Review of built-in dishwashers 40 cm

When there was a boom in dishwasher production in Europe, the Soviet Union did not know about home dishwashers at all. But today, in an effort to get rid of “kitchen slavery,” people are looking for, in their opinion, the best, most reliable models that could easily fit into the limited space of small kitchens. That is why the built-in dishwasher with a width of 40-45 cm has become the most popular, and that’s what we’ll talk about.

Advantages of narrow built-in machines

Before listing the advantages of narrow dishwashers, I would like to bring some buyers down to earth. According to Yandex statistics, many people are looking for a dishwasher with a width of 40 cm. Apparently, everything is so bad in their kitchen that they only managed to free up an unfortunate 40 cm. But let's be realistic, what will be the width of the basket for dishes in the dishwasher if it external width 40? The walls of the body are also thick. In general, there are simply no such dishwashers with a width of 40 cm and front loading, at least in the Russian markets for sure.

Interesting! There is a dishwasher that measures 40.4 cm wide, 53.5 cm high and 52 cm deep, the Ardo ME 5661 fully integrated top-loading machine, but it has been out of stock for a long time. One of a kind.

So, the smallest built-in dishwasher has a width of 44.5 cm, but most often the width is 45 cm. Compared to full-size models, they are 15 cm narrower. And this gives them the following advantages:

• such a dishwasher can be installed even in a small kitchen if you organize the space correctly;
• the capacity does not exceed 11 sets, more often there are machines with a load of 9 sets, and this is quite enough for a family of 3-5 people, there is no need to accumulate dishes;
• the narrow built-in model costs a little less than the full-size one.

Disadvantages of narrow dishwashers

However, narrow dishwashers have several disadvantages that cannot be identified at first glance. That is why those who already use them talk about the disadvantages of such machines. What should you think about before buying a 45 cm built-in dishwasher?

• Imagine all your dishes, what shape of cups, plates, mugs you use every day. It is possible that you do not use soup bowls; instead, you prefer deep bowls, which will take up more space in the car, since it is difficult to place them sideways. Hence the conclusion that when loading 9 sets, you will actually only have enough dishes for 4 people. Otherwise, you will have to change the dishes, and this will be an additional cost.
• Also compare the dimensions of the pans and pots with the dimensions of the dishwasher tank. Very often, users say that they do not fit.
• Another disadvantage of narrow models is functionality. As a rule, full-size models have more features and additional functions. However, these functions are not important for everyone; some do not use them at all.

As you can see, built-in dishwashers have both pros and cons. You need to carefully weigh everything in relation to your needs, and not the opinions of strangers, and then the choice will be conscious and successful.

Popular models: review

And by tradition, we will give several examples of models of narrow built-in dishwashers.

BOSCH SPV 40 E40RU is the best-selling dishwasher of 2013 according to Eldorado statistics.With compact dimensions, this machine will efficiently wash dishes for 9 people, doing it quite quietly due to multi-stage sound insulation. You can turn on the machine at any convenient time, since it has a built-in delay start timer. The machine is equipped heat exchanger, which makes it possible to wash dishes made of delicate materials without negative consequences and enjoy dry dishes at the end.

Bosch SPV58M50RU is another well-selling German-assembled model. The baskets in this machine are quite mobile, since they can be adjusted in height and also have folding elements. The container for cutlery is made in the form of a separate retractable tray, and not in the form of a basket, which is also very convenient. The complete protection system makes it safe from leaks and small children. In addition, the model is equipped with a ServoSchloss lock, which gives an alarm if the door is not tightly closed. In general, this built-in dishwasher is excellent in terms of technical characteristics, but compared to the previous model it costs 2 times more, about $500.

Siemens SR 65M035 is a dishwasher built into furniture that combines optimal price and quality. Load up to 9 sets of dishes, while water consumption is only 8 liters, plus machines with reduced energy consumption and noise levels. Thanks to the VarioSpeed ​​Plus function, there is an accelerated wash mode, and there is also a night mode. The “trick” of this model is the presence of lighting inside the camera. In general, German quality at an affordable price, only $370.

Korting KDI 4575 - this dishwasher, although made in China, has positive reviews. In terms of technical characteristics, it is not inferior to the “German” ones, because it launders 10 sets using one of six programs. Aqua Control protection will provide only partial protection against leaks, this is a minus. But this built-in machine is equipped with a turbo dryer. There are indicators for the end of detergents, a sound signal for the completion of washing, and illumination of the tank. And for such a package you need to pay $310.

In conclusion, we note that there are the most models of built-in narrow dishwashers, because they are in great demand. We have considered only those that fall into the average price category. But there are also narrow premium models equipped with the latest technologies, the price of which is 70 thousand and above. And remember that the width of any of them is not less than 44.5 cm.
