Rating of dishwashers for summer cottages

Used appliances are usually "moved" to the dacha. When a new washing machine, microwave oven, or vacuum cleaner is purchased, the old ones are immediately "written off" and transported to the countryside. This "trick" doesn't work with dishwashers.

When it comes to dishwashers, few people have an old, working appliance at home. So, they have to be purchased. We present a ranking of the best dishwashers for a summer house. These are budget-friendly units that have proven their reliability and efficiency.

Criteria for choosing a country house dishwasher

What kind of appliances are usually chosen for installation in a summer house? Inexpensive and compact. It's these kinds of dishwashers that are recommended for special consideration.

Why should a dishwasher be compact? Such a dishwasher is easier to load into a car and take out of town. A compact appliance will also take up less space at the dacha, which is important, as summer houses are usually not very spacious.

This compact dishwasher is perfect for seasonal use. It handles several place settings perfectly. Larger items, like pots and pans, can easily be cleaned by hand.

Why is it so important for the device to be transportable? You can't leave the dishwasher at your dacha during the cold season. And it's not a matter of theft. The car simply might not survive sub-zero temperatures.

It's unlikely you'll be able to completely dry out your dishwasher. Water will remain in the hoses, which will turn to ice in winter. This moisture can easily rupture not only the hoses but also the circulation pump. Therefore, winterizing your dishwasher at your dacha is not recommended.

For a summer house, it's best to choose a compact tabletop dishwasher—then there won't be any problems with transporting it.

The best models for a summer house

If you decide to install a dishwasher in your dacha, you need to consider where the machine will get its water supply. If there's no running water, you'll need a special pump that can generate sufficient pressure. Otherwise, the dishwasher won't function properly.
