Review of gas stove with dishwasher and/or oven
People go to great lengths to save space in a small kitchen and make it at least a little more functional. Manufacturers of household appliances, aware of this desire, offer their solutions that make significant progress in solving the age-old problem of lack of space. They offer combined appliances that combine the functions of several household appliances. For example, a gas stove is combined with a dishwasher, an oven is combined with a hob and a dishwasher, and there are other combined appliances, which will be discussed further.
Difficulties associated with purchasing a combination dishwasher
By purchasing a stove combined with a dishwasher, you gain 60-80 centimeters of usable space. Because instead of a stove with an oven and a dishwasher, which together will take up about 120-150 cm in width, you get one piece of household appliances, only 60 cm wide. The benefits are obvious, but in addition to the benefits, there are also problems.
- Price. A built-in stove with a dishwasher costs the same (or even more) as a separate electric or gas stove with an oven and a good dishwasher. For this “miracle of technology”, get ready to shell out $900 or more.
- Functionality. An electric stove or gas stove combined with a dishwasher has limited functionality. In particular, the dishwasher will accommodate a maximum of 6-8 sets of dishes, and the oven has only one baking tray. An electric stove or gas stove, or rather the hob, will be fully functional. For such money the result is more than modest.
- Communications.A gas stove combined with a dishwasher will require a large number of communications: gas, electricity, water. In essence, it is not as safe as it might seem at first glance.
- Technical difficulty. Imagine how many parts there are in an appliance that combines a hob, oven and dishwasher. If something breaks, and the probability is very high given such a complex design, maintenance will be very expensive, if the technician manages to repair such equipment at all.
For your information! Despite the fact that the design of the combination dishwasher is very unusual and non-standard, the parts and components for it are very common, the same as those that come with conventional dishwashers and stoves produced by a specific manufacturer.
Here, perhaps, are all the main points that you should immediately pay attention to when deciding to buy a dishwasher. If you are completely satisfied with all of the above, then you can begin choosing a manufacturer and a specific model.
Review of stove with dishwasher - pros and cons
There are not many combination dishwashers on the market yet. This is explained by the fact that the manufacturer is still just mastering this promising technical area. But some models already deserve our attention, let's look at them.
Candy TRIO9501W. This model is referred to as a combined gas stove with oven and dishwasher. The characteristics of Candy TRIO9501W are quite remarkable:
- standard four-burner gas cooktop;
- electric oven with grill;
- A dishwasher located under the oven that can accommodate 6 place settings.
The well-known manufacturer claims the ease of use of such a combined machine, because all the necessary kitchen units are nearby, arranged extremely compactly. The hob has electric ignition. The oven (if you remove the grill) holds one baking sheet; at least the manufacturer provided the oven with only one standard holder for it.
Candy TRIO9501W has dimensions of 865x600x600 mm (H x W x D), any household appliances can be placed next to it, since the walls of the combined dishwasher are reliably thermally insulated. The dishwasher is quite quiet, producing a sound of 39 dB. At the same time, the combined gas stove is also quite economical: oven - 2 kW, dishwasher - 0.75 kW. Water consumption – 9 liters. The average cost of the model is about $950, the color is white.
Note! Candy TRIO9501W has 4 heating elements, the power of which is 3.5, 2.5, 1.7, 1 kW.
The main advantages of the Candy TRIO9501W model:
- saving space in the kitchen;
- Ease of use;
- high quality dishwashing;
- there is an express wash program that takes 32 minutes;
- saving water and electricity.
The main disadvantages of the Candy TRIO9501W model:
- difficulties in supplying gas, water and electricity;
- complexity of the design, which can lead to breakdown (heating elements are especially vulnerable);
- the dishwasher only holds 6 place settings and the oven only holds one tray, which is quite small for a family of 3;
- The gas hob is not covered with a protective cover, so to avoid a fire, a tiled or metal apron must be placed behind the combination dishwasher.
Candy TRIO9503X.This is a model of a combined electric stove, which includes: an electric hob with 4 burners, an electric oven is placed next to it, and a dishwasher is placed next to the oven. The manufacturer combined all this into a solid, weighty structure. Dimensions of the combined device are 850x600x600 mm (H x W x D). Average cost: $100, silver color.
We will not describe the oven and dishwasher, since their characteristics completely coincide with the characteristics of the Candy TRIO9501W model. We only note that the hob of the combined electric stove is modern glass-ceramic, which means you must follow all the rules for its use, otherwise it will spoil.
Important! Many users are afraid that vibration from a dishwasher running a wash program can negatively affect the operation of the electric stove. These fears are completely unfounded.
Candy TRIO9501X is a combined gas stove with oven and dishwasher. The model includes: a gas hob with 4 burners, an electric oven is placed next to it, and a dishwasher is placed next to the oven. This model differs from Candy TRIO9501W only in color (in this case it is silver) and the presence of a metal protective apron covering the hob.
Also, Candy TRIO9501X has slightly smaller dimensions 850x600x600 mm (H x W x D), the difference in height is only 1.5 cm, but sometimes they can be decisive. The oven and dishwasher have completely identical characteristics to the same elements in the Candy TRIO9501W model. Average price $1020. The Candy TRIO model series has built-in small dishwashers, which have been produced under the Candy brand for quite some time. Review of small dishwashers will help you get to know this technique better.
Consumer reviews of combination dishwashers
Elena Dementieva
Candy TRIO9503X. I am very pleased with this wonderful hybrid of an electric stove and a dishwasher. For about 5 years I was racking my brain on how I could fit all the equipment necessary for a normal life in my kitchenette, I couldn’t come up with anything, but then this appeared. I felt very comfortable and comfortable. I live alone, so I don’t need a big oven or a big dishwasher. Cooking on such a stove is a pleasure and you can immediately bend down and load dirty dishes into the dishwasher - everything is nearby.
Sergey Komolov
I just bought Candy TRIO9501X and it immediately broke down, the dishwasher started running and didn’t work properly for three months. I sent it in for warranty repairs, so the company tortured me for six months, in the end they fixed it and returned it, so far it seems to be working. It turns out that he spent a lot of money on equipment that can easily break, and no one really knows how to repair it. By the way, there is one problem that I mentioned in the repair request, but it was never fixed - the electric ignition works every other time, you have to turn the switch two or three times. For a hundred thousand, the manufacturer could have adjusted it. The result is that I am extremely dissatisfied with the purchase.

Candy TRIO9503X. The electric stove is simply magical, as soon as I saw it in the shopping center, I immediately realized that it must take its rightful place in my new kitchen. And you have an oven, a hob, and a dishwasher, all “in one bottle”, so much free space has appeared. The only thing is, if I were the manufacturer, I would make the oven more spacious by slightly increasing the height of the appliance, but otherwise I’m happy with everything.I give Candy TRIO9503X five points!
In conclusion, we note that dishwashers combined with a gas or electric stove are an innovation on the world market, although the idea itself has existed for quite a long time. On the Russian market you can really only find equipment that is produced under the Kandy brand; other manufacturers are not yet coming to us with such products due to low demand. Not everything is clear yet about the reliability of combined equipment, although a similar situation is typical for everything new.
