Do you think that a small kitchen and a dishwasher are incompatible? We hasten to please you: today manufacturers offer not only narrow and built-in models, but also compact ones. Such dishwashers will not occupy space more than a microwave oven.
In the article we will present an overview of compact dishwashers, we will tell you about the ways of their installation, advantages and disadvantages. Also we will make a rating of the most popular models of PMM from different manufacturers.
Features of compact dishwashers
Which dishwasher to choose? Consider the installation types:
- Stand-alone PMMs will fit perfectly on the table. The overall dimensions of models can be 44х50х55 cm or - height 60 cm, width 55 cm and depth 50 cm. The tank holds from 4 to 6 sets. The advantage of a separate arrangement is that, if necessary, the machine can be rearranged to another location.
- Embedded models have a special design for convenient placement in the kitchen. Dimensions of equipment on average 45h60h55 cm. Some users believe that there are smaller dishwashers with a width of 45 cm, but they refer to small desktop models.
- The most interesting option is a dishwasher under the sink. Its dimensions correspond to the previous versions, but the design is slightly different. The upper cover is slightly chamfered specially for installation under the siphon.
When choosing a compact PMM, it should be borne in mind that the energy and water consumption does not differ from the standard machine, if they belong to the same class. In this case, the rate is made to save space by size.
Advantages and disadvantages
Before you make a purchase, you need to consider all the pros and cons of mini dishwashers.
Pluses:
- dimensions - you can put equipment even in a small kitchen;
- loading - there is no need to accumulate dishes, you can wash it right away thanks to a small load.
Disadvantages:
- difficulties with washing large saucepans, frying pans, baking trays. Some pans are larger in size than the height of the technique;
- the cost of compact machines from well-known manufacturers is not less than full-size;
- if necessary, to wash more dishes, the resource costs are increased.
Judge for yourself, whether for compactness it is worth sacrificing capacity. Perhaps, there will be a place for another model.
Pay attention to the equipment manufacturer. Users praise desktop models from Midea, Electrolux and Ginzzu, which differ in capacity and affordable cost.
In the installation, built-in PMMs do not differ from stand-alone. Connect the machine to the drain and mains by following the instructions. The only difference is the presence of a protective plate on the body, which protects the countertop from the effects of hot steam.

I chose the technique in the kit for other Samsung devices. The front panel of stainless steel is quickly soiled, it is necessary to wipe after each use. At incomplete loading it is noisy working, despite specified 45 Db! After starting the door is not locked, so you can report the plates, while the program stops. It's a pity that only one lower sprinkler, I would like the upper one. Despite this, the dishes are washed well.

I like the dishwasher at the expense of compactness. Adapted to the programs, we chose the optimal 3 in 1, when the dishes are well washed, and dried without streaks on the surface. Our PMP fit under the sink. Some complain that it works loudly, but setting the night mode, absolutely nothing to hear, sleep does not interfere. It's great that you can immediately wash dirty dishes, and not save them for a full load.

With the correct allocation of space is placed even a few pans. The upper shelf for the cups is useless, water jets do not reach it. So PMM normally laundered contaminants, even dried up areas. Washing is sparingly consumed. But! After 2 years of happy use, the engine broke down. Repair cost about half the cost of the dishwasher.

This is my first dishwasher. I enjoy using it, her stylish design has become an ornament of my kitchen. Of course, the main advantage is compactness. The dishes get in enough, everything is perfectly washed and quickly dried. However, to achieve such results, it was necessary to get used to the arrangement of plates in the basket. The display on the panel helps to track time. Excellent machine for a small family, put five points.
