Dishwashers are classified as types of equipment that make the daily life of their owners easier. High prices and impressive dimensions often stop people from purchasing. But a way out of this situation can also be found. One of the options is built-in models measuring up to 45 centimeters. Almost every manufacturer offers these, Bosch is no exception.
What parameters should you pay attention to when choosing?
You shouldn’t settle for the first model you come across. In this case, the purchase will only disappoint, and the money will be wasted. The model must meet the needs and expectations of the buyer, and not just fit into the interior of the room.
According to expert advice, the following characteristics deserve increased attention:
- Economical consumption of water and electricity.
- Drying: features, part configurations.
- Functionality, support for different washing modes and temperatures.
- The overall quality of the wash.
- Type of baskets for dishes. We need to take a closer look at the adjustment methods and their location inside.
- Possibility of embedding into furniture.
- Features, connection diagram.
Dimensions.
Each of the above points should be considered in more detail.
- About dimensions
- The characteristic is important for owners of a kitchen with small dimensions. Built-in 45-centimeter models will be an excellent choice in the case of saving space.
Narrow machines will also have less capacity, but they also have advantages:
The performance is quite sufficient for a small family of 2-3 people.
Economical consumption of resources.
No need to wait until there are a lot of dishes.
- Connection features
- The parameter is tied to the consumption of electricity in a particular equipment. Support for connection to hot water reduces the load for the heating element. Then electricity is consumed in minimal quantities. But water consumption in such conditions is higher. Savings are questionable if you look at modern tariffs.
Built-in
Models that are easy to install under sinks and kitchen units are especially appreciated. Baskets
- The main thing is that this part of the machine is as convenient as possible for a particular owner. Even with small sizes of the machines themselves, it is important to maintain the ability to clean dishes of any type, of different sizes.
- It is good when there are several sections, if they include:
- Separate containers for small kitchen utensils.
Special mounts where glasses are placed.
Compartments for ordinary cutlery, and so on.
It is better to choose built-in dishwashers with maximum functionality and capacity.Features, connection diagram.

Experts say that the optimal connection is to cold water. Thanks to this, vulnerable parts of the machine will be protected from scale and limescale for a long time. When using cold water, the washing quality of the models is better.

Embeddability
Particularly appreciated are models that are easy to install under sinks and kitchen units. BasketsThe main thing is that this part of the machine is as convenient as possible for a particular owner. Even with the small size of the machines themselves, it is important to maintain the ability to clean dishes of any type, of different sizes.
It’s good when there are several departments, if they include:
Separate containers for small kitchen utensils.
Special mounts where glasses are placed.
- Compartments for regular cutlery, and so on.
- It is better to choose built-in dishwashers with maximum functionality and capacity. The preferred material is not steel, but plastic.
- Regarding the quality of washing
- The manufacturer Bosch only produces dishwashers with the highest cleaning quality. But it is better to study the accompanying documentation in advance.
Usually, a sticker on the case indicates which class a particular model belongs to.
A or A+ are the highest grades in this regard.
D and E are the worst indicators. B and C - these letters indicate that the dishes are cleaned at a medium level.Dishes should not just be washed with water; cleaning is important. Therefore, it is not recommended to save on this parameter. How the model copes with its main purpose depends on this.
Information about programs, modes
- Most machines from Bosch have full functionality. Everything you need for full operation of the equipment.
- But when choosing, you need to additionally look for the following functions:
- "Fast". Washing takes 30-40 minutes, suitable for processing plates with serious dirt.
- Soaking and pre-soaking, pre-washing. The modes are used in the case of dishes that have had time to dry out. "Super mode".The bottom line is that the dishes are treated with high-temperature water for one and a half hours.Basic. This mode has many names. But the principle remains the same. For a couple of hours, the dishes are doused with water at 50-60 degrees.
For normal washing under any conditions, several basic modes will be sufficient. Some models from Bosch support up to 10-15 programs. The buyer must decide for himself which functions he will definitely use. The price of the equipment largely depends on their quantity.
Drying process
Complete drying of dishes is supported even by narrow machines of 45 centimeters. Let’s assume an option with one function – when water drains from the dishes over a certain time. Some dishwashers have convection blowers. They quickly dry any type of cutlery, although such processes require more energy. Savings on water and electricity The more functions and capacity, the more energy a particular model needs during operation. This rule applies to all types of equipment.Bosch SPV series: what features does it have?Bosch used to have the SRV series. SPV is one of the most modern developments that has replaced older models.
In general, the features of these washing machines can be described as follows: – VarioSpeed option. Accelerates other modes without compromising processing quality. Additional VarioDrawer basket. All cutlery fits here, regardless of size.Only for some of them a separate section is provided.There is no indication of program completion time, if we talk about the simplest models in the line. There is no sound insulation, and the set of programs remains minimal. But such models of built-in washing machines also cope with the main task.All units from the Bosch manufacturer are built-in and have a standard width of 45 cm.
