Hansa ZIM 428 EH Dishwasher Reviews

To save some space in your kitchen, you might consider the narrow Hansa ZIM 428 EH dishwasher. This fully integrated model can wash 10 place settings in one go. Its price is quite attractive, so it's no wonder so many users prefer it. Let's see what people are saying about this dishwasher; perhaps we should consider purchasing one ourselves.

I got this dishwasher early last year. It took me a while to learn how to use it properly. After the first wash, I had to rewash the dishes by hand. A little later, I got the hang of it: I found the right detergent. Fairy pillsI learned how to properly stack plates, cups, spoons and forks, and pots and pans, and I learned how to choose the right programs. If done correctly, the machine will clean any dishware, no matter how dirty it is, to a sparkling finish. Over time, I've come to appreciate the advantages of this appliance.

1. Highly economical, as it uses only 9 liters of water for a complete wash cycle.
2. The positions of the baskets are variable, and they can be rearranged so that even the largest pot in the house will fit.

Initially, I wanted a full-size dishwasher, but now I understand that a narrow one is more than enough for our family.

3. There's a record number of programs. This used to bother me, but now I realize I always have a mode at hand for any given situation.
4. If there are only a few dishes, then when you run the half load mode, the machine will use half as much water and detergent.

The most important thing is that I realized the machine is truly reliable. Hansa is a good brand, and I'm planning to buy a Hansa stovetop soon.

It's great that this dishwasher has a shelf for forks and spoons. You don't have to put anything in it, so I don't scatter my cutlery around too much, and I can be sure everything will be washed perfectly. Washing powder has a significant impact on the dishwasher. I tried a cheap one, but the cleaning quality wasn't great. It's better to buy something in the middle price range. The Hansa ZIM 428 EH dishwasher isn't the best, but it's a solid performer. I highly recommend it!

I liked the dishwasher because it can be hidden in the cabinet. I installed it myself without any problems, even hanging the cabinet doors. It cleans well, makes my wife happy, and in my old age, I don't feel like standing at the sink with a sponge. I'd rather sit in a chair with a newspaper. It's perfect for retirees: inexpensive, works well, and doesn't break down.

Hansa is an inexpensive way to stop washing dishes by hand. I've been using it for six months. I'm happy with everything; the dishes are washed perfectly. Most importantly, my manicure is always in good condition. The machine is a five-star machine.

The dishwasher is good for the price. It's not without its flaws, but they're not critical. The most significant drawback is that it doesn't dry dishes completely. The main advantage is the good price and high cleaning quality.

Negative

Andrey, Moscow

I wash the dishes by hand every time, I could hire a cleaner. I've tried stacking the dishes in the baskets according to the instructions and without, but the cleaning quality is still unacceptable. I've tried a bunch of different detergents, but the dishes don't get much cleaner; you're just throwing money at expensive powders and tablets. I think this is a very bad dishwasher. I don't recommend buying it!

Anastasia, Rostov-on-Don

I think all the comments about this machine are fake. I regret basing my choice on people's opinions. The Hansa ZIM 428 EH only cleans lightly soiled dishes well. The door is so tight I can barely open it. The basket is completely defective. I'm going to the store tomorrow and have them come and pick it up; this machine is unusable. I'll give it one out of five stars!

Julia, Moscow

I've been using this machine for five months now, and the smell of burning rubber still hasn't gone away. It fills the entire apartment, and I'm tired of it. I called a service technician, and he said everything was fine and the smell would soon go away, but I'm tired of waiting. I'm sure if I'd bought a Bosch, I'd be using my dishwasher without any hassle. Don't buy Hansa!

Pavel, Belgorod

We bought a 45 cm Hansa built-in dishwasher about two years ago. It worked fine for the first year, but then serious problems started. First, the spray arm broke, then the heating element failed, and recently, the electronics burned out. It's either karma or the machine is truly faulty. I'm more inclined to believe the latter, so I don't recommend buying this dishwasher.

Ivan, Novosibirsk

I bought a Hansa to save money. They insisted on it at the store, and I agreed. It broke after the second use. The seller refuses to take it back, saying it was caused by a power surge, and what should I do now? It's unreliable, and the repair people are rude. If only they could fix appliances like that, they'd curse!
