Hansa ZIM 436 EH Dishwasher Reviews

When you have less than $340 in your pocket, it's hard to dream of a good dishwasher, especially given current prices. But take a look at the Hansa ZIM 436 EH dishwasher, with its narrow body and 10-place setting capacity. It seems like a decent-looking dishwasher: high-quality materials, decent build quality, and it's built-in. But we won't rely on superficial judgment; we'll examine reviews from owners of this appliance. What do they say?

Men's opinions

Roman, St. Petersburg

I've been using dishwashers for years. This is my third. I'll say right away that it's roomier than many other narrow dishwashers. The baskets can easily accommodate a huge amount of dishes. The height of the baskets is adjustable. The Hansa dishwasher's system is even better than that of Bosch machines. Furthermore:

• It has six washing programs, including a delicate one for the most fragile dishes;
• there is a half load mode;
• there is a convenient tray for forks and spoons, as well as a glass holder;
• you can use tablets or powder;
• all kinds of indicators showing the presence of salt and detergent.

In terms of safety, Hansa is not inferior to Bosch, since it has complete protection against leaks. It makes less noise than Bosch, and it also costs less. I don't know about others, but for me, Hansa has become dishwasher number one. I give her five stars!

When I was looking for a dishwasher, I wanted a model with a top cutlery rack. Unfortunately, all the machines I came across were astronomically expensive. It's a common misconception that only expensive dishwashers have top shelves. But then, the Hansa ZIM 436 EH caught my eye. It had everything I needed, and the quality was simply superb, at a more than reasonable price. I decided to buy it right away, without a second thought, and now I've had a wonderful helper in my home for a year now. I recommend it to everyone!

Hansa washes dishes economically. This is especially evident in its detergent consumption. Half a Fairy tablet is enough to wash a medium-soiled dish.

I like everything about it: it's quiet, the parts are assembled perfectly, and it washes well. I haven't noticed any issues in the eighteen months I've been using it. I recommend it to everyone, and I'm prepared to stand by my words.

Alexey, Abakan

The dishwasher is quite unreliable, I can say that for sure, because I used it no more than 10 times since I bought it, and then it broke. I had it repaired twice in the last year, the last time with a tricky electronic error indicating a leak, but there was no leak. The repairmen messed around with the electronics and the error disappeared. Now I'm terrified of what other problem will surface, and I hope it does so before the warranty expires.

Alexander, Moscow

I don't know if I'm the only one or if anyone else has had similar problems. Despite having full leak protection, my Hansa dishwasher leaked, leaving a huge puddle. Interestingly, none of the protection worked; the machine continued washing dishes as if it was supposed to. And by the way, that was only the second wash. I'm dissatisfied, so I returned the machine and got my money back. For now, I'm living without a dishwasher at all. I won't be looking for a new one until I've calmed down!

Missing, Yekaterinburg

So far, I have no complaints about the machine's operation, but I didn't like the way the instructions were written. They're full of confusing questions. For example, I spent a long time trying to figure out where to turn on the 3-in-1 function. I crawled around the door like a monkey trying to figure out where the button mentioned in the manual was. In reality, there's no button there, and the 3-in-1 function is activated automatically when you insert a tablet.

Mikhalych, Saratov

I'm glad I don't have to wash dishes by hand; I hate it. I'd pay twice as much just to avoid standing at the sink. It's good that Hansa makes decent appliances.

Women's opinions

Daria, Ekaterinburg

An incredibly cute and inexpensive dishwasher. It's been washing dishes in our house for three years now, and it works very hard. I use it constantly, even when there aren't many dishes piling up. My friend spends two days hoarding them, and I can't leave dirty dishes out overnight. Hansa makes great appliances, and I have a stove from the same brand in addition to the dishwasher, and so far I have no complaints.

Elena, Vladivostok

I wanted to get a full size one. Bosch SMV30D30RU ActiveWater, but it didn't fit. Plus, it turned out I had no place to put it. I had to buy a narrow Hansa ZIM 436 EH, but I haven't regretted it. The salesperson said this Hansa was slightly smaller than a full-size Bosch in terms of capacity, and that's true. I fit almost all the dishes in the house in it and get superb cleaning results. I wouldn't trade my "helper" for anything.

Marfusha, St. Petersburg

The machine impresses with its adequate water consumption, well-designed distribution of elements within the wash tank, and quiet operation. She has a lot of good programs, more than many of her competitors. At first I thought it wouldn't fit a huge saucepan, but I was wrong, and that's a very good thing. The Hansa ZIM 436 EH dishwasher has been working for 8 months, and so far, everything is going well.

Mia Dastra, Smolensk

At first, I couldn't figure out how to use the 3-in-1 pill tray, but then everything became clear. Despite its low price, the machine doesn't look clumsy—quite the opposite, in fact. It has everything you need, and it works well without breaking down. I highly recommend it!

Natalia, Novosibirsk

The only positive I saw about this machine was its price—it's really low. Unfortunately, its quality is also low. It's been two months since I bought it, and it already needs repairs. The door is leaking. The repairman said he'd fix it under warranty, but I have to wait. So here I am, waiting, while my husband has to wash the dishes. Two stars!
