Despite the increasing popularity, dishwashers do not occupy an equal place in the apartments with stylalki. After analyzing the choice of buyers, we realized that most refuse dishwashers because of its size. In small kitchens only the most necessary things are placed. Therefore, a small dishwasher can increase the demand for equipment and make life easier for residents of small apartments.
Types of small dishwashers
To facilitate your choice, we will tell you what a small dishwasher is. We will also reveal their advantages and disadvantages.
The size of the mini dishwasher is not more than that of a microwave oven. Due to the different type of accommodation, even in the closest room there is room for technology.
Small MMOs can be:
- Desktop and portable. The location of the detached model allows you to rearrange it if necessary. Wash up to 6 sets of dishes.
- Suspended models with small depths are suitable for those who do not have a place to place the equipment on the table.
- Compact embedded PMM. These machines have a small height, which allows them to be placed under the sink.
There are also narrow machines washing dishes. Their minimum width is 45 cm, so PMM is conveniently located in the kitchen.
Technology does not stand still. Manufacturers release new developments: mobile and miniature dishwashers of the new generation are more like portable gadgets. They are not tied to communications, so they can be used in the country.
How to place a small dishwasher
Before buying a dishwasher, you need to decide where to put it in the kitchen. Built-in devices perfectly fit under the sink or in another cabinet kitchen set. The technique can be partially built in, when the front door is not masked, and also fully-fitted when the headset hides the car.
Where to put a detached washing machine? Wherever you want. The main thing is to have the opportunity to connect to communications. A small PMM will fit on the refrigerator, in the kitchen niche or just on the table.
Advantages and disadvantages
Judging by their size, the compact dishwasher is not as capacious as the standard dishwasher. Portable mini-technology can wash up to 6 sets of dishes, while a full-size machine - from 9 to 17. For a small family, a compact version is perfect if you wash your cutlery every day and do not leave it for tomorrow.
Pros:
- space saving;
- A suitable choice for daily dish washing;
- saving resources: water and electricity;

Minuses:

- occupies a place on the table or cabinet, unless you buy a suspension model.
Each room has its own nuances, so the advantages and disadvantages of technology are subjective.
