Hansa ZIM 426EH Dishwasher Reviews

Recently, the Hansa brand has been introducing popular models with narrow bodies and increased capacity. A prime example is the Hansa ZIM 426EH dishwasher, which holds 10 place settings. For example, narrow Bosch dishwashers can hold a maximum of 9 place settings, which isn't all that bad. I'm eager to hear what users think of this machine. You can do that by reading their reviews; we hope they'll shed some light on the matter.

Positive

I spent a long time deciding between a Bosch built-in dishwasher and its exact equivalent, the Hansa ZIM 426EH. There are so many negative things written about Hansa online, it even seems like Bosch supporters are engaging in negative advertising. I finally decided to buy the Hansa ZIM 426EH, and here's why.

1. It has a normal instantaneous water heater, which heats up the water fairly quickly, reducing the overall time it takes to complete the washing program.
2. The machine holds slightly more dishes than competitors' equipment. Of course, it's a small thing, but nevertheless.
3. Hansa has well-made baskets, the sprinklers work well and can be removed for cleaning.
4. My dishwasher has 6 programs, but Bosch only has 4.

I'm especially glad there's a pre-soak mode. Without it, cleaning super-dirty pans and baking sheets would be a challenge.

5. Hansa has all the same bells and whistles as the more expensive models: indicators, a display, a delayed start, and leak protection. Yet it costs significantly less.

In the year I've had my dishwasher, it hasn't let me down once. I think it's just not as well-known a brand as Bosch, which is why competitors are trying to squeeze them out. Personally, I choose Hansa, and I advise other buyers to "get to the root of the matter" and not be fooled!

After retiring, I decided that with my arthritis, dabbling in water every time I washed dishes wasn't an option. I decided to buy a Hansa ZIM 426EH dishwasher. It's a great product. It cleans to a sparkle, especially glass. I couldn't be happier, thanks to the manufacturer!

I was looking for an affordable dishwasher, and the salesperson recommended the Hansa ZIM 426EH. I'd never used a Hansa dishwasher before, but after seeing that 30% of the store shelves were occupied by them, I decided to give it a try. The Hansa hasn't let me down yet, it cleans beautifully, uses minimal detergent, and I can see the savings in water usage. The main thing is that the dishes are spotless, and I don't have to do any extra work. It's fantastic!

I bought this machine a year and a half ago. I love it, no complaints whatsoever. All the parts are sturdy, and the door opens to any position. The baskets can be moved vertically when you need to fit a large pot. It cleans well with half a tablet. I highly recommend it!

My friends decided to give me a bold housewarming gift – a Hansa dishwasher. It's good they asked in advance and didn't want to surprise me. The dishwasher washes dishes perfectly, without any streaks. The tablet dissolves completely, and the glass is crystal clear. In seven months, the dishwasher hasn't broken or chipped a single dish. They've been extremely careful with it, which makes me very happy. I haven't noticed any water or energy savings. I highly recommend it!

Henry, St. Petersburg

I've used a variety of dishwashers, spanning a total of 10 years. I recently bought the Hansa ZIM 426EH. It's a budget model with the features of a more expensive model. So far, I haven't found any issues. It works great, and I can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Negative

Ekaterina, Volgograd

The dishwasher was incredibly noisy after the first start. It sounded like moving parts were catching on something. I checked the spray arms several times, but they definitely couldn't be causing the noise. The next day, I called a repairman. He arrived promptly, but when he started the machine, it broke right before his eyes. Something inside crunched, there was a thumping sound, and the machine froze. I was very scared and upset, but the repairman said he could fix it. So, they took my Hansa to the repair shop, and they've been fixing it for a week now.

Tatiana, Barnaul

I've been using the Hansa ZIM 426EH for three months. I'm not particularly happy with the way it picks up pills. The powder dissolves perfectly, but the tablets dissolve partially at best, which leads to unsatisfactory washing quality. Until I figure out what the problem is, I'm using powder.

Anna, Pskov

My Hansa ZIM 426EH worked fine for the first two weeks. Then the machine started freezing on the pre-soak cycle. I tried avoiding that cycle for about a month, and everything was fine. Recently, the machine started freezing on the express cycle, which I really like. I'm going to have to call the service center; there's no other option!

I read about this malfunction on the Internet, but I didn’t find any interesting information about this breakdown.

Svetlana, Magnitogorsk

After five months of flawless operation, I discovered that The dishwasher is giving me electric shocksMy husband said the installers didn't ground the dishwasher. How could certified professionals forget something as important as grounding? I forbade my husband from touching the Hansa dishwasher and called the technician who installed it to figure it out. I don't want to die from my own dishwasher!
