Reading information online is like guessing. I realized long ago that most of the reviews are sponsored. So, when buying, I decided to trust my instincts and a brand I knew from gas stoves. I also watched YouTube videos and studied the dishwasher's manual beforehand. A live inspection of the appliance in the store helped me settle on a specific model, even though the salespeople urged me to buy an Italian model. I resisted, and I don't regret it.

So, the machine works well, here are its advantages:

• quiet, you can only hear it when filling and draining water;
• convenient cutlery tray;
• dries well, no drops remain, except for a small puddle at the bottom of the chamber, which also dries up after a while;

On the Eco program, which I launched for the first time, not only the plates but also the pots and glasses dried out.

• You can deliver forgotten dishes even an hour after starting;
• You can interrupt a running program in order to reduce the washing time.

I didn't find any defects when I purchased it, but now there is some inconvenience. The thing is that tablets can only be used for long-term programs. Otherwise, you'll have to use separate powder and rinse aid. On the other hand, it'll probably be cheaper this way, but that will become clear over time.

I've washed dishes in various dishwashers: Bosch, Siemens, Mile. So I know firsthand that a dishwasher's performance depends largely on salt, rinse aid, detergent, and properly arranged dishes in the baskets. As for pots, no other machine has ever been able to remove limescale. Hansa cleans just as well as expensive dishwashers. It removes grease, and the dishes sparkle.

Personally, I like the lower basket and the pleasant lighting. It's a shame that you can't use 3-in-1 products on the short cycle. Drying isn't perfect, and the machine's bodywork leaves much to be desired. I give this model a 4 out of 5 stars, with reliability expected for five years of trouble-free operation.

My dishwasher is a little over a year old, and it brings joy to the whole family. I'll note that it looks different in person than in the photo on Yandex. It's a good, quiet dishwasher, economical in consumption, and has a large capacity. The end-of-cycle sound isn't annoying. The drying function isn't great, but it's serviceable.

Grinenko Olesya, Yekaterinburg

This dishwasher's price matches its functionality and reliability. It cleans dishes perfectly on all programs. The spoon and fork basket is excellent, but the drying isn't perfect. But I recommend it!

Alexander, Zeya

I have mixed feelings about this dishwasher; even the silver color isn't great. If you can't do better, this one will do. That's my opinion. The build quality is good. But how would I rate the cleaning performance? It seems to clean, but it leaves a residue on the pans. My friends don't have this problem. There's a bright backlight, but it's not clear what it's for, just like in a refrigerator. It's quiet! It doesn't dry the dishes, and the tablets didn't dissolve a couple of times.

Voliren, Ulyanovsk

I would recommend this machine because it's energy efficient and inexpensive. I have no complaints about the build quality. It has convenient baskets and a cutlery tray, and it operates quietly. The downsides are that it doesn't always remove burnt food from the pans, and plastic utensils don't dry well.

Lyudmila Z., Noyabrsk

I really, really liked this dishwasher. It washes well, even dirty dishes, even though I use tablets. It uses little water and is quiet. It's easy to store forks and spoons. Overall, I didn't notice any drawbacks, and I recommend it to everyone.

Hello everyone! I decided to share my impressions of the dishwasher that eliminated manual labor on the forum. The main criteria for choosing it were cleaning quality and noise level. I chose the Hansa dishwasher at the Eldorado store. Here's what's available:

• 6 programs lasting from 40 to 165 minutes;
• three sliding shelves and two sprinklers;
• capacity 9 sets;
• leakproof and childproof;
• the ability to use 3 in 1 tablets.

Overall, I liked the machine. I turn it on at night and don't hear anything. Good luck with your purchases!

Anbricuss, Yekaterinburg

The annual hot water outages in our area led my husband and I to buy a new appliance every year. Last year, it was a Hansa dishwasher. Since then, we've realized that:

• It washes well, many thanks to the manufacturer;
• It looks attractive, there was no space allocated for it in the kitchen in advance, but nevertheless, it fits perfectly;
• It has some nice features, even though it's a budget model, such as a backlight and a cutlery tray;
• uses resources economically;
• indestructible.

I decided to use it to wash potatoes in season, following some advice. It was absolutely horrendous, and over time, it all washed out. But I'm telling you, don't make that mistake. I'm happy with everything about this machine; I haven't found any downsides.

Negative

Lee Serg, Vladivostok

I'm dissatisfied with my Hansa appliance because I had to send it in for repairs. The problem was a broken door latch. The service center refused to repair it, claiming it was my fault. A repair without a warranty would have cost between $40 and $70. But that didn't satisfy me, so I decided to take a look inside myself. Using a special screwdriver I bought for $1.50, I unscrewed the door and discovered that the latch had simply come off. I put everything back in place, and it worked again. Every six months, I have to replace the latch because it doesn't latch properly—a common issue with this manufacturer.

Rusakova Natasha, St. Petersburg

The advantages of a quiet wash and a pleasant design are outweighed by a major drawback. The most important thing is that the machine washes dishes with difficulty and takes a very long time to do so. Most of the programs are long. I'm shocked I wasted money on a useless appliance. Even the most expensive detergent and proper arrangement of dishes don't help. I ran the dishwasher for 60 minutes several times with the same dishes. In the end, the dishes still weren't washed. I had to wash them by hand!

You can wash all the dishes in 15 minutes that the washing machine couldn't handle in 2.5 hours. Overall, it's a complete disappointment.

Voronin Maxim

I expected a lot from the machine, but ended up disappointed, although I hadn't experienced this with the Hansa before. The dishes only wash in the "pot" mode, which lasts 160 minutes. All other programs leave much to be desired. EvenBosch SPV30E40RU dishwasher It cleans much better at 50 degrees. For some reason, the tablets often fall out of the compartment, get stuck in a corner, and don't dissolve completely during the entire wash. I've used tablets from different manufacturers. It's also worth noting that a lot depends on the arrangement of the dishes. I've never encountered this before. Finally, the instructions are poorly described, and there's not enough information. In conclusion, I don't recommend this to anyone.

sangrand1, Sevastopol

It's a shame the dishwasher didn't live up to expectations. It's noisy, and most importantly, it doesn't clean dishes well, which is obvious even from the outside. It's clearly a shady Chinese assembly. Don't buy it!
