Micro dishwasher. Small dishwashers are a great option for a small kitchen

Hide

Kitchens in typical Russian apartments are small, and therefore you want to choose the appropriate dishwasher for them. Slightly less! Narrower! If possible, then somewhere embedded!

What are compact dishwashers

They can be divided into three types:

  • compact Dishwasher stand-alone;
  • built-in compact dishwasher;
  • compact dishwasher.

Of the stand-alone, this class usually includes a compact dishwasher 45 cm wide. But it is difficult to call such a unit truly miniature: 15 cm of gain in width compared to “normal” 60 cm models is too small to make it more spacious domestic cuisine.

Many experts believe that in reality a compact mini-class dishwasher is only a desktop model. Moreover, one that can be easily disconnected from water, sewage and electricity and rearranged to another place, or even taken to another room so as not to interfere with cooking in the kitchen.

Compact built-in dishwasher

The same experts believe that built-in models cannot be classified as a mini-class: they say that they do not differ in size from stand-alone ones, and therefore, no matter how much you build them in and how not to hide them behind decorative panels, less space they won't take.

But there is one nuance here. Small dishwashers under the sink are popular all over the world. They are in such demand that the standards of many countries even introduced special requirement to such machines: in their case there should be a recess for a pipe with a siphon coming from the sink or a special bevel of the back wall.


Compact under-sink dishwasher

Such machines are smaller than conventional built-in ones and the term "compact under-sink dishwashers" has the right to be. But in the Russian Federation, alas, there are not many of them!

Installing a compact dishwasher

Not much different from the installation of conventional units. And the features if a free-standing compact dishwasher is installed are narrow: exactly the same as when installing a conventional 60 cm dishwasher.

Connecting a compact dishwasher to communications during installation

Another thing is that the rules for operating a desktop machine require strictly horizontal installation unit, and the manufacturer did not provide the desktop model with adjustable legs. Then you have to level the surface on which the unit is placed on the horizon: a countertop or a bedside table cover.

An article on our website will help you identify breakdowns and flaws in the operation of a small-sized device and eliminate them.

Read about what it is and what its role is in washing dishes in the article dedicated to this device.

Connecting a compact dishwasher to water, sewerage and electricity is carried out in the same way as a full-size one. No need to console yourself with the thought that if the machine is compact, then it consumes less electricity and therefore you can use a thin wire, an 8-10 Amp socket, and the like.

All requirements are the same; You can't deviate from the safety rules.

Compact dishwasher: reviews

A compact dishwasher is not some kind of full-size ersatz. The user should not make concessions according to the formula "dimensions in exchange for quality". And how this requirement is observed in practice, we will judge by the feedback from consumers. Moreover, we will not retell complaints or positive comments about individual brands or brands. Let's summarize those reviews that apply to all compact models of dishwashers.

1. The formula "Dimensions in exchange for quality" is not justified: compact machines are washed and dried no worse than their full-size counterparts. 2. Compact models consume no less electricity than full-size ones. Water, detergents - a little less. You won't be able to save on operating costs.

3. Most of the complaints are due to the fact that dishes even for a small family (2-3 people) can rarely be washed in one washing cycle. The car has to be operated for 6-8 hours a day. Large pots, dishes either do not fit, or you have to show miracles of logistics in order to place them in the car. A certain lady, having tested the device, publishes a cry of the soul on one of the forums: “Yes, everything that the machine washes for 2 hours, I will wash under the tap in 15 minutes!”

4. Machines are not as small as users would like. Standard dimensions of table-top units for washing 6 sets are 45x50x55cm (height, depth, width). That is, they are quite cluttered kitchen table or nightstand. And you can’t make them smaller, since standard bowls-bowls-plates won’t fit.

Based on the foregoing, most members of the forum come to the conclusion that a compact dishwasher is a temporary option. It is good either for newlyweds, who sooner or later will acquire a larger apartment and install a full-size dishwasher; or for older people who already find it difficult to wash dishes by hand, but have the time and patience to wait for the miniature machine to do the job assigned to it.

What is the best compact dishwasher

Dimensions? But for all cars in this class, they are about the same. The width is set by the standard dimensional plates, the depth - by the number of sets for simultaneous washing. Usually - either 6 or (rarely) 4.

Price? But a cheap model may not be a help, but a burden for a housewife. And her husband, who will have to constantly repair it.

But that doesn't mean that expensive model will be the best.

Quality of washing, washing, energy saving level?

We interviewed managers of 7 Moscow stores and they unanimously agreed that Russians take almost exclusively small-sized AAA class dishwashers and only occasionally agree to one letter “B” in the designation of the class of the unit. They prefer German brand cars as having the best price / quality ratio.

10. Indesit ICD 661- 15977 rubles. 6 sets. 43.8x50x55. Everything is like best models. It's just that it's probably hard to pronounce the name for buyers on the day of pay.

Many housewives are wary of dishwashers, while washing machines have not raised any questions for a long time. They explain their doubts by the fact that there is not enough space in the kitchen for one more unit. But if the dishwasher is small, there is always space for it. The article will discuss miniature cars and their features.

Compare with washing

If you already have washing machine- automatic, measure it. standard height is 67 cm - sometimes a little less, but maybe more. However, it fits perfectly in the bathroom.

Height

Now measure the distance in the kitchen - from the floor to the sink. It is unlikely that you intend more than 56 cm. Accordingly, the washing machine will not stand directly under the sink. And the dishwasher? Differently. The largest mini-dishwasher has a height of 45 cm, that is, it easily fits under the sink, and you don’t even have to shorten the corrugation.

On sale you can find compact cars with a height of:

  • 45 cm;
  • 40 cm;
  • 35 cm

Width

Mini-cars also differ in width:

  • The standard width is 60 cm.
  • On sale you can also find more compact models - no more than 45 cm.

There is enough space even in a very small kitchen. Much more serious are other concerns - that in old houses, communications may not withstand the connection of another device. But if you live in a new house or in an old one after the overhaul of water and sewer networks, feel free to buy a dishwasher, you won’t have any problems, but additional amenities will appear.

Important! If your kitchen has already settled washing machine, for the dishwasher there can be a place on the table.

What can she do?

Despite the small size, 6-8 place settings for a compact dishwasher at a time is not a problem at all. A set of dishes means the following set:

  • 4 plates;
  • Cup;
  • a spoon;
  • fork;

Modern models are what is commonly called “smart” technology. They independently regulate the consumption of water and electricity, control washing and can work in different modes. For all this, there are special indicators.

Important! Like any other kitchen appliances, dishwashers are divided into classes. Extra-class units, in addition to traditional functions to avoid leaks, have several drying modes, including hot air. In economy class machines, dishes are dried by special fans; some models have a condensation mode. Cars differ in terms of noise level. The higher the class, the quieter the work.

Undoubted advantages

A small dishwasher has a lot of positive qualities that can make a routine kitchen light work and pleasant:

  • small sizes;
  • simplicity and reliability;
  • efficiency;
  • profitability;
  • security;
  • spectacular design;
  • quiet work.

If you delve into all these advantages in more detail:

  • The small size allows you to place the unit so that it does not interfere with anyone and does not take up extra space.
  • Simplicity and reliability are due to the fact that miniature dishwashers are produced by recognized companies that have been operating on the market for many decades. household appliances. There are almost no little-known brands - novice manufacturers are not too willing to produce such units.
  • Small dishwashers are extremely efficient due to the fact that they use modern technologies so they basically wash very well.
  • As for savings, the vast majority of mini-dishwashers belong to energy class A, that is, the lowest.
  • These cars are absolutely safe. They are equipped with a leak protection system, and it is usually quite reliable. In addition, most models have locks to prevent accidental pressing.
  • As for the design, it is extremely diverse, so there is always the opportunity to choose a unit that perfectly matches the style of your kitchen.
  • It is also necessary to take into account the fact that the compact machine is much quieter than its full-size “sister”.

Minuses

Perfect technology does not exist in nature. Miniature dishwashers also have their drawbacks:

  • high price;
  • some features are missing.

Important! A mini dishwasher costs the same as a machine standard size. As for functions, most models do not have forced drying.

What can be washed?

The dishwasher is a wonderful thing. Just do not think that it is able to scrape off many years of dried fat and other severe pollution.

Important! She washes, but does not scrape and scrub. Therefore, the dishes must be cooked, otherwise, the bottom of the pan with burnt food will definitely not be washed off at once. But no one bothers to repeat the procedure - from the second or third time even the most severe pollution is washed off.

Can all types of dishes be placed in the miniature machine? Not all. She cleans up nicely.

  • metal utensils;
  • glass and crystal products;
  • porcelain;
  • ceramics.

But plastic must be handled with care. Dishes are not always made of high-quality plastic, and plastic containers and plates can simply burst. In addition, it is not recommended to put in the dishwasher:

  • gilded products;
  • silver-plated products;
  • plates and cups with gold rims.

The coating can be easily rubbed off, and the dishes will lose their spectacular appearance.

What to look for when buying?

Have you decided that you need a mini dishwasher? Fine. Now think about what to look for when buying:

  1. Can the machine determine how clean the dishes are.
  2. Is there child protection - a lock that prevents accidental pressing.
  3. The number of washing cycles is better if there are more than three.
  4. The number of filters - the more, the cleaner the water will be.
  5. The presence of a timer.
  6. Water and electricity saving mode.
  7. drying modes.

Principle of operation

A small desktop dishwasher works on the same principle as a standard one:

  • She washes the dishes loaded into it (a strictly defined amount) with directed jets of hot water.
  • The water temperature is around 70°C.
  • Detergent is added to the water.
  • The miniature dishwasher has a number of other mandatory functions:
    • rinsing;
    • drying.

Important! Many models have special modes for washing glass and other items that require delicate handling. There may be modes of enhanced washing, soaking, cold rinsing.

Control

Like the other kitchen appliances, dishwashers have two control modes:

  • electronic;
  • mechanical.

Used in high end devices electronic system control, she has mass additional features, and the car with this method of control looks very presentable.

The mechanical control system is simpler and cheaper. The number of functions is minimal, but quite enough for high-quality dishwashing and quick drying.

Connection

One of the advantages of compact dishwashers is that they can be connected independently. There are three connection options:

  • to hot water supply;
  • to cold water supply;
  • to hot and cold water supply.


What to choose? - Let's figure it out:

  • When connected to cold water supply, more electricity will be spent.
  • Connecting only to hot water has its own nuances:
    • it is necessary to provide a temperature of 60 ° - no more and no less;
    • the machine switches off automatically if the hot water fails.
  • The ideal option is the third one. This requires a special mixer, but most modern models he is.

Popular Models

“Kandy”, “Flavia”, “Bosch” - what to choose, because each model has its own characteristics. Let's try to figure out why each of the popular models of a small dishwasher is better than the rest.

Candy CDCF 6-07

This model has a height of 44 cm. One of the most portable machines, its dimensions are 44x50x55 cm. A simple, reliable and spacious dishwasher, it washes 6 sets of dishes at a time.

American dishwashers

One of the most popular American dishwashers is Equator. However, in the European market, these models do not stand out with any special qualities - they are not the most compact, not the most economical, not the most efficient.

The latest model of the Houston company is the Conserv 77 SS. On average, she can wash 4 sets of dishes at a time. It is easily integrated into kitchen furniture. The company itself positions this model as an office model.

European experts do not consider this model compact. But positive traits she has - she keeps track of download volume. Not so long ago, the company introduced a model with drying, but such machines have been present on the European market for a very long time.

In general, this company does not deal with compact machines. Perhaps the only model of this class that has gained great popularity in its time is the Equator CD400. But find her in conventional stores problematic now.

Swedish mini dishwashers

Despite the fact that small dishwashers - built-in and desktop, are produced by many recognized household appliances companies in different countries, Sweden is one of the leaders. In this country, several excellent models of compact cars are produced.

Electrolux ESF2450

KitchenAid produces several models in this line, but they are all very similar.

In short, the range of this type of household appliances is extremely large and diverse. If desired, you can find a dishwasher very small size which takes up almost no space. And the benefits of it are great, because washing dishes is the longest and most laborious process.

On the big kitchen You can place any built-in appliances. But what to do when the kitchen is small, and tired of washing dishes with your hands? Full-sized equipment is unlikely to fit. You will have to opt for a narrow or small desktop model. A small dishwasher under the sink or desktop is no worse than its large full-sized sisters. Let's take a closer look at some of the new models of small dishwashers, their pros and cons.

Pros and cons of small models

Small dishwashers can be more functional than standard ones. inexpensive models. They are built-in or simply placed on the table, under the sink. The power of the models is low, but they consume minimal electricity. You can connect the car with your own hands, just like a standard one.

According to user reviews, a mini dishwasher has a number of advantages:

  1. Economy in detergents.
  2. Ease of installation.
  3. The ability to place appliances in the smallest kitchen.
  4. Variety of models.
  5. The price is lower than for large equipment.
  6. Mobility, if desired, it is easy to rearrange to another place where there is a source of water and a drain hole.

Small dishwashers are installed in small apartments, at cottages.

Of the minuses stand out:

  1. Small equipment capacity. Standard for 4 - 6 sets. If there is a large amount of dirty dishes, you will have to start the machine several times.
  2. The price is high for such a small model.
  3. Not all manufacturers produce such equipment.
  4. It is difficult to find in stores, as small-sized dishwashers are not in special demand.

As you can see, the disadvantages of the technique are insignificant. And you can buy through online stores, where mini-helpers are represented by a wide range.

An overview of the most amazing mini dishwashers

The photo shows one of the smallest dishwashers.

The smallest dishwasher has the dimensions of a standard microwave oven. But the manufacturer has not produced equipment since the end of 2005, so you can only buy used ones. The reason was the low popularity due to the small capacity - for 2 sets. Consider a few modern miniature dishwashers.

Smeg DF6FABRO1

The manufacturer made the machine in a retro style, which attracts the attention of buyers. Externally, the technique resembles the models of the 50s, but inside it is modern. It can be seen in the photo.

The programs have an option for half load, many types of washing and rinsing. In terms of noise, it will please buyers with small children, since the level is only 42 dB. It is only 60 cm high, so it is easy to fit under the sink or on the countertop next to it.

The technical characteristics of the model are presented in the table:

Gota

The modern Gota dishwasher will only be produced from the end of 2016. The designers tried their best and came up with a miniature high-tech assistant.

The technical characteristics of the model are still classified, but it is known that the capacity will be small. But the consumption of electricity and detergent compositions minimum. Designed for recognition by single men and lovers of sophisticated gadgets.

Mini Maid PLS 602S

Mini-equipment reaches a height of 20 cm. Fit in the smallest kitchen with small desktops. Despite the size, the technology is not inferior to built-in models in terms of functionality.

She has two sprinklers and they are located below and above the inside. Washing programs 5, and temperature conditions 4. The price of equipment from 5,000 rubles.

Vesta

One of the most interesting models. It has a cubic shape and is available in black. Will complement any kitchen, with a variety of sizes.

More Bosch model can be seen on the video:

Electrolux ESF 2410

Electrolux has created a small model ESF 2410. Its main difference from other similar models is that it can be powered by hot water.

Electronic assistants in washing dishes are not too frequent guests in our kitchens. When asked why there is no dishwasher in your kitchen yet, many owners shrug their shoulders: there is too little space. However, the engineering genius has solved this problem too: to date, small-sized dishwashers have already been invented that will solve this problem.

The main feature of such a device is that it is designed for a limited number of dishes. This made it possible to save on dimensions, which, in turn, resolved the issue of placing the unit. Built-in compact dishwashers can be identified under the sink, while other options are placed on a wide windowsill.

The definition of a mini dishwasher can be presented in the following forms:

  • embedded dishwasher (it is small and convenient, designed for about 6 sets of dishes);
  • free standing and easy to install options.

Many users are interested in: what minimum dimensions can have such an assistant? For optimal functionality, it will be necessary to maintain a balance of 55x50x44 cm. Below this level, even on a purely theoretical level operation of the machine will not be economically feasible.

Advantages and disadvantages of devices

Babies have their perks.

  1. They consume all resources (both water and electricity) in small quantities. Such consumption is very economical.
  2. Such choice will do young couples and bachelors, because they dirty little dishes.
  3. For small apartments(especially by the type of studios) such a solution fits perfectly.
  4. Price small device will fit into any budget.
  5. This device has it all necessary functions from big brothers - load sensors, leakage protection and so on.
  6. In addition to the fact that such a unit is also little noise, his unusual design A great addition to any small kitchen.

There are also disadvantages:

  1. The mini-format of the dishwasher will not fit more six sets of dishes. And if the owners put a pan there, nothing else will fit. So large items will have to be washed by hand.
  2. Where to put the dishwasher? If the model is placed on the table, then it will “steal” too much free space there.
  3. A small narrow assistant is often inconvenient in terms of loading dirty dishes.

Overview of popular models

Consumers appreciated such offers - the demand was picked up famous brands. Every year a sufficient number of such devices are produced, among which there are very interesting options:



So, small dishwashers answer positively to the well-known Hamlet question - they are worthy use even in a very limited kitchen space. The future owner can only choose the best model for himself.

Let's think. Traditionally, a washing machine under the sink is 67 cm high. It is understood that it will stand in the bathroom (although restrictions have been introduced by law). Maybe that's why there are no models of dishwashers under the sink of such a height (in the room for washing dishes according to SNiP there should be daylight, window). For fun, they bothered to measure the height of the compartment kitchen furniture. From basement to sink. It turned out 56 cm to the bottom of the sink, before the start of the corrugation comes out 45 cm. Amazingly, the smallest dishwasher from the compact squad has a given height. We will fit inside without buying a special flat sink (the number will fail with a washing machine).

Compact dishwashers

I would like to thank the store Electrovenik for the information provided. A little sparse, but accurate. It will allow you to get an idea of ​​​​products that are rigidly segmented into groups. Options can be further refined.

Dishwashers USA

The sites contain photographs, images of nameless supposedly smallest dishwashers in the world. However, after some research, we dare to assume that we are talking about the Equator CD400, the height is 47 cm. An ordinary compact dishwasher, not the smallest. Appliance cycle consumes 2.9 gallons (11 liters) of water versus 11 gallons used standard models. The manufacturer is cunning in the instructions, saying: a small dishwasher is more economical, it really consumes less energy than a full-size one per cycle. Not 16 cutlery sets will be loaded there.

A similar trick is used with detergent:

  • "One spoon per cycle is enough."

The loading is a little non-standard, it turns out something about 4 dinner sets. Not surprised by the incredible volume. Solid midrange. A company like an American one, from Houston, offers one model of dishwashers (Conserv 77 SS), the description is confused with a refrigerator (link of the official website), they are powerless to tell more about the new product. The new equipment of the company is positioned as a model of offices, built into the furniture. The company is called a friend of nature - the products are designed to save water, energy, electricity.

According to electronic stores, the model is not compact, it is designed for 12 sets of dishes. Full size equipment with features more like a washing machine (load volume tracking). It is remembered that the American manufacturer is busy producing a wide range of household appliances.

Last summer, Equator introduced a washer-dryer. It seemed strange: the newspapers paid attention to the news, there was a desire to find out more. It turned out that the machine is equipped combined system drying. The user is free to choose one mode:

  1. Spin.
  2. Turbo (wind blower that throws steam out).


The gadget says: with a width of 24 inches, the washing machine will be a joyful find for trailers, yachts, small apartments. Note that the cause of the inflated noise around the equipment of the standard width is not clear. However, the company lives, works, it's just too lazy to follow the site. In case someone, having not found models on the Yandex Market, accuses us of describing a dull junk.

From the foregoing, one single question arises - why Equator does not release strenuously small dishwashers. America's demand is low? You guessed it, a small Equator CD400 under-sink dishwasher found on E-Bay.

Compact Swedish dishwashers

Fast forward to Scandinavia where they come from best convectors. The small desktop dishwasher Electrolux ESF2450 is a typical representative of the family in dimensions. Not opportunities. Inside fits 6 sets of dishes, a cube with a side of 45 cm is enough. The price of the device is rather big. It starts from 12,000 rubles, in addition it is difficult to find a store where you can make a purchase at all.

The condensation type of drying is lame (class B), but there are options:

  1. Indication of the level of salt, rinse aid.
  2. Protection against leaks only body.
  3. 48 dB noise level.
  4. Water purity sensor.

It is worth noting that it is possible to connect hot water to the device immediately ( Maximum temperature entrance 60 ºС). It will save time, taking into account the prices of management companies, it will most likely not come out cheaper. Please note that components are added to hot water to combat pipe scale.

Perhaps it will have a positive effect on the state of the heating element (not a fact), but the contamination of the liquid will become greater. We see a chance, emollient salt will be saved (although coarse, dirty salt has already been added). This applies only to houses connected to boiler rooms. Those who boil water with cauldrons on their own are free to discard considerations.

A small dishwasher is placed on the table, it is not convenient to make communications, since the water supply outlet and the sewer inlet are located under the countertop. The product design is unique. I would like to call the device semi-embedded. The door is opaque, the control panel is visible. It turns out average.

The timer, functions of the dosed consumption of water, detergents are available. Condensation drying utensils require less space to accommodate auxiliary equipment, typical compact models. For 12,000 rubles, I wanted to see complete protection against leaks, the rest will follow. Small dishwashers are not cheap.


Exotic compact dishwashers

A number of dishwashers will be called exclusive in terms of outward signs and principle of action. If today in Japan three people sleep on multi-story "bunks", they do not complain, a washing machine the size of a slow cooker has come out, let's not be surprised at exotic dishwashers.

Gota

The compact Gotas are more like an audio recorder. Similarities are added by a hinged cover, like a CD player. The designers of SBW Staff released the device, seeing what we would rather call portable. Washed dishes, disconnected communications, relocated.

The authorship of the novelty (2009) belongs to the group of designers Ibsen Kaldas, Cesar Lima, Leonardo Barelli and Fernando Sobchakas. The names are reminiscent of Italy, details are powerless to give. It is believed that the machine is built on the principle of recycling. Part of the water from the previous cycle is filtered and used in the next one. Experts spoke about this, it is not clear how the liquid will be sterilized and purified. It also remains unclear what happens to the dirt. Gota is extravagant, mysterious.

Briva-in-sink

The smallest built-in dishwasher is Briva-in-sink, designed with a piece of countertop. Therefore, it cannot take up less space. The loading hatch opens from above. There is a sink on the countertop. The equipment is connected in one step.

Whatever the small built-in dishwashers from other manufacturers, at least the case is present, increasing the dimensions.

The drawing of the brochure shows: rinse aid is poured into the far wall, not a word about salt is heard. Tray detergent located on the lid inside. The control panel is located under a cover on the end of the machine facing the user. The model is fully integrated.
