TOP 7 smallest dishwashers

A dish­wash­er is a dream for those who live in a one-room stu­dio apart­ment or live in small Khrushchev apart­ments.

Appli­ance man­u­fac­tur­ers have made a dream come true and invent­ed small dish­wash­er mod­els that can be eas­i­ly built into fur­ni­ture, under the sink or sim­ply placed on the table.

Sur­pris­ing­ly, the com­pact size of the devices did not pre­vent man­u­fac­tur­ers from includ­ing all the func­tions and modes nec­es­sary for clean­ing dish­es in their machines.

The smallest dishwasher

At the moment, the “small­est dish­wash­er” is Can­dy CDCF 6. The device has an opti­mal size — 55 * 50 * 44 cm.

The mod­el is uni­ver­sal, it can be placed on the work sur­face, built into the fur­ni­ture or under the sink.

Despite its com­pact­ness, the dish­wash­er is mul­ti­func­tion­al, has an indi­ca­tion of salt and rinse aid, and includes up to 6 sets of dish­es. The device has an A‑class dry­ing and wash­ing, has var­i­ous clean­ing pro­grams.

Types of mini dishwashers

Com­pact dish­wash­ers can hold a large amount of dish­es, and all due to the fact that such devices are made quite high. Dish­wash­ers are sim­i­lar in width and depth to microwave ovens.

Small devices are divid­ed into:

• Embed­ded. Mod­els are designed for 6 sets of cut­lery, cups, saucers and plates. The machine can be built in com­plete­ly or par­tial­ly, that is, locat­ed in the cab­i­nets of the kitchen set or under the sink. The lat­ter option pro­vides quick access to the water sup­ply and pro­vides sim­ple con­nec­tion and drain equip­ment.
• Stand alone. Such prod­ucts are easy to move around the coun­ter­top or table, change the loca­tion. Instal­la­tion of the device is very sim­ple: just con­nect all the water sup­ply and drain hoses.

How to choose and what to look for?

capacity

Despite the fact that there are mod­els with a width of 30 cm, they are very dif­fi­cult to find on sale. But such prod­ucts are suit­able only for sin­gle peo­ple.

A much more pop­u­lar tech­nique with a width of 50–55 cm and a height of 50–60 cm — it does not take up much space, but is able to serve the whole fam­i­ly, con­tain­ing as many as 8–9 sets of dish­es.

In addi­tion, a small dish­wash­er can be installed under the sink or in the cab­i­net (but in this case it is impor­tant to cal­cu­late every cen­time­ter).

Cleaning class

You should not choose a small dish­wash­er with clean­ing class B and C, as you will be unhap­py with the clean­ing result. Class — A (prefer­ably with a “+” sign — this is pre­mi­um) — the best option for wash­ing your dish­es.

Water consumption

Each user of house­hold appli­ances is inter­est­ed in sav­ing on nat­ur­al resources. Water con­sump­tion for 1 wash­ing mode can be in the range from 6 to 8 liters.

If you use your dish­wash­er every day, this can be quite a sig­nif­i­cant num­ber. How­ev­er, it is worth not­ing that wash­ing dish­es in the device saves water much more than when wash­ing dish­es by hand.

Types of drying

There are three types of dry­ing:

• Tur­bo — dry­ing is done with hot air;
• Fans — blow air from the out­side;
• Con­den­sa­tion — the most com­mon and con­ve­nient, is to evap­o­rate mois­ture.

Operating modes (cleaning)

Usu­al­ly a mini-dish­wash­er includes all the stan­dard modes that are also found in large-sized devices:

• Basic wash — thanks to heat­ing of water up to 65 degrees, all pol­lu­tion is washed off in 90 min­utes.
• Express Mode - in half an hour at 45 degrees, it will wash off small traces of food.
• Eco­nom­i­cal — the water heats up only up to 50 degrees, but the wash­ing time increas­es.
• Inten­sive - the mode is good for clean­ing from strong dirt and grease, it lasts about 2 hours.
• Auto — the machine itself deter­mines the lev­el of pol­lu­tion and selects the best pro­gram and water tem­per­a­ture for clean­ing.

Noise level

Small dish­wash­ers can have both high and low noise lev­els.

The best option is a device with a noise lev­el of 40–42 dB. How­ev­er, such qui­et mod­els are much more expen­sive.

Leak protection

Unfor­tu­nate­ly, not all mod­els of small dish­wash­ers have the Aquastop func­tion, which is a water fill­ing con­trol sen­sor.

To avoid unpleas­ant sit­u­a­tions, it is bet­ter to give pref­er­ence to devices that have this sys­tem in their arse­nal.
