Easy for them to find a free penny, even in the tiny kitchen, build or simply put a useful technique in one of the modules of the furniture wall. This is an excellent acquisition for the owners a small living space, as well as those who do not tolerate piles of furniture and household appliances.

selection rules

Compact dishwashers are quite varied. They can be divided into several classes:

1. Desktop-standing model - so small that they can safely stand in the corner of a table or on a narrow pedestal. If desired, they are easy to be disconnected from the power supply and water pipes to rearrange to another location. Accommodate a 4 to 6 sets.
2. Built compact dishwasher is considered the best option to create a functional environment in a small kitchen. It was originally designed so that it can be fixed in one of the modules of furniture set. A decorative facade will allow the techniques even for 6-8 sets to remain inconspicuous.
3. The most interesting option - a compact dishwasher designed for installation under the sink. Usually at the top of the housing is a bevel on the rear wall or a special recess to drain the knee did not stop the installation. But if not, to the sink, you can connect a short walk siphon.

The sizes of all the models, having the right to be called "compact" does not exceed 45-60 cm. That is, they will easily fit into any standard set of furniture without breaking the harmony of space. Equipment may be slightly different depth, but it all depends on how many sets for a single boot is designed. Most often available models that can accommodate six complete sets of table - a standard measure for the average family. But there are compact dishwashers and 4 sets.

Keep in mind that the size of the equipment, in this case does not depend on. Energy consumption, water consumption and detergents, functionality and quality of washing - all of which can be exactly the same, if a full-size and compact dishwasher is a representative of one class.

So buy a mini-model makes sense only for the preservation of useful kitchen space. Economic component of the no-no in this matter.

• cleaning;
• drying;
• Energy consumption.

Ideally, all three positions, a compact dishwasher has a class of "AAA" (plus sign to denote a special welcome). Sometimes you can afford to labeling wormed one letter "B". But to bring the case to the "C" is not desirable, even if the technique truly budget. The reason is that such units in total spending more of your money in the process than at the time of purchase. That is efficiency and economy need to be here in the first place.

In an extreme case, it will have to buy water-resistant plate separately, and a compact dishwasher send to one of the open shelves. The closet behind the facade it can only be in the open position, and the work will have to leave the door open.

Individual attention, compact dishwashers are designed to be installed under the sink. They have a height of 60 cm, and therefore perfectly placed in the cabinet under the sink. Just can effectively use the space, which is so difficult to find the application. Nevertheless, compact dishwasher again require protection from the inside of furniture, so use insulation film.

Connecting the unit to the main system is not too complicated. The most important thing to follow the instructions and observe the established order:

1. The conclusion of the drain hose into a drain pipe;
2. Accession to the water pipe;
3. Connecting to the network.

That the machine is working properly, and cleaning quality was always on top, it needs to be perfect to put in a horizontal plane.

Therefore compact freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with adjustable feet - look out for their presence with the purchase.
