Reviews of built-in dishwashers

The most popular among dishwasher owners are narrow built-in dishwashers with a width of 45 cm. This equipment has many advantages, it is quite spacious, does not take up much space in the kitchen, and generally washes dishes flawlessly. Advertisers constantly tell us about all this. But really, how much narrow 45cm dishwashers are really in demand? We learn about this first-hand, from consumers who own such machines.

Gorenje GV51211

In my opinion, this is a monstrous dishwasher; I constantly regret that I decided to buy this piece of hardware. Here is how it was. I finally saved up for a new kitchen, ordered it, thought through everything down to the smallest detail, every centimeter, but as they say, “I didn’t notice the elephant.” It was necessary to choose a dishwasher of a normal brand, but I went for the size 45 cm. As it turned out later, other manufacturers also have narrow dishwashers and their quality is much higher. What shortcomings did I find in the Gorenje GV51211 dishwasher:

• The powder reservoir is very difficult to open, the lid constantly sticks and gets stuck;
• the plastic seems to be of low quality, as soon as the washing machine heats up during operation, if you select a wash program of 60 ⁰S, and it starts to smell terribly, almost a year has passed, and the smell is still there;
• even if you use expensive powder and rinse aid, after washing in this machine there are still strange white marks left on the dishes, you have to re-rinse;
• The dishwasher does not wash very greasy dishes, I tried to place them differently in both the upper and lower baskets, both with and without instructions, the result was still bad.

Now I tell all my friends and acquaintances not to buy the Gorenje GV51211 dishwasher. I have never seen a worse technique; it’s better to wash dishes by hand.

This dishwasher is narrow 45 cm, holds 9 sets of dishes, it’s enough for me alone, so I didn’t even think about a machine 60 cm wide. The noise is annoying, but for this I am deducting one point from the model; the manufacturer could have tried to do better sound insulation. At first I didn’t know how to handle it at all, neither to arrange the dishes correctly, nor to choose a mode, but now I’ve adapted, I arrange all the items correctly and get good results. I especially like washing plastic food containers - the result is perfectly clean. For my taste, the dishwasher is good in size (45 cm) and design, but at the same time it is difficult to use and a bit noisy. I give it a low rating - 3.5 points out of 5.

This is what they call “cheap and cheerful”! This is simply a great built-in dishwasher that is worth every penny you pay for it. From “communicating” with her, only positive emotions remain: loading the dishes is easy, the dishes are washed paradoxically well, I even tried washing them without powder - the result is positive. Previously, I had a standard 60 cm machine from Electrolux, but its cleaning quality was much lower. The controls are intuitive and convenient and the assembly is excellent, 1.5 years of no malfunctions. Now I’m writing positive reviews about it everywhere, I’m very grateful to the manufacturer. Rating 5.

I didn’t really choose a dishwasher, I needed it and bought it. I have a niche in the new kitchen of 48 cm, only a narrow dishwasher fits, in the store I walked past the 60 cm machines, pointed my finger at the first 45 cm that came to hand, it turned out to be Bosch SPV30E40RU, I took it.I can’t say anything bad, I don’t use it often, but it has never let me down.

She has a cool washing program lasting 29 minutes, load the dishes, set the quick wash and behold, there is a mountain of clean dishes in front of you! The model deserves high praise.

BOSCH SPV40E40RU

My husband chose the dishwasher; he needed a machine up to 45 cm; 60 cm was not considered. After reading reviews on the Internet, we settled on Bosch. Although the machine is designed for 9 sets, it suits us. My husband connected it, but the furniture makers installed it. As for the washing machine itself, I will list all its advantages, and there are quite a few:

• No installation problems.
• Many different modes, including economical and intensive for dirty pans.
• There is a delay start up to 9 hours, but I didn’t have to use it, since I load the dishes in the evening and take out clean ones in the morning.
• I use a half load if there are not enough dishes, it’s very convenient and less washing up liquid is required.
• Convenient controls and clear instructions, everything is described on how to place dishes in the baskets.
• You can stop the program or drying, add something, close the door, and the machine will continue its work itself.
• Convenient volume-adjustable end-of-wash signal.
• The dishes are washed perfectly, the main thing is to set the desired mode and choose a good detergent.
• The child will not be able to open the washing machine during operation.
• Cleaning the filters and maintaining the unit is easy.

There is one minus - the washing machine is noisy, but this does not bother anyone. Therefore, I am pleased with the purchase. I think it's worth the money spent on it.

The impression after the purchase was excellent. But after the euphoria passed, we noticed that the dishes were not washed and smelled unpleasant. The advantage of this model is the number of programs, there is a quick wash.The price is too high for this quality of washing. The dishes have to be washed, they expected better from Bosch.

I bought a dishwasher from a well-known German brand a month ago and was pleased with it. Clear and illustrated instructions. Most often I use the main program, which washes dishes at 65 degrees. Almost everything is washed off, except scale from soup on pots and tea stains. We start the washing machine every other day, enough for a family of 3 people. I run the machine at night so that I can get dry and clean dishes in the morning. If the product is good, then the dishes really shine, there’s nothing to complain about. The dishwasher did not disappoint; I had more time to watch TV.

The silent and reliable built-in dishwasher from Bosch cleans dishes efficiently. There are no problems with the installation, I did it myself. I start the washing machine at night, set the normal washing program to 60 degrees, the signal at the end of the program is almost inaudible, I didn’t find any point in delaying the start. But there is a minus in this model - the dishes do not dry out, water remains on the dishes. But after a series of experiments, I discovered that if you take the dishes out immediately, they are dry, but if you wait until they cool down, condensation collects on them, so they become wet.

Hansa ZIM 446 EH

So I decided to write my review about the Hansa ZIM446EH dishwasher. I hate washing dishes by hand, so we got a built-in dishwasher immediately after purchasing our new home. They only wanted a built-in machine, but 60 or 45 cm took a long time to determine. In the end, they decided 45 cm for a family of 3 people is enough, 60 is useless.And we chose the company by reading reviews in Yandex Market, we realized that there was no better Bosch, but its price was not for our budget, so we bought Hansa.

Good reviews of Hansa dishwashers can be seen on the Eldorado website. And in fact, I was not disappointed in the purchase. The machine washes everything very clean, I couldn’t do it with my hands, everything just shines. We need to erect a monument to the one who once invented the dishwasher.

After the birth of the child, it was decided to buy a dishwasher. She really does save. We only needed a narrow model of 45 cm, since the kitchen is small. The first thing we noticed was the low water consumption. The machine has 3 baskets, but the bottom one has a defect; the manufacturer clearly did not foresee that if you place a tall pan on the left, the tablet compartment will not open. Most often we use the daily regimen, which lasts about 2.5 hours at a temperature of about 60 degrees. The short mode does not rinse out the detergent well.

As for drying, it’s as if it doesn’t exist. Basically all the dishes remain wet, except for flat plates. We accumulate dishes, but it is better not to put them in the machine, as an unpleasant smell may appear. The downside of the machine is that it makes a lot of noise, the pump even rumbles. But, despite this, we are happy with the equipment, because it copes well with the task of washing dishes, and it fits quite a lot of dishes.

A good and inexpensive built-in dishwasher with a width of only 45 cm, albeit made in China, I was initially looking for a full-size 60 cm, but settled on this one. I liked that there was a display and beautiful lighting. At first, the washing machine smelled like plastic, but now the smell appears only during prolonged use and at high temperatures. It makes a lot of noise when draining.And if you put a lot of dishes in the second basket, the spoons and forks will not be washed. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

In conclusion, we note that reviews of built-in dishwashers are not in all cases positive, but if you consider that people buy them in large quantities, the result can be considered very high. Choose your brand and model carefully and you won’t regret it.
