Dishwasher

Dishwashers for spotlessly clean dishes

A dishwasher makes housework easier and consumes less energy and water than washing by hand. They are available as built-in, semi-integrated, and freestanding appliances. In addition, there are two sizes to choose from. In addition to the standard size of 60 cm width, there are also compact dishwashers with a width of 45 cm. Whether small or large, dishwashers work gently and have numerous programs for effective cleaning of dishes, cutlery, and glasses.

Special functions of modern dishwashers

Simple dishwashing is a thing of the past. Today's dishwashers work with intelligent programs and sensors that make them even more efficient. Load sensors measure the amount and type of dishes as well as the degree of soiling and adjust the wash time and water consumption. Special programs clean delicate dishes such as glasses or porcelain particularly gently. Timer functions and smart features such as Wi-Fi and app support make household planning easier.

What is the difference between a fully integrated and a partially integrated dishwasher?

A fully integrated dishwasher is no longer visible. It is built into the kitchen unit and provided with a matching front. The control elements are located in the door. Some models project the remaining running time via LED onto the floor. A partially integrated dishwasher is also placed under the worktop and adapts to the kitchen design. The difference lies in the details: the control elements are visible in this variant.

When should you choose a freestanding dishwasher?

Freestanding dishwashers offer maximum flexibility. They usually have removable worktops so that they can be pushed under the worktop if necessary. Alternatively, they can also be placed next to kitchen furniture or appliances. They are particularly suitable for modular kitchens. They are also practical if they are bought afterwards and there is no space under the worktop.

What are the advantages of a partially integrated dishwasher?

Since the control elements are visible and directly accessible, a partially integrated dishwasher can be programmed without having to be opened. This gives you a better overview of the remaining running time and the selected program. The front can be changed according to your wishes or the intended design of the machine can be used. This way, the partially integrated dishwasher can be easily reused in a new kitchen.

Is a small dishwasher as powerful as a large one?

Yes, dishwashers with a width of 45 centimeters or compact table dishwashers are just as powerful as larger appliances today. They are energy-efficient and water-efficient and have sensors, glass-care programs, and a flexible interior layout. In some cases, energy consumption can even be lower because they require less electricity and water due to their limited space.

Choose a dishwasher with a cutlery basket or cutlery drawer?

Choosing a dishwasher with a cutlery basket or cutlery drawer depends on personal preferences and requirements. A cutlery drawer saves space inside and allows more dishes to be accommodated in the appliance. The drawer is usually located in the upper area of the appliance and may make the upper basket less flexible in height. A cutlery basket can be loaded more quickly and easily and can be placed variably in the appliance for many models. Ultimately, the decision between basket and drawer is a matter of personal taste.
