Pros and cons of PMM from Ikea
Models are actively sold in Ikea brand stores, so there is a lot of feedback. Among them are the positive ones that characterize dishwashers only from the best side, and the negative ones, which affect their weak points.
Users like the following:
- machines fully meet the parameters stated by the manufacturer;
- economical washing programs (“Eco”, “Fast”) justify themselves;
- almost all options are convenient and widely used;
- in cars there is nothing superfluous - only useful functions;
- quiet operation does not create a “noise curtain”;
- detailed documentation with specifications and installation instructions;
- comfortable sections to accommodate various dishes.
Embedding the model is easy, according to the manufacturer's schemes. The dimensions of the models are standard, so there are no problems with installation.
The disadvantages often include poor washing of glass and ceramic objects. However, white stains are easy to remove if you choose the right detergent.
There are complaints about the lack of cleansing heavily soiled pans and pots.
Such items must first be soaked, since the power of the dishwasher is not enough to completely clean them from burnt products, a thick layer of fat or colored stains.
Many are captivated by a long warranty period - 5 years (except for the Lagan model). If during this period, some parts fail, the company undertakes to replace free of charge.
