Reviews of the Hansa ZWM 416 WH dishwasher

The narrow freestanding Hansa ZWM 416 WH dishwasher has been a bestseller in many online stores for years. Why? We suspect it's the low price and high quality of this appliance, but that's just our guess. Only the consumer can truly explain why this machine is so appealing. So, let's hear from owners of these dishwashers.

A few words about the machine's characteristics

The Hansa ZWM 416 WH dishwasher is a simple, narrow unit that holds 9 place settings. While it's virtually impossible to integrate into existing cabinetry, it will look quite seamless if placed between cabinets or other kitchen cabinetry.

Despite being made in China, the quality of the materials is quite acceptable. Specifically, the wash chamber is made of high-quality stainless steel, while the spray arms and other components are made of high-quality plastic that doesn't emit unpleasant odors. The dish baskets are conveniently located and easy to use. The ZWM 416 WH also boasts:

There is also a special tray for cutlery.

1. The presence of six washing programs, each of which is in demand by users.
2. The presence of a half load, which will help save water and energy if you wash a small amount of dishes.
3. The presence of a modern dispenser that recognizes different types of products, including 3-in-1 products.
4. The presence of a leak protection system that will stop the machine in time if an emergency occurs.

That's not all. There's a simple yet reliable indicator system that promptly alerts the user when salt and rinse aid are running low. A loud and clear beep alerts the user when the wash cycle is complete. This dishwasher doesn't have a forced drying feature, but it's not necessary, as the chamber is designed so that dishes dry automatically, without any additional energy consumption.

It's also worth mentioning that this dishwasher uses about 9 liters of water per wash cycle, which is quite good. It's also quite quiet, with the manufacturer claiming a maximum noise level of 49 dB, compared to 55 or even 60 dB for much more expensive models. Energy consumption is 0.69 kWh, with a power output of approximately 1900 W.

Consumer opinions

I bought three dishwashers of this model at once: one for myself, one for my mom, and one for my mother-in-law. All three work great, no complaints. If only it had a display with a timer and a child safety lock, this machine would be priceless. Well, that's just wishful thinking. In fact, for such a small price, even the available features are very good. I also want to say a few words about capacity. The instructions say it fits 9 place settings. I think I crammed more in, but the cleaning quality is still excellent. So, I recommend it to everyone!

I've been working in retail for over 10 years, including selling household appliances, so I know a thing or two about dishwashers. My old Bosch dishwasher recently broke down. It had lasted for so many years—I can't even remember when I bought it, but it was indestructible. I decided to sell it for parts and buy a new one. I loved the new machine right away, especially the price.

Then it was pure torture. First, they installed it incorrectly, then I called in qualified technicians, they redid everything, and the dishwasher started working fine again, but the cleaning quality was terrible. My old Bosch washed dishes three times better, even though it was "100 years old." I absolutely hated the new machine, and now I'm wondering what to do with it.

I've been washing dishes in this machine for two months now, and we're thrilled. My wife is the happiest of all; thanks to this machine, she now spends more time on the couch with her knitting needles in hand. Incidentally, the machine isn't advertised as built-in, but I managed to fit it under the countertop by unscrewing the top cover. It worked perfectly, and the best thing is, it doesn't get in the way.

To remove the top cover of the dishwasher, you don't need anything other than a screwdriver; even a child can do it.

Sergey Berman, Moscow

There are four of us in our family: me, my wife, and two daughters. We decided to buy a dishwasher two months ago because the dirty dishes were piling up, and no one wanted to wash them. They just sat there, stinking, in the sink. One day, my wife lost her patience and sent me to the store to buy a dishwasher.

The machine in question has been very useful. Among the advantages, I would like to note the convenient basket for dishes, solid assembly and quiet operation. My brother's dishwasher is much noisier. I haven't found any faults yet, so I give it a five!

Elena Kishmareva, Tolyatti

I've been using my dishwasher relentlessly since the first few days. I run it twice, sometimes even three times a day. I expect the load on the machine to ease in the future, as my visiting relatives will be leaving in a couple of weeks. After three weeks of rigorous use, the machine has proven itself to be excellent, with no sign of a malfunction. It washes dishes sparkling clean, no matter what kind of dishes they are. I sincerely hope it will last for many years.

Ivan, Novosibirsk

I bought a defective one six months ago Electrolux ESl94200lO dishwasher, which I managed to get rid of quickly. I won't trust this company again. I got a cheap Hansa ZWM 416 WH instead and now I'm free. I was so excited I washed all the dishes in the house, I was so eager to try out the new appliance. Now I know what a quality machine is; I'll leave the Europeans to wash their dishes with Electroluxes.

In conclusion, despite the fact that this machine is assembled in China, its quality is not that bad. In fact, consumer reviews of this device are quite positive. Happy shopping!

   Tonya:

   My washing machine seems to be very picky about detergents. Regular Auchan tablets clean perfectly, but everything else is a nightmare, no matter what we've tried. What do you use?
