Best 60 cm Built-in Dishwashers with an Open Control Panel

Household appliances from the American brand Whirlpool are presented in the markets of most countries of the world. In the category of built-in dishwashers with a body width of 60 cm and an open control panel, the Whirlpool WBC 3C26 B model is in high demand.

The device belongs to the category of relatively affordable dishwashers for servicing the needs of maintaining sparkling cleanliness of dishes for a family of 3-5 people. During the cycle of work "bath procedures" in the chamber of the machine up to 14 sets of dishes are taken. Washing of the contents is carried out at 3 levels in one of 8 preset programs. A separate line in the software arsenal of the model is the technology "Sixth sense" - automatic selection of the optimal temperature mode and regulation of water supply according to data from aquasensors.

The dishwasher has a special half-load function — the MultiZone mode allows you not only to select a partial load, but also to define a basket for it. The machine design provides its own basket on the third loading level for spoons, forks and knives. The device also supports connection to hot water, which saves resources on heating water. In terms of energy efficiency, the model is marked with the A++ mark.

Among the negative factors, Whirlpool WBC 3C26 B does not remember the last selected program. Fortunately, the open control panel provides quick access to the settings. But only a few direct competitors of the dishwasher in the considered price category can boast of automatic door opening for better drying of dishes (NaturalDry). In this program item, the model is beyond competition.

The extensive product range of the South Korean vendor Samsung includes a full range of household appliances, including built-in dishwashers with an external control panel. A striking example of such a machine is the DW-60M6050SS model.

The dishwasher is designed to wash large volumes of dirty dishes. No joke, "according to the passport" it accepts up to 14 sets of dishes. At all levels, high-quality cleaning of the contents from food residues is ensured, and in the disinfection mode at a water temperature of 70 ° C, hygienic cleanliness of the dishes is achieved. A separate nozzle at the very top level of the working chamber effectively sprays water along the perimeter of the cutlery drawer.

In express mode, the Samsung DW-60M6050SS implements a full cycle of washing and condensation drying of dishes in exactly 1 hour. The model also provides a half-load mode and has a delayed start timer with an interval of up to 24 hours. At the head of the push-button control panel of the machine is a large informative LED screen.b >

To complete the picture, the model lacks only an inverter motor. But even without it, the dishwasher demonstrates unwasteful energy consumption coupled with low noise (44 dB). To prevent mischievous fidgets from interfering with the work, a separate button with a picture of a lock was placed on the dishwasher control panel - the control panel lock is turned on and off by holding it for 3 seconds.

The 300 series representative is an entry-level dishwasher from the Electrolux brand. The model can be classified as a mid-price solution and is recommended for those who want a built-in appliance with an open control panel. One of the key features is the AirDry function, which automatically opens the door at the end of the drying stage to ensure natural air circulation and better removal of residual moisture.

With a width of 60 cm, the Electrolux EES 47300 IX can wash up to 13 sets of dishes at a time. It has a traditional working chamber with two large baskets - without a third loading level for cutlery. The model is characterized by low energy consumption of class D (new), consuming about 84 kWh for 100 washes, has an average water consumption (10 liters at a time) and creates moderate noise in operation - up to 46 dB. The model can be made even more economical by connecting to hot water (up to 60 ° C).

The dishwasher supports 8 programs, including a fully automatic AutoSense cycle. There are also four modes with different washing durations from 30 to 160 minutes, self-cleaning and pre-rinse. The lack of separate programs for glassware and complex stains is compensated by specialized functions - GlassCare and XtraPower, respectively. The ExtraHygiene hygienic treatment option deserves special mention. It eliminates pathogens due to the increased water temperature.

The model's shortcomings include the lack of a safety lock for controls. Otherwise, the Electrolux EES 47300 IX is a balanced choice in terms of price, quality and functionality.

The Bosch SMI 4HAS48E invisible front dishwasher can only be recognized by its open control panel with buttons and a display on a stainless steel base. Otherwise, it skillfully disguises itself to match the design of the kitchen unit.

The machine is designed to accommodate up to 13 sets of dishes. Folding shelves in the lower basket of the device allow you to load large items into the washing chamber, such as pots and pans. The upper drawer of the Bosch SMI 4HAS48E is height-adjustable even when fully loaded - the RackMatic system provides height adjustment at three levels within 5 cm. A separate small basket is provided in the model specifically for spoons, forks and knives.

The heart of the dishwasher is the quiet (44 dB) and energy-efficient EcoSilence Drive inverter drive (energy efficiency class D according to the new gradation). The digital control system of the device allows you to use six automatic programs, turn on the HalfLoad mode, the SpeedPerfect Plus cycle duration reduction function and the ExtraDry extra-drying function. And with the help of "Favorites", your favorite combinations of programs and additional functions can be turned on with one button. For example, combine extra-drying with the Eco 50° C program.

Remote control of the machine is possible via the Home Connect mobile application for the smartphone. The dishwasher sends push notifications to the program, listens to user commands, supports remote start and pause of the cycle. "Smart", quiet, economical in terms of water consumption and energy consumption - the built-in Bosch SMI 4HAS48E machine is a faithful assistant in maintaining sparkling cleanliness of dishes.

When built into kitchen units with a 60 cm wide niche, the Electrolux EEM 69300 IX dishwasher holds a little more dishes than its "classmates". The working chamber of the machine holds 15 sets of dishes at a time.

Such a large capacity is due to the increased space of the lower drawer, flexible height adjustment of the upper basket with the QuickLift mechanism and the presence of a separate slot for MaxiFlex cutlery at the very top level. Water penetrates into all corners of the dishwasher's working chamber thanks to the SatelliteClean spray system, headed by a double FlexiSpray sprayer with a constant change in the spray angle.

The model has 8 pre-installed automatic programs, each of which can be postponed "for later" by setting the delayed start timer. Among them, the ExtraHygiene function stands out, designed for disinfecting dishes. During its operation phase, the temperature in the chamber rises to 69 °C, which guarantees the elimination of the vast majority of microbes and pathogenic bacteria.

The upper basket of the dishwasher features SoftGrip soft handles and SoftSpike supports for gentle holding of fragile glassware. The Electrolux EEM 69300 IX also boasts automatic door opening at the final stages of drying, which ensures better and faster drying of dishes through natural air circulation. Such an advanced dishwasher in the kitchen frees household members from the tedious task of washing dishes by hand and will please you with low energy consumption (class D) with a consumption of 86 kWh per 100 cycles. In addition, the model can be connected to the hot water supply system.
