The best Bosch compact dishwashers: rating of models, descriptions, reviews + recommendations for choosing

The kitchen is still the smallest room in the apartment.

And although in new buildings it is clearly more spacious, in Khrushchev, a tiny nook 2 * 2 m is allocated for cooking. Even a minimum of household appliances can hardly fit here.

The compact Bosch dishwasher is a great solution for a small kitchen if the hostess does not want to wash the dishes with her own hands.

The equipment is distinguished by high-quality assembly, it serves for a long time without breakdowns. fits well into the interior.

Key Features

The main difference between compact models and conventional ones is the size. Bosch miniature dishwashers have dimensions: height - 45-55, width - 60 cm. The depth can be different, but it will be possible to fit such a technique into any cabinet.

The compact dishwasher easily includes 6 cutlery sets. But there are also very miniature models that can accommodate no more than 4.

Types of dishwashers

The company offers different types of equipment:

• desktop. The size of such models is not much larger than a large microwave. Nevertheless, such dishwashers are able to wash 4 cups at a time, the same number of plates, forks, spoons and knives.
• outdoor. This technique is more impressive in size and is hardly suitable for very tiny kitchens. But it fits 6 sets of dishes. Height fits under the sink
• freestanding and built-in. You can choose the appropriate option depending on the design of the kitchen.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of dishwashers regardless of the company:

• Do not take up much space. 45 centimeters wide can be found in any kitchen.
• No need to wash dishes by hand. Although here who is used to what. Putting a frankly greasy frying pan or a cauldron with burnt pilaf in the dishwasher is a so-so pleasure. Whether the machine will cope with this is unknown. Although the manufacturer promises perfectly clean dishes without problems.
• Quiet operation. Unlike models of standard sizes, minis make almost no noise - you can’t hear them in the next room.
• Functionality. It is exactly the same as in full-size dishwashers.
• Sufficient capacity. It is enough for everyday washing dishes.

Specific features of Bosch dishwashers:

• protection of glassware from temperature shock - there is a heat exchanger;
• protection of any dishes from the appearance of mineral deposits and scale - there is a system for adjusting water hardness;
• door lock - children will not be able to open it and get burned;
• electric blocking of the control panel - the child will not be able to reprogram the machine during its operation.

There are two disadvantages of mini-dishwashers:

• they are expensive - as much as full-size ones;
• they wash a small amount of dishes at a time - however, these are the costs of compactness.

Bosch has compact dishwashers designed for 10 place settings. This capacity was achieved due to the fact that the car "grew up" and became taller than its compact counterparts.

How to choose and what to look for?

When choosing, be guided by the following tips:

• capacity. For daily use, 4 sets of dishes are enough.
• Cleaning class. There are three of them: A, B, C. Bosch dishwashers are only class A, which means that the device produces perfectly clean dishes without a hint of contamination.
• Water consumption. On average, miniature models consume 8 liters - this is the most economical option (class A), at least half as much as when washing dishes by hand. There are also classes B (up to 20 liters) and C (over 20 liters). With a large flow of water, electricity consumption increases.
• Drying. In Bosch compact dishwashers, it is convection, so there is not much to choose from.
• Energy consumption. There are 6 classes - A, B, C, D, E, G, where A is economical, G is the most uneconomical. Manufacturers are trying to improve their technology. In particular, Bosch often produces dishwashers of the A + energy class. The more pluses, the less electricity the device consumes. For example, an A+++ model consumes 50% less electricity than a similar one, but class A.
• Connection type. The dishwasher can only be connected to cold water supply or both cold and hot. For Russia, it is better to choose the first type. Poor quality water often flows from a hot tap, which will quickly disable equipment.
• Number of programs. Many mistakenly believe that the more, the better. For everyday use, 4 is enough - for heavily, medium (standard wash), lightly soiled dishes and express.
• Control type. Electromechanical - the most reliable, but outdated. In Bosch dishwashers, as a rule, electronic control.
• Noise level. The smallest you can find on sale is 38 dB. The optimal 44-48 dB, 54 dB is already too much, especially if you plan to use the equipment in the evening or at night.
• Leak protection. It happens partial - when the pallet is full, the device turns off, and full - it works when the hose breaks or when a lot of water has accumulated inside the machine.
• Door lock during work.
• Filter – normal or self-cleaning.
• Lighting. It doesn't seem like a very important feature. However, when the light is on, loading the machine is much easier.

Bosch manufactures mainly full-size dishwashers, as well as high-capacity dishwashers.

But you can find miniature models among their products.
