Built-in or freestanding?
The first thing you need to decide on when choosing which version is more suitable for you. There are built-in and detached dishwashers. The first allow you to save space in the kitchen, tk.hide under the countertop in the intended ready-made kitchen set, as shown in the photo below:
These models are better for choosing at home, becausethey will not spoil the interior of the room. As for stand-alone, full-size dishwashers will look more ridiculous, like so:
However, if you choose a desktop dishwasher, whose dimensions are comparable to the dimensions of a microwave oven, then this option will be quite acceptable.
Please note that when choosing a desktop model of a small size, the maximum number of dishes for washing can not exceed 6 pieces( there are even mini dishwashers for 4 sets).If the family consists of two people, this option will be enough. However, for a family of 4 people, the desktop version will not work!
The volume of the boot chamber
The next thing you need to pay attention to is the volume of the dishwasher chamber. To choose a dishwasher by size, you need to first become acquainted with the existing dimensions of the products. To date, manufacturers produce the following dimensions of technology:
- full-size - 60 * 60 * 85 cm;
- narrow - 45 * 60 * 85 cm;
- compact - 45 * 45 * 50 cm
We draw your attention to the fact that the dimensions may differ slightly in height, depth and width. For example, narrow dishwashers can be not only 45 cm wide, but also 40 cm as well as 35 cm wide.
For a family of 4 or more people, it is recommended to choose a full-size dishwasher of built-in type. Such a dishwasher can hold up to 16 sets of dirty dishes. For 3-4 people can also come up with a narrow PMM, with a capacity of 6-9 sets. Well, as we already said, for one or two people it will be quite enough to pick up a desktop model with a capacity of up to five sets.

Functions and additional features of
Above we described the basic criteria for choosing a good dishwasher. Now I would like to draw attention to the important characteristics and functions that can be present in the PMM.So, if you decide to choose a quality dishwasher for your home, read the following expert advice:
- Type of drying. There are 3 main types of drying utensils: turbosupply, using fans and condensation. In the first case, drying dishes is the fastest and most effective, however, the cost of models with turbo-drying is an order of magnitude greater than that of alternative options. Condensation drying is an ordinary evaporation of moisture from washed dishes, this is the most budget option that you can choose for a summer residence. Well, the last, the most optimal in price and quality - drying with the help of fans. We recommend that you choose this option for the house, so as not to overpay the money and stay happy with the purchase.
- Noise level. No less important criterion of choice, which determines the volume of the PMM.It is recommended to choose the optimal characteristic - 43-45 dB.Such dishwashers will work almost silently.
- The location of the buttons. Management PMM can be on the front and inside( at the end of the door).If you decide to choose a built-in dishwasher, it is better that the buttons are hidden.
- Number of programs. They can be from 3 to 24. Please see the list of programs that the model you have chosen. At least in the dishwasher for household needs, there should be such modes as: "Pre-soak mode", "Half load", "Delicate washing", "Intensive washing", "Quick washing".This is a standard set of functions, which is indispensable.
- Energy efficiency class. We recommend choosing only the most economical models with the lowest power consumption - class A.
Also, according to experts, a modern dishwasher should have the following additional functions:
- leakage protection;
- sensor for salt and rinse aid in the system;
- delayed start timer;
- water purity sensor;
- child lock;
- TimeLight( addition of a ray function on the floor), as seen in the photo below, the washing process is projected onto the floor, which is very convenient for silent models.
We also recommend that you take into account the experts' recommendations regarding the choice of a good dishwasher:
