Modern housewives, busy at work, as well as raising children, are well aware of all the advantages of using a dishwasher. And their (advantages), in comparison with the manual washing of dishes, are enough to convince the most inveterate conservative. In civilized countries around the world, a dishwasher has long been rooted in the kitchen. And in our homes, this device began to appear and gain the trust of users only in the next decade.
The main advantage of dishwashers is that they save your valuable time by doing work that you can not stand. After all, there are few lovers to wash the dishes! Beautiful hands of the mistress (or the owner) - the second plus. Not succumbing to the negative effects of water and alkaline detergent, the skin of the hands will maintain its well-groomed appearance and health.
The quality of the dishwasher is far superior to manual labor. The dishes really shine and creak with impeccable cleanliness when they are removed from the apparatus. This, of course, the necessary household appliances not only saves time, but also energy costs. Water is used several times less, the machine itself heats it, saving electricity, or gas, which is spent on heating.
When choosing a convenient and functional device, you need to pay attention to some criteria. An important role is played by the size of the dishwasher, ease of use, its appearance and the set of necessary programs and functions.
So, the size of the dishwasher largely depends on how many members are in your family and how large the kitchen is. There are compact machines (45x55x45cm), they are designed for a maximum of 4-5 sets of dishes. Full-size (60x60x85cm) appliances, for a large family, can wash 12-14 sets at a time. And narrow - the width of which is 45 cm, for a family of 3 people, for 6-9 sets.
Dishwashers produce freestanding and built-in. Knowing the size of the dishwasher you need, it is advisable to determine its location in advance and leave free space in the furniture set. The location of the device next to the sink will be most appropriate to minimize movement in the kitchen.
Having information about which machine you decide to purchase, the furniture designer will calculate the required cabinet size for the dishwasher. But it should be noted that manufacturers of household appliances are developing a standard size dishwasher, which is ideal for installation in the kitchen wall. The niche itself, as well as the size of the facade for the dishwasher, will be 45, or 60 cm, depending on which dishwasher you have chosen. It fits perfectly under the countertop thanks to the adjustable legs.
For comfortable operation, many useful functions have been invented, the purpose of which is maximum cost savings and process efficiency. For example, half loading allows you to use only one basket, halving water consumption . Saves water and a self-cleaning filter, passing through which the same water is used repeatedly. The presence of many programs in modern models of dishwashers makes it possible to choose the right one for a particular dishware and degree of contamination. With the help of salt indicators and rinse aid, you can adjust their flow rate. Relocation of baskets - this function allows you to raise the upper basket, which increases the capacity of the lower. The memory of the dishwasher after an accidental stop includes the program from the moment at which the washing process was interrupted.
In devices of a premium class there is also a child lock, a heat exchanger. It is able to save energy due to the accumulated heat in the previous cycle of washing and its subsequent use. Removable irrigation nozzles facilitate the process of washing large-sized dishes, and delaying the start will turn on the machine after a period of time specified by the user.
