Today, the most reliable helpers of each hostess are a washing machine and a refrigerator. The dishwasher for many years was a rare guest in Russian cuisines, but over time the situation radically changed. Today PMM is a necessary and indispensable technique. If you have not tried her work and just think about buying, you will not be hindered by a detailed review of popular models.
This publication is devoted to the selection of a compact and narrow dishwasher - for small kitchens. We will tell you how to choose a dishwasher 45 cm, and explain how it compares favorably with machines of other sizes.
How to choose a dishwasher 45 cm according to specifications
If you go for the first machine caught in the eye - it's like poking your finger in the sky. You can then wonder at the missing or, vice versa, superfluous functions, and buying can significantly spoil the design of your favorite cuisine. To ensure that the dishwasher completely satisfies the requests and becomes a complement to the interior, and not its "black label you need to carefully approach the choice.
Before proceeding, you need your own rating of models, compiled taking into account personal priorities and requests. Experts recommend paying attention to such parameters of the PMM:
- dimensions and technical nuances of connection;
- possibility of embedding;
- configuration and method of placement in the hopper of dish baskets;
- quality of washing;
- functional and list of programs;
- the presence of drying and its possibilities;
- consumption of resources.
Dimensions
Speaking about the size of the dishwasher and placing a bet on the model at 45 cm, it is necessary to recognize that a narrow model is an ideal option for a kitchen of modest size. But you should be aware that the small car capacity is more modest. After a noisy meal it will take several times to start the car wash. It is unprofitable and inconvenient, if parties and holidays are your way of life, and you need to wash dishes in large batches.
Full-featured machines
Much more logical if you look narrowly at the narrow 45-centimeter model with the possibility of embedding. Such built-in equipment can be "hidden" in any modern kitchen set, and no one will guess what is behind the door of the locker. Therefore, make an emphasis on such a model - in a fully integrated PMM there are more advantages: despite the modest performance, it will not spoil the interior.
Connection and power consumption
Connectivity is associated with the power consumption of the device. If it is possible to connect directly to hot water, then the heater will not be used so intensively, and you will pay less for light bills. But this option will increase spending on water, so it's hard to say - why it is better to overpay.
Important! Experts are sure that the optimal connection is to a cold water pipe. This will protect details from the harmful effects of industrial water and will have a beneficial effect on the quality of washing.
Baskets
Picking PMM for the house, boldly consider the baskets - you will have to use them for many years, so they should be quality, durable and comfortable. In modern dishwashers, 45 cm manufacturers have managed to place more than two regular baskets, adding to the design of trays for cutlery and other compartments. The more functional containers and containers, the more convenient.
Washing Quality
Another parameter that requires increased attention of the buyer. At purchase it is impossible to test a new dishwasher. But you can look in the technical documentation, where the wash class is prescribed:
- A - the highest level;
- B - excellent;
- C - good;
- D - above average;
- E - satisfactory.
These letters of the Latin alphabet are assigned to the typewriter during the factory tests, so you can be sure of their plausibility.
Important! When buying a washing machine, pick up models in which the quality of washing is indicated by the letterA,B orC. If you are offered to buy a class carD orE, refuse such a purchase.
Programs
On the wash class, the selection criteria for PMM do not end. You should be interested in the functional - the set of programs proposed by the manufacturer. From the list of dishwasher programs with a width of 45 cm depends on the quality of work. Experts agreed that the modern narrow model should contain such a minimum:
- Basic mode. He has many names, but the main point is that the dishes are washed in hot 60-degree water for several hours (2-3 hours).
- "Super-mode".His idea is that the dishes are washed with the maximum heated water for 90 minutes.
- Soak. In this mode, the dishes become soaked - suitable for plates and appliances that have been standing after use for a long time.
- "Fast".On this program, kitchen utensils and cutlery are perfectly cleaned, and the average time consumed is 40 minutes.
This is a basic set of functions that must necessarily be equipped with a 45 mm deep PMM. Full-featured models run on 10-15 programs, but usually for the daily use of four of these modes.
Drying
It is difficult to incorporate drying into a small 45 cm dishwasher. But some manufacturers succeeded, and they equipped their compact models with useful functionality. The dishes in the car with drying after washing and rinsing remain in the box, where drops of water drain and the plates dry naturally. There are improved, but more energy-intensive models in which convectors are installed, heating and circulating air in the box - so the dishes are dried many times faster.
If you are looking for a more economical option, stop on the natural way of drying dishes.
Costs of water and energy
If you are accustomed to rational use of resources, pay attention to the profitability of the PMM. When will the costs be higher? For example, if the machine has forced drying, which can not be disabled. With water in the same way: the more productive the washer, the more water it uses.
Important! In the latest rulers of dishwashers 45 cm there are unique nozzles that, when sprinkled, save 30% of water, keeping the quality of work at the level.
Now you know about choosing a narrow dishwasher almost everything. It remains to compare the most successful models, and decide - which is better. This will help our rating.

Elena Romanovna, St. Petersburg
Has got CANDY CDP 4609. Of the good can not be said about the quality of washing - otdraivaet even the most dried up pollution. There are also minuses: constantly it is necessary to clean the filter. I do not know how bad this is, but I'm a little annoyed that you need to spend money on special pills - without them, the dishes are washed disgustingly.
Irina Vladimirovna, Sochi
I started to dream of a dishwasher, after hearing the advertisement "You are a woman, not a dishwasher". I firmly decided that I would not spoil my manicure any more, therefore half a year of diligence - and the total amount was accumulated. Consultant in M-Video advised to take BOSCH SPS 40E12 RU. In principle, I'm happy with everyone - I do not even know how I used to wash everything myself! Now after the holidays I put the dishes in the basket, threw a pill, pressed the button, and relaxed. By carelessness, they broke a grate in one basket with her husband, and sometimes some small saucers fall out, but here we ourselves are to blame.
