Hansa ZWM 646 WEH Dishwasher Reviews

The spacious ZWM 646 WEH freestanding dishwasher impresses with its performance. It can wash 14 standard place settings at once using just 12 liters of water. But to find out how well it performs, it's worth asking users, because who better than them can truly appreciate the performance of this household helper?

Men's opinion

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase of the Hansa dishwasher. It definitely saves water and time, too. I don't think we use it very often because we don't have time to accumulate dishes. That's about once every two days. Over the course of using it, we've discovered the following advantages:

• works quietly;
• holds a lot of dishes;
• there is a special tray for spoons and forks instead of a large basket;
• availability of 3 in 1 function;
• an optimal set of programs for different types of dishes;
• the presence of attractive LED backlighting;
• there is a child lock;
• You can pre-soak the dishes.

Its drawback is that dishes sometimes don't dry completely. But this is most likely the user's fault, as they don't want to wait a little while after the wash cycle, opening the door to dry. My wife is happy with the appliance, and that's the main thing.

I recommend this dishwasher! It looks attractive, holds a lot of dishes and operates quietly. Well, it doesn't dry the dishes completely, but that's not a big deal.

Disappointed with the purchase, as after three washes it appeared error E4Now it won't turn on at all. It looks okay, it washes well, but the build quality is terrible.

Women's opinion

It's not always possible to fill a full load of dishes in a day, as we only have three people in the family, so we run it every other day. I've tried washing different glassware, including crystal, with perfect results. All my relatives and guests have noticed the sparkling stemware. I was looking for a dishwasher with specific parameters:

• the presence of a lock, since my daughter is still small;
• half load;
• large size, as the kitchen allows;
• The presence of pre-soaking, as it turned out later, is a useless function; an additional rinse would have been better.

Overall, the Hansa dishwasher met these criteria. It has a wide range of features, even compared to more expensive models. It's a decent option. However, there are a few minor drawbacks: the 3-in-1 function doesn't work on the hourly cycle. I don't like the detergent because it leaves a smell. It took me a while to adjust the salt and rinse aid settings, and they left streaks. Now everything is fine, and I recommend using this dishwasher instead of your hands. I hope you found my review helpful.

I've been using this dishwasher for almost a year. Two bolts on the bottom of the chamber rusted very quickly. Compared to a Bosch, it's very quiet, only about 10 dB, but the difference is noticeable. Ideal results are only achieved on the intensive wash mode, and it's best to load the dishwasher halfway. Yes, the process takes about three hours, but at least everything is clean. Of course, the high temperature will eventually wear off the patterns on the dishes. But at 40 degrees Celsius, you only need a small load to get everything clean. Overall, I'm happy with the quality.

I like the cutlery and wine glass attachments. But it's awkward to place deep plates. The controls are simple: three clicks and it works. Competitors' dishwashers are considerably more expensive.

I bought this dishwasher online for my dacha so I wouldn't have to wash dishes with cold water, especially after a big dinner. This little helper exceeded my expectations. I can easily put away all the dishes and wash the cauldrons. Instead of a basket for spoons and forks, it has a tray, which is very economical. Compared to the Electrolux I have at home, it works quietly.

It's great that you can wash a wok and baking sheets in the dishwasher—everything fits, and I'm so happy. The capacity allows you to store dishes for two days. And on the weekend, after cooking, you can wash everything in one go. It works almost silently and does its job well.

It is possible to add dishes after the wash has started; simply stop the process and open the door.

Manufacturers have finally saved space by removing the bulky plastic basket and adding a cutlery tray. As for the drawbacks, I have only one: the confusing instructions, which are illegible on how to adjust the salt and rinse aid levels.

We finally got the burnt baking sheets clean. And it's all thanks to the dishwasher the salesperson recommended. However, the dishwasher didn't quite clean the pot I was boiling dumplings in. Perhaps I set it up incorrectly or used a low-quality detergent. You can hear the pump making noise when filling with water. But despite these drawbacks, I like the dishwasher. Don't hesitate about the size; if you have space in your kitchen, get a larger one. Forget about hand washing!

After some time, I came to the conclusion that for best results, you need to arrange your dishes carefully and choose a proper dishwashing detergent. The cleaning results can vary depending on the type of dishware. It's a bit annoying when the dishes aren't completely dry and the dishwasher itself is wet. I have to open it to dry it.

I liked the look of the Hansa, the lighting, and the convenient baskets. You can use the half-load mode for light loads. It cleans well and runs quietly. I was happy with the purchase, but after 10 days of use, the drain pan started making a humming noise and the machine started vibrating. I'll have to arrange delivery to a service center; I can't take it home myself. It's a shame it broke so quickly.

I loved the dishwasher because it cleans dishes so well, they squeak. It's a great option for a family with five kids. It holds a lot of dishes and saves water. I use half a tablet per cycle. I didn't notice any downsides, and the fact that the dishes are left a little damp didn't bother me. I'm very happy with the purchase; it's an indispensable appliance in the house. I recommend it to everyone!!!

This is a fantastic appliance! We've gotten rid of a mountain of dishes in the sink. It's perfect for a family with three kids. I load all the dishes that have accumulated during the day in the evening after dinner. The results are excellent. I use the main cycle most often. My husband and I are thrilled with this little miracle; it's a must-have. Get it – you won't regret it!

I had to put off buying this miracle for ten years, for various reasons, including financial ones. We have a small family—two adults and two children—but the dishes pile up, and I'm tired of washing them by hand. On top of that, I work late, leaving very little time for the kids. On weekends, I try to cook more and more delicious meals, which means the dishes pile up. A dishwasher has become a necessity. The main criteria for choosing a dishwasher were:

• cost within $250;
• capacity of at least 14 sets
• and economy.

Our kitchen is large, so we didn’t think about the size of the dishwasher.

We chose the white Hansa, which looks very stylish in our interior. It's very large inside, with a separate cutlery basket. We only use three of the six programs. We washed all the dishes in the house in the first week. The design on some plates came off due to the hot water, but that's not a big deal. There was still some carbon deposits on the pans here and there, but they came off easily when I wiped them off with a sponge. In short, this is an indispensable item for me.

It's strange, but it was the young man who talked me into buying a dishwasher. We were initially considering compact cars, but after reading the forums, we decided to get a larger one. And we realized we made the right decision. Now we have more free time. And importantly, the dishes are much cleaner than after washing by hand. You don't have to worry about wasting energy; it uses little. We like the separate rack for spoons and forks. The baskets fit everything perfectly: pots, a baking sheet, two frying pans, as well as plates and mugs. Basically, the machine runs at night, and we sleep without a word. We're happy to have such a thing!
