Review of dishwashers for 12 sets

Most often in the homes of modern citizens you can find dishwashers for 12 sets of dishes. This is a full-size appliance that can wash all the dishes that have formed after a noisy feast in one go. It is precisely because this technique, in any case, will not force you to wash dishes by hand, that housewives love it. We decided to dedicate today's article to these wonderful dishwashers. The lion's share of the publication will be taken up by a review of the most popular 12-set machines, don't miss it!

Advantages of full-size models

The market today is oversaturated with dishwashing appliances. The consumer's eyes literally run wild from the abundance of models from various manufacturers. The machines differ from each other in functionality and quality, but consumers often pay attention to equipment whose baskets can hold 12 sets of dishes, why?

1. The full-size machine is capable of washing dishes of different sizes. Of course you can buydishwasher for 4 sets dishes, but what's the use of them? You can’t wash a baking sheet in it, nor can you wash a large saucepan, and if you have a lot of plates accumulated, you’ll have to wash it in 2-3 steps. This is unacceptable in terms of time, water and detergents.
2. A larger machine saves resources better. The average water consumption of a machine for 4 sets is 11 liters, although there are models that spend 13 and even 15 liters. Among full-size washing machines, there are specimens that spend only 8.5 - 9 liters. Not only does she wash three times more dishes, but she also uses less water.
3. Full-size machines wash dishes best. Although narrow models are “climbing on their heels,” they still fall a little short of the level of standard models.You don’t even have to think about compact and miniature dishwasher models; they clean worse.
4. All advanced dishwashing technologies are first introduced into full-size models, and only then into all others.

VarioSpeed ​​technologies, floor beam and others, appeared for the first time in standard dishwashers.

This leads to an obvious conclusion: large dishwashers, although they rarely cost more than narrow models, are much more functional and economical. If the size of the kitchen allows the buyer, he will invariably choose a standard dishwasher.

Bosch Serie 6 SMS 40L08

One of the most popular freestanding full-size dishwashers. Now it is actively being replaced by embedded competitors, but it is still at its best. It has a display, excellent, intuitive electronic controls, and it also washes dishes perfectly. In the middle price category, it has no equal in this parameter. To wash a basket full of dishes, she needs 12 liters of water - 1 liter per set. For comparison: miniature washing machines spend more than 3 liters of water on 1 set.

Users note perfect protection from the intervention of small children, a limited loading mode for baskets, and very well selected washing modes. For those who start washing dishes at night, there is a useful mode that allows you to delay the start of the program for a long time, if necessary, up to a day. Bosch Serie 6 SMS 40L08 is completely protected from the risk of water leakage; not only the machine itself is protected, but also its hoses. A special sensor helps keep the water perfectly clean, and a special anti-fingerprint coating keeps the body clean. You can “paw” the body as much as you like, but there will be no traces left on it.

If the machine suddenly runs out of rinse aid, and possibly salt, special lights will flash and prompt the user that it is time to replenish the supply. Are you used to using convenient 3-in-1 tablets? Well, this model recognizes them perfectly and completely dissolves them. Baskets are very convenient because their internal space is transformable and they can be moved in height. If you wash a lot of large dishes, some baskets can be rolled out and put aside for a while.

Kuppersberg GLA 689

The basket capacity of this machine is exactly the same as that of the Bosch Serie 6 SMS 40L08, but it’s impossible to say that they are similar. The Kuppersberg GLA 689 also has a display, but it is located not on the front wall of the case, but on the end of the door. The machine runs quieter than the Bosch, but it also spends 1 liter more water - 13 liters. It has as many as 8 washing programs and as many as 7 temperature control modes. This allows you to fine-tune the washing mode before starting.

There is protection against water leakage and it is complete, although some experts have complaints about the sensitivity of the leakage sensor, which is located in the pan. The machine accepts any tablets and capsules; in any of the numerous programs it dissolves them 100%. Kuppersberg GLA 689 has a tray for spoons/forks and a holder for glasses, the inner chamber is made of stainless steel, and the baskets can be adjusted in height.

The intensive dishwashing program of the Kuppersberg GLA 689 machine copes with the most serious stains.

Indesit DIF 14

Budget, but far from bad, the Indesit DIF 14 dishwasher has earned the trust of a significant number of customers. Its washing chamber can accommodate dishes for 12 people, just like the models described above, but it costs an order of magnitude less.The current price of the model is about $315. It washes dishes well, although it has only 3 automatic programs in its memory and no display. In our opinion, the display would only harm this machine, since operating it is as easy as shelling pears.

This model is not suitable for lovers of silence, since during operation it is capable of producing noise of up to 53 dB. The machine is not very well protected from water leaks. There is a special sensor only in the housing, although it works well. Tests have shown that out of 10 cases of sensor activation, only 1 case is idle. The machine's baskets are height adjustable, and the plate holders are foldable.

Hansa ZIM 615 H

Among the dishwashers presented in our review, this is a real star. At an absolutely amazing price of $265, the machine has impressive dishwashing performance. She did not yield, and in some cases outperformed premium dishwashers, completely washing a monstrously grease-contaminated baking sheet and duckling pan.

The Hansa ZIM 615 H machine is quite simple. It does not have a display, but it does have a system of indicators that will tell the user what is currently happening with the dishwasher. It does not have a mode for incomplete loading of baskets, but it is quiet and consumes only 8.5 liters of water. Our craftsmen were very impressed. Such low resource costs and such high results are rare.

The control module's memory contains only 5 automatic programs, but this is enough for everyday use. The machine is completely protected from leakage, and it can beep when the dishes are drying. Hansa ZIM 615 H has a minimum of sensors and sensors; it does not even recognize 3-in-1 tablets. This is, of course, a drawback, but a small drawback, especially for such a price.

Neff S513G40X0R

Finally, we got to the most expensive dishwasher in our review today, Neff S513G40X0R. Its cost is close to $740. What will buyers get for this not-so-modest money?

1. High quality assembly from the best parts.
2. State-of-the-art electronic controls and display.
3. A powerful instantaneous water heater that allows you to quickly heat water to a certain temperature.
4. Average noise level during operation.
5. Low water consumption - about 12 liters.
6. 4 washing programs and partial load mode.
7. The best protection against water leaks.
8. Possibility to delay the start of the washing program for up to 24 hours.
9. An indicator that projects a beam onto the floor.
10. Special box for tablets 3 in 1, 5 in 1, 7 in 1.
11. Melody at the end of the wash.
12. Economical and durable EcoSilence Drive engine.
13. A sensor that determines the number of dishes in the baskets.
14. A nozzle for washing baking sheets and a special holder for glasses.

We have not yet considered adjustable baskets, special sprinklers and various useful indicators. The machine is worth its money and will work out its life without problems, and it can work for a long time - 10-15 years without any problems!

So, we have presented several interesting dishwashers in our review. We do not encourage you to buy them, and certainly we do not advertise. Our goal is to expand your horizons regarding standard household dishwashers and we hope we succeeded. Good luck!
