When planning the kitchen it is important to calculate everything to every square centimeter so that the furniture and interior items are in place. It happens that the layout of the premises has been thought out for a long time, and household appliances appear after the arrangement of the interior and the purchase of a kitchen set. To correctly enter the dishwasher, it is worth knowing its parameters. When installing, you will need a feature such as the depth of the dishwasher. We will devote our review to this issue.
Whether there are superficial PMMs
Why measure the dishwasher, if it is easier to provide in advance a niche with a margin of up to 15 cm in the furniture so that the machine will stand up and all communications fit? It is important that the size of the niches correspond to both width and height, and it is also unreasonable to leave a large stock, otherwise there will appear unaesthetic cracks.
It is necessary to calculate the technical aspects in advance. Suppose you have already purchased a machine 55 cm deep. What to consider:
- Set the basic depth to 55 cm.
- Add a place for hoses and other communications - 10 cm.
- Add 5 cm for the front. It will be 70 cm.
But what should we do when the niche for the dishwasher is less than 70 cm? You can act on one of the scenarios:
- Reduce the calculated value by 5 cm, align the hoses.
- Find another place to install PMM.
- Choose another model.
If the purchase is not yet done, stop at the last option and find a dishwasher with smaller dimensions. To date, the home appliance market offers dishwashers not only 55 cm deep, but also 50 cm deep. Also, you can often meet buyers who are looking for very shallow machines: 45 or 40 cm. Are there any PMMs?
Having made a small analysis of the assortment of the largest Internet shops in Russia, the experts found out that it is impossible to find a model less than 48 cm deep on the domestic market. Machines for 45, 40 cm and especially 35 cm does not exist, at least in our country.
But compared to 55 cm, a minimum depth of 48 cm offers opportunities to save valuable space. The downside is that such parameters are characteristic only for compact small-sized machines with less capacity and performance.
A compact machine is not suitable for very few people for a number of reasons - it can hold a maximum of 8 dish sets, it differs by noisy work and cut-down functionality. Choosing a small model, you will win a dozen centimeters of useful space, but you will lose in terms of the technical capabilities of the machine.
Fact! The performance of a small-sized washer is enough for 1-2 people.
As for the full-size detached and narrow machines - is there a PMM with a depth of less than 55 cm? We suggest to understand this below.
