The best Bosch compact dishwashers: model rating, description, reviews + recommendations for your choice

The kitchen is still the smallest room in the apartment.

And although in new buildings it is clearly more spacious, in Khrushchev houses, for the preparation of food allocated a tiny nook 2 * 2 m. Even the bare minimum of appliances can hardly fit here.

The Bosch compact dishwasher is a great solution for small kitchens, if the hostess does not want to wash dishes with her hands.

The technique is characterized by high-quality assembly, serves for a long time without failures.It fits well into the interior.

Main features

The main difference between compact models and conventional models - the size. Miniature dishwashers Bosch have dimensions: height - 45-55, width - 60 cm. The depth may be different, but such appliances will fit in any cabinet.

A compact dishwasher easily includes 6 sets of tableware. But there are also quite miniature models, which hold no more than 4.

Types of dishwashers

The company offers different types of equipment:

• Tabletop. The size of these models is not much larger than a large microwave. Nevertheless, such dishwashers can wash 4 cups, the same number of plates, forks, spoons and knives at a time.
• Floor. This technique is more impressive in size and is unlikely to be suitable for very tiny kitchens. But it can hold six sets of dishes. Fits under the sink.
• Freestanding and built-in. You can choose the appropriate option depending on the design of the kitchen.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of dishwashers regardless of the company:

• Do not take up much space .. 45 centimeters in width can be found in any kitchen.
• No need to wash dishes with your hands. Although it's a matter of what you're used to. Putting a greasy frying pan or a cauldron with burnt pilaf in the dishwasher is so much fun. Whether the machine will cope with this is unknown. Although the manufacturer promises perfectly clean dishes without any problems.
• Quiet operation. In contrast to standard-sized models, the mini is almost noiseless - you can not hear them in the next room.
• Functionality. It is exactly the same as in full-size dishwashers.
• Large enough to fit in. It is quite enough for everyday dishwashing.

Specific functions of Bosch dishwashers:

• protection of glassware from temperature shock - there is a heat exchanger;
• protection of any dishes against mineral deposits and scaling - there is a system for adjusting water hardness;
• Door lock - children won't be able to open it and burn themselves;
• Electric control panel lock - a child will not be able to reprogram the machine during its operation.

The disadvantages of mini-dishwashers are twofold:

• They are expensive - as much as full-sized ones;
• they wash a small amount of dishes at a time - but this is the cost of compactness.

Bosch has compact dishwashers, designed for 10 sets of dishes. Such capacity is achieved due to the fact that the machine "grew up" and became higher than its compact counterparts.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

Refer to the following tips when making your choice:

• Capacity. For daily use, 4 sets of dishes are enough.
• Cleaning class .. There are three of them in total: A, B, C. Bosch dishwashers are only class A, which means that the device produces perfectly clean dishes without a hint of dirt.
• Water consumption. On average, miniature models consume 8 liters - this is the most economical option (class A), at least half as much as when washing dishes by hand. There are also classes B (up to 20 liters) and C (over 20 liters). Higher water consumption results in higher power consumption.
• Drying. The Bosch compact dishwashers have convection drying, so there is not much to choose from.
• Energy consumption .. There are 6 classes - A, B, C, D, E, G, where A is economical and G is the least economical. Manufacturers are trying to improve their appliances. In particular, Bosch often produces dishwashers of energy class A+. The more pluses, the less electricity the device consumes. For example, an A+++ model uses 50% less electricity than a similar but class A model.
• Type of connection. It is possible to connect the dishwasher only to cold water supply or to both cold and hot water supply. For Russia, it is better to choose the first type. From the hot faucet often pours water of poor quality, which will quickly put the technique out of operation.
• Number of programs. Many people mistakenly believe that the more there are, the better. For daily use, 4 are enough for strong, medium (standard wash), lightly soiled dishes and express.
• Type of control. Electromechanical - the most reliable, but not modern. In Bosch dishwashers, as a rule, management is electronic.
• Noise level. The lowest you can find on the market is 38 dB. The optimal level is 44-48 dB, 54 dB is too much, especially if you plan to use it in the evening or at night.
• Leak protection. It can be partial - the device turns off when the pan is overfilled, and full - it is triggered when the hose is broken or when there is a lot of water accumulated inside the machine.
• Door locks The door locks while the machine is in operation.
• Filter - Standard or self-cleaning.
• Lighting. Doesn't seem to be a very important function. However, it is much easier to load the machine when the light is on.

Bosch makes mostly full-size dishwashers, as well as high-capacity ones.

But you can find miniature models among their products as well.
