Vestel dishwasher reviews

Vestel dishwashers have long attracted consumers with their low price, decent quality, and a host of features that will impress even the most skeptical. But these are just slogans from advertising brochures; what's the reality? Only users can tell us the truth about this brand's dishwashers, and we'll share their opinions in this article.

CDF 8646 WS

Larisa, Volgograd

I've been using the CDF 8646 WS dishwasher for almost two years now. I bought it cheap, and even on sale, so I didn't really think twice about it. I'll be honest, I bought it purely because of the price; I didn't look at any specifications. I simply looked it over, made sure it was in good working order, and bought it right away. I wouldn't recommend this model to any of my friends or acquaintances because:

• the dishes are washed well only if you add more detergent;
• pots and pans often have to be rewashed, especially if you place them slightly incorrectly;
• the dishes are arranged in a very cunning way, by the time you learn how, you’ll curse everything;
• During the wash, the machine was rattling loudly; my husband solved the problem by placing a rubber mat under the body.

You can also place special anti-vibration pads under the feet of the dishwasher.

I was asked to think about the advantages of this dishwasher model, but nothing other than the price comes to mind. I give this machine a 1 out of 5.

I bought this dishwasher when I was renting an apartment with my girlfriend. We were struggling for a long time, moving frequently, and didn't have much money for expensive appliances. We're quite happy with this one; it's still working hard at our dacha, so I can't say anything bad about it—cheap and cheerful. I recommend it to everyone!

The dishwasher is excellent; I'd still be using it if it weren't for the kitchen renovation. We bought a fully integrated model to go with the new cabinetry and gave this one to my mom. She's been delighted for the past six months, even when we haven't spoken, and she always mentions her new dishwasher. Of course, we used to wash mountains of plates, pans, and baking sheets by hand—it was a nightmare, spending two hours a day on it. It would be better to spend that time with our children and grandchildren.

Overall, I have a lot of good things to say about this dishwasher, except for one minor issue. On the fast cycles, it leaves detergent residue on plates and glasses, so we try to only use the normal cycles.

VDWTC 6041W

Svetlana, St. Petersburg

Now I only regret one thing: that when our children were growing up, there wasn't a washing machine like this in the house. And that I didn't listen to smart people. How many times have I had to treat the skin on my hands with special ointments because chlorine and detergent had left them looking like crow's feet. I won't even mention manicures. My manicurist must have made a fortune, because I couldn't wash dishes with gloves on, and getting my husband to do the washing up was a real saga.

In short, when this dishwasher came into my life, I began to enjoy coming into the kitchen. Now I don't have to worry about what to cook to minimize the mess—I cook for my own pleasure and for the joy of my family. The dishwasher is spacious and holds a lot of dishes. If everything is arranged correctly, the washing quality is excellent, leaving no streaks. Arranging the dishes correctly is probably impossible for anyone to master the first time, but after three or four tries, anyone can master it.

People who wash dishes by hand, listen to me! For a long time, I was skeptical about dishwashers, even laughing at friends who bought them. But now, I've completely changed my mind, and you probably will too if you try using a dishwasher!

Andrey, Novosibirsk

This dishwasher is terrible. I came to this conclusion when I compared it to an old Bosch I had for seven years. It's literally a world apart. It's impossible to wash anything in the new machine unless you position the plates, glasses, and pots at the right angle. The system is completely gimmicky; even a slight misplacement will force you to rewash the dishes. The only good thing is that it actually does wash dishes, and it's not that expensive, so it's a decent machine, worth the money. At least, it does a good job for its price.

The new machine had a very unpleasant smell. The smell disappeared after about a month.

I read on the Internet, it turns out Bosch dishwasher reviews, much better, and I have good experience with this brand's equipment myself. I chose Vestel because I wanted to save a little money. I don't particularly regret it, but I won't do it again.

Alena, Irkutsk

I'd never used a dishwasher before, but a friend and I snagged a VDWTC 6041W on the cheap, and we were both dissatisfied. Firstly, the machines smell terribly of plastic or rubber—a disgusting, pungent odor that still hasn't gone away, even though it's been three months since we bought them. Secondly, the machine doesn’t wash dishes well, and I’m not the only one who thinks so. My friend and I are already playing puzzles together, and we're still trying to figure out how to arrange the dishes to improve the cleaning results, but we're still having trouble. I regret the purchase and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

VDWIT 4514W

Egor, Krasnodar

I'm quite happy with the dishwashing performance, and that's all I need. I'm not particularly concerned about saving energy, water, or any of the bells and whistles. For me, all dishwashers consume roughly the same amount of energy, and even if there are some savings, it won't impact the family budget. If I had to nitpick, I'd point out the following advantages:

• low price;
• good quality of dishwashing;
• the ability to use 3 in 1 tablets;
• narrow;
• you can set a delayed start;
• The body is protected from leaks.

There are some downsides, but I'll say that's just my perspective, and it doesn't really bother me. The machine doesn't have a child safety lock. That's a huge oversight for modern appliances. My friend's little daughter ruined his old washing machine, which also didn't have a child safety lock. Now, when he buys any appliance, the first thing he checks for is a child safety lock. So I've chalked that up as a downside; otherwise, the machine is good.

I'm having bad luck with my appliances. I bought a VDWIT 4514W five months ago and now I'm struggling. I've already taken it to the service center twice, luckily it's still under warranty. I had a huge argument with the salespeople, and now the service department is dragging its feet. First, the electrical system failed, and they replaced the power cord, and everything worked for a week. Then the machine went completely dark and wouldn't even turn on. They said the control module had failed, and they didn't have the parts and didn't know when they'd have them, but they could order one for a hundred dollars and have it fixed within a week. So I'm sitting here wondering what to do; I wish I hadn't bought this pain in the ass!

This dishwasher is beyond praise. I bought it for my grandmother as a gift. She, of course, initially looked at it like a Neanderthal at a spaceship, but quickly got used to it and showers her grandson with words of gratitude, not only for the pies, but also for the cakes. Kudos to the makers of these dishwashers!
