Rating of built-in dishwashers 60 cm
A housewife's dream is a reliable dishwasher, thanks to which you can save a lot of time for pleasant activities and relaxation. If you decide to purchase a built-in dishwasher with a width of 60 cm, then you should not rush to purchase it. There are a lot of models of such miracle technology; you should first study the ratings of the best of them in order to choose the one that optimally combines the criteria of reliability, functionality and price.
Evaluation criteria
To rank dishwashers and choose the best one, you need to compare the equipment according to many characteristics. Very often, in terms of some characteristics, a washing machine can be in first place, but in others it can’t even reach third place. There is no perfect technology, but even an experienced user can find the best option among the variety of models. Before moving on to the top best dishwashers, we list the criteria by which we evaluated dishwashers:
- the quality of washing - perhaps this is the most important thing - is why you buy a dishwasher. If it doesn’t wash the dishes, then you will definitely be disappointed in your purchase. The quality of washing can be judged by two indicators: washing class and drying class, as well as by real user reviews.
Let's celebrate! The highest washing class is A, drying class is also A.
- reliability – this criterion can be called complex, since reliability is judged by different indicators. Reliable machine models have dish baskets made of stainless steel rather than plastic. The tank of the washing machine must also be metal. The presence of the Aqua Stop system, which is triggered when water leaks, is another point in favor of reliability. A reliable machine is equipped with protection against leaks. In addition, reliability can be judged by user requests to service centers and thematic forums.
- price is a subjective criterion, some people want to buy reliable equipment at minimal cost, others do not pay attention to the price. When compiling the rating, our experts took into account dishwashers costing no more than $800.
For your information! Price is not always an indicator of reliability; even expensive built-in machine models can break down.
- functionality - according to this criterion, dishwashers can be divided into 2 groups: standard with a minimum required set of programs and advanced with a large number of programs and additional functions. Here it is important to take into account the need for these programs, because if you do not use this or that function, is it worth overpaying for it?
What characteristics are important for consumers
Sales statistics from various online stores show that there are certain dishwasher indicators that are paramount for consumers. As it turned out, it is important for the buyer:
- the presence of a salt indicator and a rinse aid indicator; those who bought a dishwasher without such sensors experience inconvenience about when to add and top up the detergent;
- the presence of protection against leaks; without such a function, dishwashers sell worse, since users do not want to pay for repairs to their neighbors in the event of a flood;
- the presence of a delay start timer, which allows you to wash dishes at night with reduced electricity tariffs;
- the presence of a compartment for tablets 3 in 1, today this is the most popular detergent, put one tablet and you don’t have to think about how much powder to pour in, how much rinse aid to pour in, etc.
- the presence of a sound or light indicator of the end of washing.
Then the fun begins!
