Squeaky cleanliness: TOP 5 narrow dishwashers 45 cm wide

Despite the narrow form factor, the working chamber of the dishwasher from the Turkish brand Beko fits 10 standard sets of dishes, which are washed and dried according to class A.

A similar score, but with a “plus”, was assigned to the model for economical energy consumption — only 0.83 kW per wash cycle. At the same time, more water will be used up than that of direct rivals, but still not so much (13 L). After all, if you wash the same amount of dishes by hand, the water consumption will be 3-4 times higher.

The user is prompted to use the 5-position rotary switch to select the required programme. The regular wash is accompanied by an accelerated, energy-saving, intensive modes and a delicate glassware washing programme. Also on the control panel there is a trinity of mechanical keys: start / pause, activation of the half load mode and a delay start timer for 3, 6 or 9 hours.

In the event of a malfunction in the operation of the dishwasher, the possibility of water leakage is eliminated by the proprietary WaterSafe system. Accordingly, Beko DFS 05010 can be safely placed in an apartment without worrying about the flooding of neighbors from below if the machine breaks down. A weighty argument in favor of the model is also a democratic price tag — its purchase will not empty the family low-cost and will save the household a lot of time, effort and resources for washing dishes.

The unpretentious "workhorse" Candy CDP 2L952 does not particularly stand out against the background of its peers with some branded "chips". A dishwasher with a body width of 45 cm simply and without unnecessary pathos fulfills the obligations placed on its shoulders to keep the kitchen utensils clean.

The capacity of the working chamber of the model is estimated by the ability to load up to 9 sets of dishes. This figure does not include pots and other utensils that do not fall into the category of plates, cups and cutlery. Also large-sized dishes are placed in the dishwasher(for example, goose), which is achieved due to the support for adjusting the height of the upper basket.

In standard mode, the washing cycle lasts about 3 hours at a temperature of 55°C. Water consumption in this case is approximately 13 liters. The ECO mode is designed to help save on spending on water and electricity: it takes almost 3.5 hours in time, but only 9 liters of water will be used in this programme, and electricity — 0.69 kW. The intensive washing mode at a temperature of 60 °C helps to cope with the most severe pollution. Also among the programs on board the model there is a quick wash in 30 minutes. and pre-rinse mode.

The Candy CDP 2L952 arsenal has sensors for monitoring the presence of rinse aid and salt, a delay start timer for 3, 6 or 9 hours, as well as a mandatory attribute of any modern dishwasher — the AquaStop system, which protects against water leaks. It will be possible to present a claim to the model only for a higher noise level than most of the "classmates" (55 dB). Otherwise, the dishwashing machine is an optimally balanced option for purchasing for home cooking in terms of price / quality ratio.

The German brand Hansa is famous not only for stoves and hobs — dishwashers, although they are not the main specialization of the company, should not be discounted. This is clearly seen on the example of the Hansa ZWM-416 model.

A freestanding dishwasher in a classic white "clothes" fits in with most modern kitchens. At one time, "bath procedures" in its working chamber accepts up to 9 sets of dishes. This figure is very conditional, since it describes only plates, mugs and cutlery. In the lower basket, you can also place bulky containers (for example, a large pot or tureen), for which the plate holders in it are made folding.

The model has 6 wash programs, including delicate washing mode for fragile dishes at a temperature of 40 °C. Containers and containers made of glass are washed in this mode to a sparkling shine. Other programs are typical for the type of dishwasher and are represented by intensive washing, daily, economical, pre-rinsing, as well as express mode. However the last programme cannot be called fast, because. its duration is 60 minutes.

As a bonus, the Hansa ZWM-416 comes with a half load mode, an indication of the presence of rinse aid and salt, and an audible notification of the end of the cycle. In addition, the model deserves praise for its economical consumption of water and electricity(9 liters and 0.69 kW at a time, respectively). Dishwasher owners will be pleasantly surprised by the receipts for water and light, especially in the first month after installing it in the kitchen. Based on the combination of characteristics, the brainchild of Hansa can be ranked among the strongest "players" in the middle segment of narrow dishwashers.

Dishwasher of Slovenian origin Gorenje GS52010W belongs to the family of narrow solutions that are suitable for installation in conditions of lack of free space in the kitchen. The required amount of dishes for a full load of the machine in a house where a family of 3-4 people lives accumulates in about a day.

However, it is not at all necessary to wait for the accumulation of a mountain of dirty dishes to start the dishwasher, since the model has a half load mode. It allows you to reduce the consumption of water and detergent, focus on a reduced amount of dishes. As a result, the already economical water consumption (about 9 liters per cycle) can be cut even more. The number "9" also appears in the capacity of the dishwasher — it expresses the maximum number of sets of dishes that the model can take on board in one sitting.

5 standard washing programs are sewn into the Gorenje GS52010W electronic “brain” : intensive for heavily soiled dishes, daily — the most common, economy for washing not very dirty dishes, quick wash mode and pre-soak. The choice of the desired programme is carried out using mechanical keys on the control panel, which is built into the upper end of the door (access to the panel opens when it is opened).

Of the additional utilities put into service with the model, close attention is paid to the possibility of connecting the machine to a hot water supply system in order to avoid the need to heat water in the device itself and the filter self-cleaning functionaimed at eliminating their clogging with food particles. Of course, not without the AquaStop system to protect against water leaks and prevent possible damage to property. The final chord is low energy consumption (only 193 kW per year), thanks to which the dishwasher has been awarded a high A ++ energy efficiency class for good reason.

The dishwasher from the guru of household appliances Bosch is a high-class product that combines traditional German brand quality, reliability and a developed level of functionality.

"Under the hood" the model has a quiet (44 dB) and economical (188 kW / year) inverter motor. It consumes so negligibly little electricity and water that the Bosch SPS 69T88 is deservedly ranked among the devices of the highest energy efficiency class A +++. Judge for yourself, for a washing cycle, water consumption rarely exceeds 10 liters. At the same time, the capacity of the dishwasher corresponds to the ability to place up to 10 sets of dishes in its working chamber.

The choice of the washing programme, of which there are 6 in the arsenal of the model, is carried out by pressing the corresponding key on the control panel. In its centre is a small digital display that serves to display the time until the end of the programme. It also sets the delay start timer (ranging from 1 to 24 hours).

Standard dishwashing programs can be supplemented with branded features for more efficient results. So, for a thorough washing of dishes in the lower basket, the IntensiveZone option is used. Reduced cycle times without sacrificing cleaning performance are achieved with the VarioSpeed Plus function. The HalfLoad mode provides the possibility of half loading the dishwasher, and HygienePlus is aimed at disinfecting the dishes. Also on guard of the cleanliness of cups and saucers in the upper basket is a tandem of two DuoPower wave-shaped yokes. Thanks to them, water penetrates into all corners of the upper basket.

A deterrent from a momentary trip to the store for a dishwasher is its high cost. Nevertheless, a one-time overpayment at the start allows you to save on electricity and water bills in the future, because equal models in terms of economical resource consumption can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
