How to choose a dishwasher

Nothing makes the mistress’s life like a high -quality dishwasher. And most importantly, such a technique will not only take care of the delicate hands of a woman, but also save time and money for the family.

Such household appliances as a machine for washing dishes are still considered the subject of luxury, and you can not always meet it in every kitchen. However, with increasing water prices and energy supply, many families today come to the conclusion that buying a dishwasher is much more profitable than washing mountains of dishes manually. Moreover, this process takes every day from the hostess not only time and effort, but also the joy of any festival.

In addition to tenfold saving water costs, a car for washing dishes is easy to cope with any, even the most complex types of pollution of all your dishes. Also, with the help of such technology, you can easily wash fat with a baking sheet and even the details of the refrigerator and oven. Such a technique pays for itself in a year of use, so it remains to solve an important problem: how to choose a dishwasher?

Pluses and minuses to purchase

Buy reasons

Of course, every housewife can have their own personal motives for the purchase of such household appliances, however, citing reviews about dishwashers of any brands, the main reasons for such acquisition can be distinguished:

• better -quality rinsing will allow you to effectively wash away all funds from dishes;
• washing dishes is carried out absolutely without your participation in the process and even with your complete absence of a house;
• hot water is not required;
• they are used, which are different from manual washing, which not only much stronger and more efficiently fight pollution, but also have an antibacterial effect;
• water consumption when washing ordinary dishes is reduced by five times, and with complex pollution almost ten;
• drying is produced much faster and easier and does not leave stains and drones even on glass and crystal surfaces.

The reasons are not to buy

Like any equipment, the apparatus for washing dishes also has its negative features:

1. Filling out the area. Like the washing machine, the dishwashing technique requires a place in the useful space of any kitchen.
2. It does not wash all the dishes. Dishes of aluminum, tin, copper, non -ferrous plastic and wood are not suitable for washing in any car.
3. Electricity spending. The dishwasher is a strong enough consumer of electricity, but if the machine has sensors for determining the number of dishes and the degree of pollution, then this will save. Also in the house where such a technique should appear powerful wiring, and if you connect hot water, then the car will not heat it by spending energy resources.
4. The price of a dishwasher. A rather impressive cost of equipment from 15,000 p. up to 60,000 p. It scares away many users, but the price is not overstated, but costs these funds, as it saves not only the consumption of water, but also saves the priceless time and strength of the hostesses.
5. Cleaning products. Such a device requires a special detergent with enhanced effect.

Types of dishwashers

There are several main types of such machines:

1. Free deposits.
2. Built -in dishwashers:

• partially built -in - with a visible control panel;
• completely built -in - with the control panel at the top of the door.

Size

According to the dimensions, the dishwasher is grouped in several types:

1. Compact dishwashers (up to 45 cm in width) combine up to 8 sets of dishes and have small dimensions and minimum functions, but are the cheaper. Such a technique also consumes the least, but in terms of power and dimensions, it will not allow to wash a large pan or pan. Ideal for small apartments and families or for use in the country.
2. Standard or full -size. A 60 cm dishwasher contains up to 14 standard sets and is suitable for a family of 3 or more people, and is also equipped with useful modes and additional features.
3. Narrow (45 cm in width). This technique is designed for 10 sets and is ideal for small kitchens and a small family, as well as their cost by 10% of standard models.

The standard European set of dishes includes 11 items:

• 3 tablespoons;
• 3 plates;
• saucer;
• fork;
• knife;
• cup;
• cup.

Power

All European manufacturers divide cars for washing dishes by economical classes:

1. "A" the class has a capacity of 800-1050 W, several spray of water, turbo dry and consumes from 10 to 15 liters of water with the same manual sink with 60 liters;
2. "B" the class has a capacity of 1060-1090 watts with active drying and recovery;
3. "C" the class has a capacity of 1100-1490 W and condensate drying;
4. “D” and “E” - average economy, spend from 14 to 16 liters;
5. “F” and “G” are uneconomical at a consumption of up to 26 liters.

Programs and management

Standard modes of dishwasher can be of such types:

• bio - for effective fat removal;
• delicate - for fragile dishes and at a temperature of not more than 40 degrees;
• intensive - for washing pots and pans at a temperature of more than 60 degrees;
• incomplete - allows you to work on one of the loaded trays with a small number of dishes;
• rinsing dishes;
• preliminary washing and washing the remains of food with cold water;
• standard everyday sink;
• drying with hot air;
• economical - immediately after eating for not too complex pollution at 50 degrees;
• extra - for weak pollution.

Management can be electromechanical, sensory, electronic or automatic, which allows only to select the program, and the machine selects the rest of the parameters on its own.

Other functions

Varieties of models can have such additional functions to help their mistresses:

1. Blocking. This function is relevant if there are children in the house. It allows you to block the doors and buttons of the machine.
2. Incomplete loading. This mode allows you to significantly save on energy and water costs, reducing its volume and additional rinsing with a small amount of dishes.
3. Water stop. Such a function is turned on automatically or, if necessary, draining water from the chamber in case of a breakdown, is often accompanied by a sound or light signal.
4. Change of basket position. Often, all dishwashers are equipped with two baskets and is very convenient if you can change them, positions or removed with unnecessary. The lower basket is designed for large dishes, the upper for plates and cups, which has tanks for devices.
5. Timer. The delay in the sink will allow cleansing at the time you specified, for example, at night or in your absence. The function is especially convenient for reduced electricity tariffs in the night period.
6. Filtration. This mode allows you to place dishes without preliminary cleaning from food residues. Self -cleaning, crushing and withdrawal of waste, the car can perform independently, which does not clog the drainage of equipment.

Features of some models

Some dishwashers have useful technical characteristics that must be emphasized when choosing a dishwasher:

• internally lighting is designed for better sorting and loading dishes;
• internal details made of stainless steel allow longer to serve as technology with constant contact with water;
• the ability to connect to hot water will save electricity;
• the ability to fix the door at various levels makes the use of the technique more convenient;
• protection of electric nodes on some models will allow you to speak on the phone, watch TV without interference and prevent a breakdown with tension changes;
• the presence of dispensers for the rinseum and regenerating salt to soften water, which allows the machine to serve longer and harder the dishes;
• the presence of a display will find out the details of each sink program and, if desired, make its own adjustments;
• the presence of heat transfer function will help save energy costs;
• adjusted rubberized legs of equipment will allow you to reliably and efficiently install the dishwasher even if the floor will be irregularly and silent;
• signal light shows that the machine has finished its work;
• removable and regulated nozzles for water flows will help to more effectively wash pollution in hard -to -reach places;
• filters with a self -cleaning function allow saving water and electricity due to good quality of washing.

Connecting a dishwasher

Just like the washing machine, the dishwasher must be connected to the main water supply systems and the sewer output output (not more than 1.5 m). Even if you purchased a dishwasher in an online store cheaper, then when connecting, you should not save money and it is better to invite a specialist. In addition to connecting with the main systems, the master will check the wiring and its power for the correct operation of the equipment and in order to avoid a fire or flood from a breakdown.

Also, if you take the installation on your own, then the store guarantee for a dishwasher will cease to be valid. If household breakdown or force majeure is happening, then even the trial will not help in the return of funds spent on expensive equipment and your damage, and possibly neighboring houses. Therefore, an experienced master will also carry out a procedure for grounding such household appliances.

Proper care and prevention

For the prevention of damage to washing equipment and a long and high -quality service, such care rules should be adhered to:

• with constant use, monthly wipe the internal walls of the machine and the door with special cleaning products;
• use special tools for cleaning the machine, washing dishes, rinsing and preventing the formation of scale from hard tap water;
• clean the filter regularly and wash the baskets and removable parts of the machine.

Errors of dishwashers

A particularly important factor in the production of detergents is their safety and a system for preventing water leakage during breakdown. First of all, in a high -quality machine there should be a complete tightness of the internal detergent chamber and a well -tuned system of water supply inside the technique. All hoses should be high -strength, and the door and its connections should completely protect the machine from water overflow.

Automatic protection systems can be of such types:

• water Control;
• water Proof;
• water Stop.

When the chamber is leaked or re -executed, they automatically block the water supply and open the drain valve to lower it into the sewer, and some models are equipped with sound signaling of the breakdown. Such famous German brands Siemens and Bosch can guarantee not only equipment repair or replacement, but also repairing a house for you and the injured neighbors. This guarantee does not exist in all brands and is valid only during the warranty period.
