A dishwasher is what every woman dreams of. If you are not only dreaming, but have already gathered to buy equipment, it is important to make the right choice. For a family that likes to cook and receive guests, full-size models of a Bosch 60 cm dishwasher are perfect. The main thing is to decide where the equipment will be installed: you will find both built-in and freestanding.
Features of Bosch dishwashers
Bosch dishwashers are in high demand both in Germany and in Russia. This is not surprising, because the German manufacturer has long convinced the user of the build quality, the duration of operation of the equipment. However, even if you choose “Bosch” among dishwashers, the number of models on the market causes confusion - which one is better to choose?
We will tell you what criteria you should pay attention to when buying:
- A class of washing and drying. This can be determined by the stickers on the PMM case. The highest class A, below is B and C. Since the machine is bought for washing dishes (you don’t want to wash the appliances later), choose only equipment with class A. Also pay attention to customer reviews. Parameters not always indicated in the instructions are true.
- Thrift. Also an important factor. You will use the equipment every day, or even several times a day. Therefore, look at the class of energy consumption (highest - A), water consumption.
- Reliability of materials and operation. See what the case, internal elements, baskets are made of. Ideally, all parts should be stainless steel, which is not afraid of high temperatures and chemical influences.
Is leak protection provided? A panel lock from children? This is important for safe use. - Cost. Each is based on its budget. Not always a high price is a guarantee of quality.
- Functionality. Decide which programs are important to you, whether additional features are needed.
What additional features may come in handy
Studying the reviews on the forums, we came to the conclusion that some users experience inconvenience in the absence of such functionality:
- Indication of salt and rinse aid. Using the machine becomes uncomfortable when you do not know how much money you need to add.
- Delay start timer. You can set the start of work at any time.
- The compartment for modern washing tablets is 3 in 1. For washing, you need to put only 1 tablet and nothing more.
- A signal after the end of the cycle or a light indication (beam on the floor).
Little things matter too. Despite the variety of programs, there may be no sound signal in the technique. Then how do you know if the wash is over? Constantly walking and checking is not too convenient. Therefore, study the functionality of the dishwasher before buying.
Advantages and disadvantages
Standard Bosch dishwashers of 60 cm are very popular among users. Why? Here are a number of undeniable advantages of freestanding PMM:
- Roominess. At one time you can wash from 14 to 17 sets of dishes. VarioDrawer technology makes it possible to rearrange baskets, which allows you to place pots, pans, baking trays.
- Due to the sufficient space, the plates are placed normally, so they are well washed.
- Full-size dishwashers have become more economical. No dirty dishes to fully load? Turn on Half Load mode and save resources.
Of the shortcomings, the dimensions of the case can be distinguished. Although, if you are counting on a full-size model, this minus is subjective.
