Reviews of the Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher

The Korting brand is well known to consumers in Europe and the CIS. Dishwashers, for example, are produced under this brand primarily in the mid- to high-end price ranges, so they are traditionally purchased by affluent consumers who value good appliances. The Korting KDI 45165 built-in dishwasher is the manufacturer's attempt to penetrate a previously unknown lower price category, introducing less affluent consumers to Korting quality. Whether this is successful or not remains to be seen.

Newbies

I bought and installed a Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher two weeks ago and want to share my impressions and thank the salespeople who recommended this wonderful machine to me. All my dishes that have been through the dishwasher seem to have been renewed, without a trace of dirt, soot, or anything else. Of course, the expenses have increased, there is salt and detergent, but it is worth it, because for a relatively small amount of money I have acquired real comfort.

Add to this soft skin on your hands and a flawless manicure, and you don’t even have to stand half-bent over the sink.

I got myself a Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher for my birthday and didn't use it for two days. Some electronic component broke, so I had to take it apart, take it back to the store, and replace it with a new one. This time, I decided against a Korting dishwasher, as I wasn't very impressed, and went with an Electrolux. For some reason, I think I'll have no problems with it.

Sergey, Tolyatti

I'm a professional installer of washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters. I know a lot about this equipment firsthand and have a lot of interesting things to share, having worked in this field for almost 10 years. You might be surprised, but I somehow managed without a dishwasher because, after my divorce, I lived alone and didn't dirty enough dishes to accumulate them for the dishwasher. A couple of months ago, I finally decided to buy one and, after weighing all the pros and cons, settled on the Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher. Why this particular machine?

• Attaching the front panel to the dishwasherThis brand is very easy to manufacture. The fastenings are secure, and there's no need to adjust anything.
• The dishwasher is completely leak-proof and has a delayed start, which is a big deal for me. I'm often away from home for long periods of time, usually just a couple of hours and then running out again. So, I have to set the machine to a delayed start, so it runs when no one's home.

It's best not to let your dishwasher run unattended. If you must leave it running alone, it should be completely leak-proof.

• The machine's body is very high-quality, made of high-quality stainless steel. The material is thick enough to ensure long-lasting durability.
• High-quality, transformable dish baskets that allow you to organize even large kitchen utensils.
• High quality washing.

I probably won't sing this model's praises right away; I'll have to use it for at least a year, but I think I've bought a decent machine. I'll write another review in ten months, share my impressions, and maybe I'll reconsider my opinion.

More than six months of experience

Elena, Moscow

This is my very first dishwasher, and I'm incredibly happy with it. I bought it eight months ago at my mom's insistence, though I chose the brand and model myself almost at random. I needed a built-in model because I was also remodeling the kitchen. I settled on the Korting KDI 45165 because it's relatively inexpensive and German-made. During my time of use, I did not find any significant drawbacks. The only problem is that the top basket doesn't come out, and the instructions aren't very informative. I can't understand anything from them, so I have to learn to use the machine myself.

The Korting KDI 45165 is a good dishwasher, but it has one significant drawback that I recently discovered, even though I've been using it for six months. The detergent dispenser lid doesn't open properly. Quite often, the lid remains tightly closed during washing, preventing the tablet from dissolving, significantly reducing cleaning performance. And how can you expect quality if the dishes are washed in clean water without detergent? I'm not sure what to do yet, but I can't continue using the dishwasher like this.

Konstantin, Moscow

This is probably the best dishwasher I've ever used. I was delighted with it even during installation, as it fit seamlessly into the kitchen cabinetry, and it connected effortlessly. It's roomy, cleans dishes perfectly, and alerts you when you're done washing with a beam of light shining onto the floor. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

The Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher operates much quieter than other household dishwashers.

More than a year of experience

Karina, Omsk

I've been using dishwashers for over 15 years and have a lot of respect for them. My very first one was a Bosch, but I sold it because it was outdated, even though it was still working perfectly. I had no complaints about it, anyway. Then I bought a narrow built-in Electrolux dishwasher and used it for a long time. It's truly a great dishwasher; I would have bought an Electrolux replacement, but a mechanic I knew talked me out of it, saying their quality had gotten worse.

Finally, two years ago, I bought a Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher. My overall impression is quite positive. It's certainly not the best machine, but it's quite decent. I'm especially pleased with the dishwashing performance. If you choose the right detergent, any dish will always sparkle. I really like the design, the beautiful lighting, the informative display, and the range of programs. And of course, I was delighted with the price; for that price, the machine has a fantastic range of options!

Evgeniy, Irkutsk

The narrow, spacious Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher immediately caught my eye in the store, and I, a fool, was lured by the pretty picture. As soon as the warranty expired, the circulation pump failed and some other problems developed with the electronics. There didn't seem to be a power surge, but I don't know what caused it; I'll call a repairman. Overall, the machine is not bad, but there are obvious issues with the quality of the components. If I could turn back time, I would buy something different.

Kristina, Moscow

I bought the Korting KDI 45165 almost two years ago and have no complaints. It works very well, is quiet, has a 21st-century design, and is loaded with all sorts of technical features. It holds a wide variety of dishes. When it's time to wash, I put almost all the dishes in the house in the baskets, and everything is clean in about an hour. I recommend this model to everyone!

Here are some opinions from consumers with varying experiences using the Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher. We hope you find this information helpful. Good luck!

   Svetlana:

   Bought a Korting KDI 45165 dishwasher? I was disappointed after six months. The baskets started rusting and metal was falling out. Now there's a new problem. Where can I buy new baskets? I don't recommend it!
