Reviews of small dishwashers

Until recently, there were very few small dishwashers on the market. Only a few companies were willing to manufacture them, but now the range of this equipment has expanded significantly. Does this mean that small dishwashers are wildly popular among users or are such conclusions premature? The smartest thing to do is try to answer this question by reading customer reviews, which we will do together with you.

Flavia CI 55 Havana

Vitaly, Moscow

Not much can fit in a small kitchen. It's inconvenient to cook or eat there. After renovations and careful planning of the space, we managed to carve out some space for furniture and household appliances, but the room became even cramped. About 8 months ago my wife wanted to buy a dishwasher. We went shopping, but it turned out that we could only nail a full-size and even a narrow dishwasher to the ceiling. It's too much for our cluttered kitchen. The seller came to the rescue and offered the Flavia CI 55 Havana dishwasher. It’s good that we didn’t leave then and listened to him.

1. The machine fits in the sink, taking up very little space under the sink. Its dimensions W x D x H are 55 x 50 x 44 cm.
2. It includes all the dirty dishes that my wife and I accumulate during the day. Only in rare cases does it not include one or two items that are washed by hand.
3. The machine is distinguished by high quality washing. A lot of time has passed, and there have been almost no misfires.

The machine washes cleanly and does not leave chemical traces from detergents on the dishes.

4. At the end of the wash, a beep sounds, which is very convenient.
5. There is protection against leaks and a daily start delay.
6. You can use 3 in 1, 5 in 1 and others tablets.
7. You can even wash fragile dishes in it, as there is a holder for glasses.

This dishwasher is a little noisy, but it saves water quite well. When I wash dishes with my hands, I pour out a lot of water because the tap is open all the time. In the dishwasher, water is used strictly in doses, which gives 1.5 cubic meters of net savings per month. If you have the same situation and there is nowhere to put a large dishwasher, you should pay attention to a compact model, although this is a matter of taste.

After the birth of the child, this machine became virtually useless. We bought it a year ago, and we were quite happy with it. But when all these endless bottles and children's toys appeared, I chose to sell it. Now we have a full size dishwasher Korting KDI 60165, which can easily accommodate all the accumulated dishes. Flavia CI 55 Havana was not bad, but if you have a small child in the family, size is critical.

Polina, St. Petersburg

A very nice machine that can be placed on a table, on a cabinet, or, in my case, hung on the wall using special corners. The fact is that our microwave was already hung on the wall just under the cupboard, and there was still enough space left on the wall next to it. There was nowhere to put it, so the solution was obvious.

Flavia CI 55 Havana has never let me down in a year. It cleans well, but its capacity is small, nothing can be done about it. The washing programs are also very long, so when there are several plates and spoons piling up, I prefer to wash everything by hand, it’s faster. I don’t have any particular complaints about this machine, but I would still recommend buying a larger size machine.This will be more correct, especially when space allows.

Midea MCFD-0606

Svetlana, Ekaterinburg

The machine does not dry well, but the washing quality is quite acceptable. Cleans even heavily soiled dishes well in 120 minutes. I recently burned a frying pan, soaked it in boiling water with detergent, and then washed it in the dishwasher. And that’s it, the frying pan is like new. I have been using the dishwasher for a year and a half and I think that during this time it has proven its quality.

Evgeniy, St. Petersburg

We have all the dishes in different sizes, and we also have custom plates from IKEA. Putting all this into the Midea MCFD-0606 baskets is problematic. You have to come up with all sorts of tricks. I conducted an experiment a couple of times, washing a batch of dishes by hand while my wife was busy with the second batch, putting it in the dishwasher. It turned out like this: I was already lying on the sofa watching TV, having managed to wash and wipe everything, and my wife was still fiddling with the equipment. I think I’ll sell this machine through an advertisement site and at least get some money back.

Irina, Perm

We bought Midea MCFD-0606 four months ago in a store. My husband doesn’t care, but I really regret wasting money, and all because I regretted the place. The truth is that you need to take either the largest machine, or none at all, since a compact model is of no use. I don't recommend it!

Korting KDF 2050 W

Stanislav, Moscow

I now live alone and work a lot, so I don’t have time for kitchen life. I would like to have a little time in the evening to simply lie down on the sofa, and not stand at the kitchen sink washing dishes and pots. There was an idea at home to stop cooking altogether and eat only in cafes, but in the evening I didn’t feel like leaving the house, and I really didn’t want to eat anything, in general, that wasn’t an option. A compromise was found quickly; I bought a Korting KDF 2050 W dishwasher.It is very small and inexpensive, and connects very quickly. Now I don’t need to wash the dishes, which I’m very happy about.

The machine is quiet, holds 6 sets of dishes, but it is advisable to use standard plates and cups. As for the pots, they don’t fit in the dishwasher. I specifically bought two small saucepans so that they fit perfectly in the baskets. Now there are no problems, I’m already used to using this technique.

If you take a compact dishwasher, then the set of dishes will have to be updated, without this there is no way.

Stepan, Smolensk

This machine was made haphazardly. The electronics burned out due to a hidden manufacturing defect. Repairs are very expensive and the warranty has expired. You have no idea how disappointed I am. Out of anger, I threw the washing machine into the garage and don’t want to see it again, it’s better to wash the dishes by hand.

Marina, Vladikavkaz

Korting KDF 2050 W is a very useful household appliance. It works well, washes dishes clean, but it doesn't hold much. The baskets are made very flimsily, and they are uncomfortable, you need to get used to them. Now I have adapted and manage to wash even a large pan in the machine, but I would prefer a larger dishwasher.

Ginzzu DC261

Daria, Tula

A very inexpensive Chinese dishwasher that does its job perfectly. You shouldn't expect much from it, because it is a compact model, but for its level the work is good. Handles dishes carefully; in some dishwashers, vibration destroys fragile dishes, but the Ginzzu DC261 does not do this. The express program washes almost everything, which is great.

Oleg, Ivanovo

I ordered this machine at a good price directly from China. The equipment arrived in excellent condition, washes normally, the only drawback is a strange sound during washing, I don’t understand where it comes from, it’s a little annoying.But the size of the machine was perfect for me; it is a good tabletop option for a small kitchen. Glad I bought it!

Ivan, Novosibirsk

The technology may be Chinese, but it is very decent. “Takes” any detergent, including sophisticated 5-in-1 and 7-in-1 tablets. There are few dishes included, but they are washed perfectly. Condensation drying does not work well. If the manufacturer had thought to install a turbo dryer, the model would have been much more functional. It would also be necessary to delay the start, but before going to bed you have to go to the machine and turn it on to wash it overnight. Sometimes I forget to do this, and in the morning the dirty dishes already begin to stink. Not a bad machine, deserves 4 points!
