Compact dishwasher reviews

Owners of very small kitchens don't even dream of a dishwasher, thinking there's simply no room for it. But in reality, a dishwasher can fit even in a kitchen no larger than 6 square meters. In this case, compact dishwashers, which take up little more space than a large microwave, are the optimal solution. We decided to find out what users have to say about these dishwasher models and compiled reviews.

CANDY CDCF 6S

Valuer

Why are people still unable to give up hand-washing dishes, just as they once did with washing machines? Free time is very precious to me, so I never doubted the necessity of a dishwasher. This compact dishwasher is sufficient for two. I only have to run it once a day, and two or three times after guests. I accumulate dishes in the dishwasher throughout the day; I find it unsightly to do so in the sink.

Even the cheapest Auchan products clean the dishes well. I don't use tablets because they're too big and it's awkward to break them in half. In terms of efficiency, hot water consumption has been reduced by one cubic meter per month. This model does have some drawbacks: firstly, it lacks leak protection, secondly, the display doesn't show the remaining wash time. Thirdly, I had to buy hoses for installation, as the factory ones were too short.

Since the instructions don't indicate the duration of the programs, I've made a note of it out of curiosity and am sharing it with you.

1. Standard mode – 2 hours,
2. Intensive wash 2 hours 50 minutes,
3. Glasses mode - 1 hour 10 minutes,
4. Eco mode – 2 hours 50 minutes;
5. 3 in 1 mode – 2 hours.

The Candy dishwasher is wonderful. My kitchen is very small, there's not even a dining table; I only use it for cooking. That's why I bought a compact dishwasher, and I don't regret it one bit. There are three of us in the family, and this dishwasher is more than enough, as long as we load it once a day, and when my husband goes away to work, it's every other day. I accumulate dishes by putting them in a box.

In addition to freeing up your time, you also use water more economically. The disadvantage of this model is that the display does not show the end time of the wash. Some might find this model a bit small, but I don't think so. If you pack everything correctly, it holds a lot of water and cleans well. I use powder or gel for cleaning, as tablets are a bit pricey. To reduce limescale buildup, I try to use the 40 and 50 degree settings.

I learned about compact dishwashers from reviews. People tried to talk me out of buying one, but I took the plunge and am completely happy with it. It only takes the right amount of dishes per day. The only downside, but in my opinion it’s not significant, is that you can’t wash a baking sheet in it. But the fact that it fits into a small kitchen is great.

After purchasing the dishwasher, we washed all our dishes in it. Crystal cleaned best, an A+. But it didn't do a great job with the rest of the dishes, even though I rinsed all the plates before loading them. The spoon holder takes up too much space. The included instructions are completely useless. However, despite all its shortcomings, it's a real lifesaver after holiday gatherings with family and friends.

Electrolux ESF 235

Roman_78

I've had my compact Electrolux dishwasher for 10 years now, and it's worked flawlessly—it's Swedish-made, after all. It washes dishes perfectly, and they're practically dry after drying. It has plenty of settings, and it holds six place settings. I'm very happy with my older Electrolux dishwashers, but I can't say the same about the newer ones. I don't even know if this model is still available.

Electrolux ESF 2450

Lunar

We only needed a compact dishwasher because there wasn't enough space in the kitchen, so we had to install it in the bathroom. It's inconvenient to carry dishes to the bathroom, but it's better than washing them by hand. The machine copes best with glass and porcelain items, but is less successful with plastic and forks. Pots and pans are washed depending on the product used.

Advantages of the model:

• She is a great lifesaver when guests come over;
• washes dishes well, making them look like new;
• there is a connection to both cold and hot water;
• There is a fast mode.

Flaws:

• not enough space for pots and pans;
• not suitable for a large family.

I was given an Electrolux dishwasher as a gift. I'd been dreaming of one for ages, but somehow couldn't find room for it in my 5.5 square meter kitchen. We'd considered hanging it in the bathroom above the washing machine, but then we decided to squeeze it under the sink, which worked out perfectly thanks to its compact size. It's silent, works flawlessly, and half a tablet is enough for one wash. I'm 100% satisfied with it.

The compact Electrolux ESF 2450 dishwasher sits on the counter in our shared apartment. We usually run it overnight. It cleans dishes to a shine, something you can't achieve by hand. It's energy efficient. My advice: remember to run a detergent cycle at least once a month to remove grease, limescale, and other buildup.

Important! Dishwasher reviews shouldn't be the primary criterion for choosing a kitchen appliance, but they are worth listening to. People share their experiences, describing specific nuances and highlighting them.

Delonghi DDW05T Saphire

Voldemar Tractors

A compact Delonghi dishwasher from an Italian manufacturer. In my opinion, for the price, this dishwasher could be better. The pump is too noisy, and if you interrupt a program, water remains in the tank and doesn't drain. The buttons beep very loudly.

Yulia Lapotchkina

The Delonghi dishwasher is easy to use and very roomy for its size. It's enough for our family of five. The dishwasher is 60 cm wide, which allows it to fit perfectly under the kitchen sink. Incidentally, I think it has a very stylish and attractive design. The technician connected it in less than an hour. The door is a little difficult to open, but I didn’t find any other drawbacks.

Afonina Irina

I loved this dishwasher from a little-known brand, Delonghi, after the first wash; it cleaned everything perfectly. It's perfect for small loads of dishes. The motor seems a bit noisy and the door is a bit stiff to open, but that doesn't bother me.

Lizachmok

We were looking for a compact dishwasher and, after much deliberation, settled on the Delonghi model. It cleans dishes perfectly, leaving spoons, forks, plates, and other small utensils sparkling. It makes a noise like a washing machine when draining, but if you close the kitchen door, you can't hear it. The power cord is short. The instructions are poorly translated into Russian in some places, but they're still understandable. If you use a tablet, it will not dissolve in the fast mode. Since this is our first machine and we have nothing to compare it with, it is quite satisfactory.

Midea MCFD-0606

Sidletskaya Oksana

The compact Midea MCFD-0606 dishwasher caught my eye because of its price compared to its competitors, so I didn't have to think twice about it. It looks neat. It's plenty for me; even during the day, I don't get enough dishes to fill it up. I usually use the delayed start feature to let the machine run overnight, and then I get up in the morning and find everything clean, though not completely dry.

It cleans frying pans well, and also cleans pots from burnt milk, but only on a long cycle. Overall, I'm happy with the Midea dishwasher and I'm not even thinking about Bosch.

Please note! Midea is China's largest manufacturer of home appliances. Midea's dishwashers, air conditioners, and microwaves are primarily budget-friendly, appealing to Russian consumers due to their affordability.

Elena Nikolaevna

I bought a Midea dishwasher because I liked the programs and the price. Having a dishwasher has given me more free time, which I happily spend with my family and beading. It cleans dishes perfectly, even heavily soiled ones. In my opinion, it's well-made, even though Midea is Chinese, so I made the right choice.

Sergey Volkov

I didn't like this compact dishwasher right out of the box because it smelled terribly of plastic. The inlet hose wasn't included, so I had to go back to the store and pick one up. Installation was straightforward; I did everything myself. But during a test run, it froze immediately, and all the lights on the control panel started glowing.

After three reboots, I managed to get the Midea machine working again. It hasn't frozen since, but the wash quality is terrible. The tablets don't dissolve well, no matter the price or the price. At the end of the cycle, I have to remove half the undissolved tablet. It cleans glasses, shot glasses, and cups fine, but a greasy residue often remains on the rims of plates, requiring rewashing. I won't even mention pots and pans; I've stopped using them. Bottom line: the machine is cheap and the quality matches it, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Bosch SKS 50E16

Egorov Alexander

An excellent dishwasher in a stylish black finish. It's much quieter than older compact Bosch models. It cleans well, but don't overdo it with detergent, otherwise it will leave foam on the dishes. I like the model, but the inlet hose attachment seems a bit flimsy. Another drawback is that the hose itself is too short.

Nikolaeva Anna

In my opinion, Bosch makes the best appliances. It's a nice design. I had a similar machine in red, but I liked the black one. At first, I used the long cycle, but now I use the fast cycle because it cleans just as well. I'm happy with the purchase.

val.3003

In terms of cleaning, the machine is very good; it removes even the most stubborn dirt. But this model has more downsides than upsides. Firstly, there's no delayed wash, but that's my own fault. And secondly, The panel is made of cheap plastic, the black color looks terrible after wipingMy assistant's is only a week old, but it looks scratched. I wish I'd bought a silver one.

So, let's note that there are a lot of compact (small) car models. In most cases, users give them positive reviews, regardless of the brand. If you'd like, you can check out more. Bosch dishwasher reviews or Candy dishwasher reviews.
