Small dishwasher: under the sink, built-in. Compact dishwasher - a good solution for a small kitchen and a small family

Although in our country Dishwasher has not yet acquired the status of "mandatory" household appliances, which have, for example, a refrigerator and washing machine, no one will argue with the fact that it really simplifies the life of a housewife. Installing such equipment in your kitchen allows you to forget about such routine work as washing dishes, and you can devote the freed time to more pleasant and useful things. But what if the kitchen parameters do not provide for the installation of large appliances? In this case, a compact dishwasher will help solve the problem, the installation of which does not require a lot of free space.

The main advantage of a compact dishwasher is the ability to place it almost anywhere in the kitchen. Some models are very similar in size to microwave ovens, so this technique can be hidden in a closet, for example, under the sink, or placed on the countertop.

The narrow 35-45 cm wide dishwasher takes up not much more space on the countertop than a standard microwave

In addition to ease of use, a compact dishwasher, as a rule, fits very harmoniously into any kitchen interior. In addition, it significantly reduces water consumption compared to manual washing.

For your information! To wash 6 sets of dishes by hand, an average of 30 liters of water is required. Dishwasher consumption for this volume is about 7 liters. Savings are achieved by using the same water several times in each washing step.

Perhaps the only drawback of compact dishwashers is their small capacity compared to full-sized items (4-6 sets of dishes versus 12-14). Although for a family of 2-3 people, such a load is usually enough to use the car no more than once a day.

For a small family, a small dishwasher can be indispensable assistant

Criteria for choosing a compact dishwasher

Like any household appliance, a dishwasher must be selected based on its technical specifications and functionality. First of all, you must find answers to the following questions:

  • Are the dimensions of the appliance acceptable for your kitchen?
  • How much water and electricity is required to complete one wash cycle?
  • Is there leakage protection?
  • Is the set of programs provided enough to solve standard tasks?

dimensions

The size range of compact dishwashers is quite wide. The narrowest dishwashers are 30 cm wide. Although not all stores have such mini-options, you may have to make an individual order to purchase the right model. But the width from 45 cm to 55 cm is much more common - it is this technique that is most in demand, because, on the one hand, it does not take up much space in the kitchen, and on the other hand, it allows you to place up to 8 sets of dishes inside.

A small dishwasher should not only be narrow, but also relatively low. The height of the compact machine varies in the range of 45-60 cm. This parameter allows you to place the machine both under the sink and under the wall cabinets on the countertop.

The depth of almost all small models is the same - 50 cm. However, if every centimeter is important to you, you should clarify this parameter before buying, since in some cases there may be slight deviations (± 5 cm).


In order for the dishwasher to fit perfectly into the kitchen interior, it is important to calculate every centimeter

Water and electricity consumption

For economical owners, the consumption of water and electricity during washing cycles has great importance. As noted above, a small dishwasher uses water much more economically than a housewife does in the process of hand washing. In different models, the flow rate parameter can vary from 6 to 8 liters per cycle. At first glance, the difference is small. Although if you multiply it by 365 days (assuming daily use of the sink), the result will seem much more tangible.

Electricity consumption largely depends on the method of heating water - heating or flowing. The heaters are located at the bottom of the chamber (as in an electric kettle), while the flow heaters are located outside the chamber and are a special tube with external heating. Flow options are more efficient, although they consume more electricity.

Note! The energy efficiency class of devices is indicated by the letters of the Latin alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Class A is assigned to the most economical equipment, class G - to the least economical.

Aquastop function

Any dishwasher, compact or full-sized, requires a connection to the water supply. Working with water is always accompanied by the risk of leakage due to depressurization of the pipeline or damage to the seals. To prevent flooding, you should choose a dishwasher with special Aquastop leakage protection.

Interesting to know! The Aquastop system was developed at the end of the last century by Bosch engineers. In the future, this protection began to be copied and used by almost all companies involved in the production of household appliances that require water connection.

The advantage of this defense is its simplicity. The machine is supplied with a special pallet, at the bottom of which there is a float switch. In the event of a leak, the pan is filled with water, which causes the “float” contacts to open and the power supply to the pressure solenoid valve to be cut off. Thus, the water supply is stopped until the cause of the leak is eliminated.

Program set

The set of programs used for small-sized and full-sized dishwashers is no different. As a rule, the operating modes provided are enough to wash dishes with any level of contamination. At the same time, some manufacturers add additional "ECO" and "AUTO" functions, which allow not only to remove grease and dirt, but also save on electricity consumption and water consumption.

Consider a list of standard programs, without which the functionality of the machine will be considered incomplete (the name of the function may differ for different models):

  • Standard sink.

The water heats up to 60-65 °C, which allows you to bring almost any dish to a shine. Cycle duration - 90 min.

  • Quick wash.

It is used for lightly soiled dishes. Water temperature - 45°C, cycle time - 30 min.

  • Intensive wash.

It is used for heavily soiled dishes. Characterized by a pre-wash at 40°C, heating the water to 65-70°C during the main cycle and an additional rinse during cold water. Cycle duration - 120 min.

  • Economical washing (ECO).

The algorithm is similar to the standard mode, with the only difference that the main wash is carried out at a water temperature of 50 °C. This allows you to significantly save on electricity, while the washing cycle is increased to 145 minutes.

  • Automatic washing (AUTO).

Thanks to the built-in sensor, the machine independently determines the level of soiling of dishes and selects the optimal temperature regime for cleaning them.

Installation options for a small dishwasher

According to the installation method, compact dishwashers are divided into built-in under the countertop and desktop. If you want to save extra space in the kitchen, then good option, although not always achievable, is to place a small dishwasher under the sink. At the same time, desktop appliances can be placed in any free space on the tabletop, which makes this option more flexible.

Placement under the sink

It’s worth clarifying right away that small dishwashers placed under the sink do not belong to built-in appliances in the classical sense of the term. This is, in fact, the same free-standing dishwasher, the dimensions of which allow it to be placed under the siphon.

Note! Since the standard height of floor-standing kitchen cabinets is 80 cm, a compact dishwasher with a height of 45 cm can only be installed if the space occupied by the sink and siphon does not exceed 35 cm. In addition, a small dishwasher must be narrow enough (35-40 cm), to fit in the closet.

This installation method has both pros and cons. The advantages include the close location of all communications (water supply, sewerage) and, in fact, saving space on the countertop. However, since a trash can is often placed under the sink, it will be necessary to resolve the issue with its new location, which is the main drawback of such an installation.

Table top installation

Mounting a small-sized dishwasher on a countertop does not require special knowledge and, as a rule, does without the involvement of specialists. For this you need:

  1. Choose a suitable location (preferably closer to the water supply and sewerage system).
  2. Bring water.
  3. Connect the drain hose to the sewer.
  4. Connect the machine to electricity (you may need to install a separate outlet).
  5. Do a test run and make sure there are no leaks.

Important! The first start-up should be carried out without dishes, but with the use of detergents in order to wash out small debris and grease that remain after the equipment is assembled at the factory.

Overview of popular manufacturers

Today, almost all well-known manufacturers of household appliances produce compact dishwashers. At the same time, the price, as well as quality, can differ significantly for different brands. Below we consider brands that deserve attention from the domestic consumer.

Bosch (Germany)

Bosch is the recognized market leader in small dishwashers. And although the price of such equipment is one of the highest, German quality and wide functionality more than cover this “disadvantage”.

Bosch dishwashers are characterized by a simple design and a minimum of controls, which simplifies the operation of the machine.

Video guide for choosing a built-in dishwasher

If you have a small kitchen, then you do not need to refuse to purchase a dishwasher just because there is nowhere to put it. If you have not monitored the market for these products, then this article will be very useful for you. We will analyze what are the main functions and dimensions small dishwashers.

Functions

The main function that dishwashers perform is high-quality dishwashing. It is designed to free its owners from prolonged standing near the kitchen sink, washing the mountains of dishes that constantly accumulate there. Dishwashing machines come in three designs:

  1. full-size or wide, its width is 60 cm;
  2. narrow, from 40 cm to 45 cm wide;
  3. desktop or compact.


Peculiarities

Consider narrow and compact machines. It is immediately necessary to warn that appliances of this size can hold much less dishes than standard ones. And therefore, the narrow one is designed for a family of 4-6 people, and its capacity is from 5 to 10 sets of dishes. A standard set of dishes consists of 11 items (excluding pots, pans, bowls, and so on). These dishwashers are built-in and freestanding. The equipment is also built in differently depending on where the machine control panel is located. A fully built-in model is available with the panel on the front door and with the control panel open. As we can see, by reducing the width of the machine, much less dishes or other kitchen utensils are placed in it for washing. And if manufacturers reduce the size to 35 cm, then it is unlikely that more than five sets can be placed in such a machine, which is why a small desktop dishwasher was developed, as in the photo.


The compact machine is designed for a family of up to four people and holds about four sets of dishes. It is very convenient to install small dishwashers under the sink. In addition to the fact that such a mini-machine is easily installed under the sink, it can be installed on a countertop, a shelf in a closet.

However, if the equipment is small in size, then this does not mean at all that it is not capable of performing basic functions.

Advantages

What conquers the modern small narrow dishwasher of buyers:

  • It fits perfectly into the interior of the kitchen, due to its size. And if a desktop machine is purchased, then, due to its size, it can perfectly “hide” in a closet or under the sink;
  • Unlike full-size, narrow uses 35 to 45% less water;
  • Much less power consumption;
  • Suitable for small families and bachelors (desktop);
  • Standard, necessary set of functionality with excellent quality of washing.

A few disadvantages:

  • a small narrow dishwasher 40 cm will not fit for washing pots, pans, baking sheets at the same time;
  • the largest number of sets of dishes that such a machine can hold is about ten, which may not be enough for a family of 6 people.


For reference: 1 set of dishes consists of: 3 plates for different purposes, 1 saucer, 1 cup, 1 glass, 3 spoons, 1 fork and 1 knife.

Popular Models

When determining models of narrow small dishwashers popular among buyers, numerous reviews from the owners of this miracle technique and sellers of household appliances stores were taken into account. So, the most popular among narrow models are: Bosch, Siemens, Kaiser, Indesit, Beko, among compact ones - Candy, Bosch, Electrolux.


For example and comparison, consider some models:

  1. The narrow models we cite are distinguished by excellent washing and drying classes, this is class A;
  • One of the cheapest models is Beko DFS 05010 W, as in the photo. For one cycle it consumes 1.01 kW of electricity, water consumption is 13 liters, the number of dish sets for washing is 10, the noise level is 49 dB. This model has 5 programs for washing dishes. A very important advantage is complete protection against leaks;
  • The next model of a narrow dishwasher is the Indesit DSG 0517. It consumes 1.02 kW of electricity per wash cycle. For washing 10 sets of dishes, 10 liters of water are consumed. The dishwasher has 5 dishwashing programs. The noise level during operation is 53 dB. Partial leakage protection;
  • Siemens SK 24E 202 consumes 0.78 kW per wash cycle, which is significantly lower than previous models. The dishwasher has 5 washing programs, consumes 9 liters of water to wash 9 place settings, at a noise level of 48 dB. In addition, it has excellent leakage protection. But the cost is already different from previous models;


  • The next model in this price segment, Bosch SPS 40E42, can wash 9 sets of kitchen utensils, while consuming 0.8 kW. The model has 4 programs, noise level - 54 dB, full protection against leaks. And although the cost of this model is from 24 thousand to 24.5 thousand rubles, the reviews of its happy owners are only positive. The quality of washing at the highest level;
  • And this TOP of models is completed by the most expensive Kaiser S4581 XLW dishwasher. Its cost is 33,500 rubles, but the presence of nine washing programs, full protection against leakage, the ability to wash 9 sets of dishes with 12 liters of water consumption, you see, it's worth it. This model has a half load mode. Moreover, it consumes 0.81 kW for a full cycle, and works for almost 2 hours.

A small 40 cm dishwasher will not be as efficient in operation as the machines we are considering. After all, you need to consider that 40 cm is only external dimensions, and if you subtract the size of the walls, then there will be no space left for loading, because manufacturers have invented compact washing machines. These are machines that are presented on the Russian market, are convenient for use and have won the favor of consumers, along with narrow ones.

Desktop dishwashers. Consider the top three based on customer reviews: Candy CDCF6, Electrolux E SF 2210DK, Bosch SKS 50 E 18. All models have a top-level washing and energy class - A. Drying class B, except for Candy, she has A. In one cycle washing six sets of dishes all use 0.63 kW and seven liters of water. Noise level 52-53 dB.

A quick look at a few of the smallest dishwashers


Nowadays, a dishwasher is no longer a luxury, but a necessary attribute in the kitchen, helping us save time and effort. But not everyone has a large and spacious kitchen, which can easily accommodate all the necessary appliances, including a dishwasher. In small, and even more so small kitchens, it is not possible to place a full-sized dishwasher. Then we will have to choose a small size dishwasher. The choice is quite wide - ranging from narrow dishwashers to very tiny desktop models. Below is a list and short an overview of the most interesting and small dishwashers.

The smallest dishwasher models

In the picture, on the right, you can see world's smallest dishwasher. It looks like a microwave and is about the same size. It is ideal for a very small kitchen, but unfortunately this model has already been discontinued and you can only buy it from hand.

Very interesting little dishwasher - . Simply stunning design in a retro, 50s style. And the filling is the most modern, there are a lot of programs and a low noise level, only 42 dB and a half load option and energy-saving technologies. The height of the dishwasher is only 60 centimeters.

  • Water consumption 9 l
  • Energy consumption per cycle 0.61 kWh
  • Noise level during operation 43 dB
  • Number of programs 5
  • Number of temperature modes 5
  • Half load mode

  • Dishwasher Gota- it's very compact size and super modern hi-tech design! This very tiny machine has not yet been put into mass production and is only a concept. Yes, not a lot of dishes fit into it, but the consumption of water, energy and detergents is very small. Perfect for the small kitchen of a modern programmer bachelor or a lover of all kinds of technological gadgets.

    What is the smallest dishwasher to choose? How not to miscalculate with the choice of model, dimensions and functionality of a kitchen assistant, so as not to be disappointed later and not look for a replacement for her?

    Compact dishwashers

    Compact dishwashers lead the household appliance sales list. Still, for little money, the buyer receives a huge benefit, or rather a few bonuses:

    • personal time is not wasted on washing dirty dishes;
    • utility costs are reduced (water and electricity bills are noticeably reduced);
    • when purchasing a small dishwasher, you do not need to do redevelopment and repairs in the kitchen;
    • low price compared to the cost of full-size counterparts.

    The competition among home appliance manufacturers is huge, and each brand offers at least 20 models of small-sized dishwashers to choose from.


    The photo shows the leaders among compact dishwashers.

    How do they differ and how to choose the best dishwasher? It is better to give preference to time-tested large manufacturers. A well-known brand is a guarantee of quality, reliability in operation, which has been confirmed by satisfied customers for decades.


    Characteristics

    The main criteria when choosing a compact dishwashing machine should be optimal technical characteristics:

    1. Variety of programs. The larger the set of machine programs, the more versatile it is. It’s good if, in addition to the traditional “Normal” and “Intensive” programs, the dishwasher has features such as half load mode (only one sink is filled); turbo drying; pre-rinse. The "Economy" program reduces water consumption, reduces the time of washing dishes. "Fast mode" is good for processing one set of tea service after breakfast. Bosch's innovation in the form of a self-cleaning filter simplifies dishwasher maintenance.
    2. Efficiency. It is not possible to check in advance how well the dirt on the dishes is washed off. But if the passport indicates the presence of sprinklers on the upper and lower walls, condensation drying of dishes, pre-soak and rinsing, all these bonuses from manufacturers confirm in advance efficient work kitchen unit. A smart dishwasher can independently "assess" the level of contamination of the plates, select the optimal operating mode and water heating temperature. In a good dishwasher, the number of temperature settings should be at least 5.
    3. Control. Mechanical switching of modes is carried out by turning the knob. Such machines break down less often and are easier to repair. The electronic control of the machine is displayed on the display, where at the touch of a button you can change the operating mode, set additional functions. Electronically controlled machines are more expensive than their mechanical counterparts.
    4. Profitability. It is better to give preference to dishwashers with the lowest consumption of electricity, water and detergents. If in technical description class A is indicated - this means that one cycle of the dishwasher will be at least 20% more economical and perform its work more efficiently than larger machines. If the dishwasher can be connected to hot water This will also save power consumption.
    5. Safety. A reliable small dishwasher should have an important function - protection against leaks, it is provided by automatic control over the amount of water collected. In the event of a leak, the pump immediately turns on and the water supply to the unit is blocked. The tightness of the inner chamber, a reliable water supply system and water supply hoses with multiple degrees of strength ensure trouble-free operation of the dishwasher.
    6. The noise level of a running dishwasher should not exceed 43 dB.



    Which option is better

    When choosing a car, the first thing you have to decide is its model. There are two varieties: the smallest built-in dishwashers and desktop. Both those and other models can accommodate no more than 4-6 sets of dishes. For a small family, this will be enough.


    If the layout of the kitchen and furniture allow, of course, it is better to hide the car (its size is 40 cm) in one of the cabinets or under the sink. The smallest dishwashers are built under the sink without any redevelopment and changing pipes. But most often a dishwasher is purchased when the entire kitchen is already equipped.


    In this case, the best option is the smallest desktop dishwasher. Its dimensions can be no larger than the size of a microwave. But manufacturers adhere to certain standards: 46 x 45 x 48cm are the dimensions of “micro” dishwashers and 45 x 55 x 50cm are ordinary desktop dishwashers that belong to the compact class (size 40cm). The good thing about desktop dishwashers is that they can be easily connected to electricity and water supply.

    Hide

    Kitchens in typical Russian apartments are small, and therefore you want to choose the appropriate dishwasher for them. Slightly less! Narrower! If possible, then somewhere embedded!

    What are compact dishwashers

    They can be divided into three types:

    • compact dishwasher freestanding;
    • built-in compact dishwasher;
    • compact dishwasher.

    Of the stand-alone, this class usually includes a compact dishwasher with a width of 45 cm. But it is difficult to call such a unit truly miniature: 15 cm of gain in width compared to “normal” 60 cm models is too small to make it more spacious domestic cuisine.

    Many experts believe that in reality a compact mini-class dishwasher is only a desktop model. Moreover, one that can be easily disconnected from water, sewage and electricity and rearranged to another place, or even taken to another room so as not to interfere with cooking in the kitchen.

    Compact built-in dishwasher

    The same experts believe that built-in models cannot be attributed to the mini-class: they say that they do not differ in size from stand-alone ones, and therefore, no matter how much you build them in and how not to hide them behind decorative panels they won't take up less space.

    But there is one nuance here. Small dishwashers under the sink are popular all over the world. They are in such demand that the standards of many countries even introduce a special requirement for such machines: in their case there must be a recess for a pipe with a siphon coming from the sink or a special bevel of the back wall.


    Compact under-sink dishwasher

    Such machines are smaller than conventional built-in ones and the term "compact under-sink dishwashers" has the right to be. But in the Russian Federation, alas, there are not many of them!

    Installing a compact dishwasher

    Not much different from the installation of conventional units. And the features if a free-standing compact dishwasher is installed are narrow: exactly the same as when installing a conventional 60 cm dishwasher.


    Connecting a compact dishwasher to communications during installation

    Another thing is that the rules for operating a desktop machine require a strictly horizontal installation of the unit, and the manufacturer did not provide the desktop model with adjustable legs. Then you have to level the surface on which the unit is placed on the horizon: a countertop or a bedside table cover.

    An article on our website will help you identify breakdowns and flaws in the operation of a small-sized device and eliminate them.

    Read about what it is and what its role is in washing dishes in the article dedicated to this device.

    Connecting a compact dishwasher to water, sewerage and electricity is carried out in the same way as a full-size one. Do not console yourself with the thought that if the machine is compact, then it consumes less electricity and therefore you can use a thin wire, an 8-10 Amp socket, and the like.

    All requirements are the same; You can't deviate from the safety rules.

    Compact dishwasher: reviews

    A compact dishwasher is not some kind of full-size ersatz. The user should not make concessions according to the formula "dimensions in exchange for quality". And how this requirement is observed in practice, we will judge by the feedback from consumers. Moreover, we will not retell complaints or positive comments about individual brands or brands. Let's summarize those reviews that apply to all compact models of dishwashers.

    1. The formula "Dimensions in exchange for quality" is not justified: compact machines are washed and dried no worse than their full-size counterparts. 2. Compact models consume no less electricity than full-size ones. Water, detergents - a little less. You won't be able to save on operating costs.

    3. Most of the complaints are due to the fact that dishes even for a small family (2-3 people) can rarely be washed in one washing cycle. The car has to be operated for 6-8 hours a day. Large pots, dishes either do not fit, or you have to show miracles of logistics in order to place them in the car. A certain lady, having tested the device, publishes a cry of the soul on one of the forums: “Yes, everything that the machine washes for 2 hours, I will wash under the tap in 15 minutes!”

    4. Machines are not as small as users would like. Standard sizes desktop units for washing 6 sets - 45x50x55cm (height, depth, width). That is, they pretty much clutter up the kitchen table or bedside table. And you can’t make them smaller, since standard bowls-bowls-plates won’t fit.

    Based on the foregoing, most members of the forum come to the conclusion that a compact dishwasher is a temporary option. It is good either for newlyweds, who sooner or later will acquire a larger apartment and install a full-size dishwasher; or for older people who already find it difficult to wash dishes by hand, but have the time and patience to wait for the miniature machine to do the job assigned to it.

    What is the best compact dishwasher

    Dimensions? But for all cars in this class, they are about the same. The width is set by the standard dimensional plates, the depth - by the number of sets for simultaneous washing. Usually - either 6 or (rarely) 4.

    Price? But a cheap model may not be a help, but a burden for a housewife. And her husband, who will have to constantly repair it.

    But this does not mean that an expensive model will be the best.

    Quality of washing, washing, energy saving level?
