Today in every home you can find household appliances that make our work easier and help us save free time. Plate washing machine is considered one of the examples of such useful devices. Today we’ll look at how convenient 45 cm built-in dishwashers are in this regard.

How to choose the right dishwasher

Just come to the store and buy the first one that catches your eye dishwasher model, means a waste of money. A dishwasher, like other appliances, should not only blend seamlessly with the kitchen interior, but also fully satisfy your wishes in terms of operating capabilities.

Experienced experts recommend paying attention to the following points:

• dishwasher sizes, connection methods;
• to what extent the model is considered embeddable;
• shapes of trays for dirty dishes, their location in the washing chamber;
• quality of the dishwasher;
• number of programs;
• possibility of drying;
• energy efficiency.

The dimensions of the machine refer to parameters that must be taken into account by owners of small kitchens. It should be understood that built-in unit is not able to accommodate a large amount of dirty dishes.You will be forced to use the machine several times to wash all the dishes, which will entail additional costs of water and electricity.

With regard to features related to connection, let's say the following - this criterion is entirely related to energy consumption. If it is possible to connect the machine to centrally supplied hot water, its water heating element will rarely be used, and electricity consumption will be minimal. But keep in mind that the payment for heating water increases. Having compared today's tariffs, we can conclude that paying for electric energy is much more profitable than paying for hot water supply.

Before the final choosing a dishwasher model carefully inspect the baskets for dirty plates - they should be convenient for use. Moreover, modern built-in dishwasher models, in addition to baskets, have special trays for cutlery and hangers for glasses. In addition, the baskets have compartments for small items. In a word, baskets for dirty dishes should be functional.

Pay close attention to the quality of washing. In most cases, perform testing dishwasher this issue will not work, but the necessary information on this issue can be clarified in the accompanying operating instructions:

• A – washing is performed at a high level;
• IN – plates are washed perfectly;
• WITH – rating "good";
• D – washing was assigned a level of “above average”;
• E – the quality is satisfactory.

Another important feature is the selection of operating modes. The fact is that the quality of your dishwasher depends on this. Experts say that a built-in dishwasher should provide the following functions:

1. main mode. Washing is performed at a water temperature of sixty degrees, the working cycle lasts from two to three hours;
2. super mode. The water for washing dishes is very hot, the process lasts no more than an hour and a half;
3. pre-soaking. This function is necessary for dishes that have been dirty for a long time;
4. quick wash. Suitable for lightly soiled plates, completed in forty minutes.

Without such a selection of programs, not a single built-in dishwasher will be able to work properly.

As you know, in addition to washing dishes, a dishwasher also dries them. If the dishwasher is a standard model, then clean plates simply remain in the machine until they dry completely naturally. And modern built-in models are equipped with convection blowers that heat air flows inside the box and set them in motion, speeding up the drying process of the plates. However, this function requires additional electrical energy consumption.
