustment of baskets, the presence of an audio signal and protection from children.
   

   Each additional function can affect the cost of technology, so be careful.

5. Having bought and fully inspected the dishwasher in the store, do not be lazy to inspect it after delivery at home. It may happen that the equipment got a defect during transportation or they didn’t put in the right machine that you examined, but the same one, but taken from the warehouse.

So, once again, the Internet contains tens of thousands of reviews of people about dishwashers, but only about 10% of them are real. It took us a lot of work to isolate among the wound garbage, the real opinions of people, so our specialists will be very pleased if you study the above selection more carefully.
