Economical, spacious and fully built-in: TOP-5 dishwashers 60 cm

The dishwasher, which represents the Serie 2 budget line, has received a number of options inherent in older Bosch models. We are talking about the InfoLight indicator beam projected onto the floor, which informs about the operation of the device, and the ServoSchloss auto-closer, which independently closes the device door if it is ajar by less than 10 degrees.

The Bosch SMV 24AX02 is equipped with an EcoSilence Drive inverter motor. It is more reliable and durable than traditional brushed counterparts, designed to increase overall efficiency and reduce noise. According to user reviews, the motor does not cope with the last task in the best way: the declared 50 dB is even too well audible when the device is operating.

The dishwasher supports the AquaStop system, for which the German manufacturer guarantees protection against leaks for the entire life of the model.

Bosch SMV 24AX02 offers 4 basic washing programs: Intensive (at 70°C), Normal (60°C), Eco (50°C) and Delicate (for glass at 40°C). Additionally, there is an extra-drying function and VarioSpeed, which speeds up the work cycle by 20 - 50%. In the latter case, the quality of cleaning from pollution does not decrease, which is achieved by increasing the consumption of water and electricity.

The dishwasher is equipped with a load sensor, which is responsible for choosing the optimal indicators of resource consumption. In the Eco-programme, water consumption is 11.7 liters, and electricity - 1.02 kW (class A +) per cycle.

The dishwasher is characterized by standard dimensions (82x60x55 cm) and can accommodate 12 place settings. Properly distribute plates and other utensils inside allow two main baskets (the top one is adjustable in height), an additional box for cutlery, as well as guides and shelves for cups and plates.

The Bosch SMV 24AX02 control panel is placed on the upper end of the door. It is devoid of a display, so the settings process is not informative enough. Another drawback of the model is the lack of a start timer. But given the affordable cost of the device and the excellent reputation of the manufacturer, the dishwasher should be considered by anyone who wants to get rid of the routine with dishes in the kitchen.

The built-in dishwasher of the Beko brand differs from most representatives of the middle price segment in support of blow-drying. A special fan contributes to fast and efficient drying of dishes, surpassing the possibilities of air-conditioning technology.

The only feature of such drying is additional noise, but, as noted in the reviews, it does not cause inconvenience. In the process of washing dishes, the device works almost silently (up to 44 dB), for which the inverter motor is responsible. It also provides high energy efficiency: the dishwasher consumes 0.93 kW per cycle, which corresponds to the A ++ class.

The working chamber of Beko DIN 28423 holds 14 sets of dishes. The dishwasher supports 8 programs and 6 temperature settings. Among them there is also an auto programme, in which the cleanliness sensor determines the degree of contamination and selects the appropriate time, temperature and amount of water for washing dishes. Of the other popular modes, it is worth highlighting delicate, fast, economical, everyday and pre-rinsing.

In addition, for most programmes, you can select the half load, fast cycle and extra dry functions.

The dishwasher's control panel is complemented by an informative display and a system of indicators. They simplify the selection of programs and functions, warn of a lack of salt or rinse aid. In the settings, it is easy to set a start delay from half an hour to a day. And an additional clue to the operation of the device is a beam indicatorprojecting a red dot onto the floor until the end of the washing cycle.

The Beko DIN 28423 security system includes overfill protection and forced shutdown of the water intake in the event of leaks in the hose.

Some users attribute the increased salt consumption to the shortcomings of the dishwasher, but this is probably due to excessive water hardness. Otherwise, the model effectively copes with both washing and drying dishes, which makes it one of the most attractive solutions in its price category.

The fully built-in representative of the Hotpoint-Ariston company with the HIO 3C23 index is designed for 14 sets of dishes. This capacity is quite enough for families of 5 - 6 people or those users who often receive guests. Inside there are two main baskets and an additional upper cutlery tray serving as the third loading level.

Hotpoint-Ariston HIO 3C23 offers the user 9 washing programs. In addition to the standard set of Eco, intensive and standard modes, there is a quick 30-minute and night mode, soaking, disinfection (at 65 ° C) and several auto programs, where all operating parameters are set by the purity sensor. Additionally, there is a delay start for a period of 1 to 12 hours.

The 3D Zone Wash half load function is available for normal, intensive and soak programs. Moreover, the user himself indicates the basket in which the contaminated dishes are located. Separately, you can wash both pots by loading them in the lower basket, and cutlery by placing them in the corresponding upper compartment, reducing the consumption of detergents and electricity.

The Hotpoint-Ariston HIO 3C23 dishwasher received an inverter motor. It reduces water consumption (from 9.5 liters per cycle), energy consumption ( class A ++ to 265 kW per year of operation) and noise level in operation (43 dB).

The dishwasher's compact display helps you select the right programme and set the delay timer. True, the screen does not display information about the time until the end of the cycle, so the only hint about the completion of the work is a sound signal.

The model works both with a standard set of detergents (detergent, water softening salt, and rinse aid), and with “tablets”. When loading the latest on the control panel, just click on the appropriate button.

Hotpoint-Ariston HIO 3C23 is an interesting representative of the middle price segment of dishwashers with a large capacity and an abundance of automatic programs.

The Siemens brand dishwasher is equipped with an iQdrive inverter motor, which ensures quiet operation (up to 45 dB) and increased reliability, since the motor is practically not subject to wear.

Siemens SN 636X01 is designed for 13 place settings. In addition to the two traditional VarioFlex baskets, there is an additional VarioDrawer tray for cutlery in the cooking chamber. It also holds espresso cups.

The rackMatic system allows you to adjust the position of the upper main box in three positions. Foldable racks and shelves are provided for the safe placement of plates and cups in the baskets.

The dishwasher supports six washing modes: auto, fast, intensive, eco, glass, pre-rinse. The start of an automatic programme in Siemens SN 636X01 is activated with a single push of a button. The aquaSensor water purity sensor together with the load sensor independently set all operating parameters for decontamination and drying.

In most modes, special options are available: varioSpeed Plus (cycle acceleration), extraDry (additional drying) and intensivZone (for washing heavily and lightly soiled dishes in different baskets at the same time). The start of any programme can be delayed for a period of 1 to 24 hours.

A separate EasyClean programme is provided for cleaning the Siemens SN 636X01 working chamber. The door of the model is equipped with a Servolock automatic door closer. The mechanism allows no effort to close and eliminates damage.

The control panel is equipped with a display. It displays the countdown to the end of the cycle. During operation of the device, a blue infoLight indicator beam is projected onto the floor. At the end of the wash cycle, an audible signal sounds and the beam goes out.

The dishwasher consumes from 9.5 liters of water per cycle and consumes 0.92 kW of electricity (class A ++). Even more economical in terms of the last indicator is the model Siemens SN 636X02 IE - 0.82 kW, but it also costs more.

The Siemens SN 636X01 dishwasher is popular with both buyers and sellers. Due to the abundance of offers for this functional model, it can be purchased at a very attractive price.

The 60 cm wide Electrolux dishwasher is one of the most popular models released in 2017-2018. It is able to wash 13 sets of dishes at a time, while being distinguished by low energy consumption ( class A +++ and 234 kW per year of operation) and economical water consumption (10 liters per cycle).

Thanks to the presence of a water purity sensor, the Electrolux ESL 95360 dishwasher is able to work in automatic mode, minimizing any settings. So, if you set the Auto programme, the device will independently analyze the degree of soiling of the dishes and adjust the temperature, cycle time, water and electricity consumption.

In addition to the automatic programme, 5 alternative modes are offered: fast, eco, intensive, delicate (for glass and crystal), intensive and pre-rinsing.

A quick 30-minute dishwasher programme is designed to save the user's time. It does a good job of cleaning dishes from fresh dirt. The model supports the Time Manager function, which is often found in Electrolux washing machines. At the touch of a button on the control panel, the wash cycle time is reduced by almost 2 times without sacrificing quality, which is achieved by increasing the consumption of water and electricity.

If necessary, you can delay the start of the device for a period of 1 to 24 hours.

To improve the quality of drying and prevent the appearance of streaks on dishes, Electrolux ESL 95360 implements AirDry technology. It is responsible for automatically opening the dishwasher door 10 cm after the end of the washing cycle, thus providing additional natural ventilation.

AirDry operation is not too quiet, which is a drawback of the model, but the process of washing dishes is almost silent (up to 42 dB).

Electrolux ESL 95360 is equipped with an informative display and push-button control with indicators. An audible signal at the end of the cycle complements the Beam-on-Floor beam projected onto the floor below the appliance. If it is lit red, then the programme is still running, and if it is green, the cycle is completed.

Considering the offered set of functions, the price of the dishwasher is quite justified. If you need a more affordable device with support for AirDry technology, then you should pay attention to the younger model Electrolux ESL 95321 LO , but it's not as quiet, economical or functional (it doesn't have a beam and a cleanliness sensor).
