HOW TO CHOOSE THE DISHWASHER

Question, coma to wash the dishes today, I have destroyed a lot of good and in appearance strong families. The dishwasher will save from need to look for the answer to this difficult question, will improve the atmosphere in the house and will save a lot of time and forces to housewives and the householder.

Installation and sizes

There are separate and in whole or in part embeddable dishwashers.

Embeddable models completely merge with a complete kitchen. To launch such machine, it is necessary to open a door of a kitchen cabinet and to press the button on a control bar. Embeddable models it is normal more expensively.

Partially embeddable dishwashers are also set in a complete kitchen, however a part of their frontal panel remains open that simplifies control of machine.

The machines standing separately don't require difficult installation — they can be placed in any part of kitchen, but also they will look … as dishwashers.

For owners of small-size kitchens vendors offer narrow (no more than 50 cm in width), and compact models (which set on the desktop).

What big overall dimensions the dishwasher possesses, the it is capable to wash more sets of a ware for once. So, a family of two people will be rather narrow or compact model, and from three people and more it will already be required to big families full-size.

Consumption of water and class of energy consumption

Dishwashers spend waters less, than at manual washing of ware. It is especially urgent if in the apartment water counters are installed. Besides, the car uses only cold water from a water supply system which it heats in the course of work.

The most economic cars are that spend to 10 l of water for one cycle. A consumption of water and electricity depend on the chosen program: the less time for washing in the program, the it is less also an expense.

Dishwashers differ on energy consumption classes. Classes A, B and S. Samye effective — A+, A ++ and And +++ are most widespread. Classes from D to G are uneconomical and forbidden to production and import to the countries of the European Union.

Compliance of devices to this or that class is carried out by tests. For dishwashers, smaller by the size, smaller limits of consumption of energy are set. So the device of a class A 60 cm wide consumes more electric power, than the dishwasher of the same class, but 45 cm wide.

Distinguish also a class of washing and a class of drying. The class of washing estimates quality of the washed dishes — respectively, the class is higher (for example, And), the result is better and less time is spent on his achievement. The class of drying estimates quality of this process. Assignment of classes also happens by results of tests. It should be noted that actual quality of washing and drying depends not only on a class, but also on hardness of water, quality of the used detergents and correctness of the chosen mode.

Modes and control

Dishwashers can be with mechanical or electronic control.

Mechanical control assumes existence of the turning switch which needs to be turned for start of the machine. In the course of washing of a ware the switch gradually makes a circle and returns on an initial position.

In models with electronic control there are buttons and the display (in advanced models — sensor) which shows information on the given program and time of its execution.

Usually dishwashers have several programs: for washing of a ware of different impurity, for a ware from different materials, soaking, the economic program allowing to reduce the expenditure of water and so on. The device with standard programs will be suitable for the family which is regularly using a ware from one material. If in the house often there are guests, so, different dishes and drinks are used, it is better to select the machine with a large number of programs.

Many of models are equipped with function of condensation drying of a ware (when moisture, becoming condensate, refluxs on the underpan) or a blowing hot air (this type is also called a turbosushka — the fan heater blowing a ware works here).

Protection against leakages

The modern dishwashers are usually protected from leakages. Protection happens complete and the partial. When the control system of an amount of water finds a leakage, the machine with security blanket activates the drain pump and locks water supply. The partial protection finds leakages only in the casing or in hoses.
