4 Best De’Longhi Dishwashers: Narrow, Dryer and More

Delonghi is an Italian brand specializing in the production of household and air conditioning equipment. We will find out what models of De longhi dishwashers are on the market and why they are interesting to the consumer.

What is known about Delonghi dishwashers?

Italian dishwashers De longhi are valued not only for their functionality and visual appeal, but also for the efficient use of all types of resources. Machines of this brand save their owners not only the time spent on washing dishes, but also resources – water and electricity. We will find out where these machines are assembled and how they differ from their own kind.

Who is the manufacturer?

Delonghi is known to have many factories around the world. In addition to Italy, there are still a lot of factories where Delonghi brand household appliances are produced. The enterprises where dishwashers (PMM) are assembled are located in Italy. But this is not 100% reliable information. Today, manufacturers easily transfer the production of equipment to countries with cheaper labor. So, Delonghi has factories in Russia, China, Hungary and Romania.

It is alleged that dishwashers are assembled in factories in Italy. The manufacturer claims that its dishwashers embody “true Italian quality” (quote). DeLonghi-branded built-in appliances are also manufactured under license by Fisher & Paykel.

Features of Delonghi dishwashers

Models from “Delongi” differ:

• High energy efficiency. If you are looking at energy consumption, then when buying household appliances, pay attention to the energy class. If you don’t want to overpay for electricity, look for models with class A. Many Delonghi cars have an even higher class – A ++. This technique is extremely energy efficient.
• Efficient water use. Thoroughly washing the dishes, the machine does not waste a single drop of water.
• Convenient management. The device is controlled by touch buttons. All actions are shown on the display.

 Features of dishwashers De longhi:

• Almost all new models are equipped with touch buttons and a digital display.
• There are a large number of programs – for different dishes.
• There are half load, intensive and economical washing modes.
• There is a sound signal – to notify users of the end of the program.
• A leak protection function is provided – if the hose is damaged, the system blocks the flow of water.
• A fuse is installed – protects the device from current overloads.
• Almost silent operation – you can easily turn on the equipment at night.
• The delayed start function improves ease of use. You can set the start time in advance – so that the dishes are washed by the appointed time.
• There are self-cleaning filters.

Overview of models and consumer reviews

The manufacturer offers three versions of built-in dishwashers:

A set of dishes is understood as a set of about 6 items (there are different versions of the calculation). Usually the set includes: a soup plate, a flat plate, a saucer, a salad bowl, a cup, a spoon and a fork.

Advantages:

• Can be purchased at an affordable price.
• Economical and roomy.
• There is a water purity sensor.

Disadvantages:

• There is no automatic water hardness indicator.
• The user makes claims about the material of the tank – it is allegedly not stainless steel. But the manufacturer indicates that the inner surface of the device is stainless steel. Note that if there are elements in the composition of stainless steel that create a special protective film on the surface of the steel, then the magnets may not be attracted. Another user also claims that the tank is made from an alloy. Such reviews make you think about the quality of the device.
• Makes a lot of noise while washing. It seems that “there is no sound insulation.”
• Buttons beep badly.
• The basket mechanism does not work well – it does not slide normally on the sled.
• During start-up, the no-salt lamp lights up – even if it has just been poured there.
• Heavily overpriced.

The use of tablet detergents “3 in 1” is provided. The device is equipped with a tray for cutlery and a holder for glasses.

Condensation drying is carried out due to the effect of temperature difference or condensation. It is an economical process based on the natural laws of physics. Pros – no need to waste electricity, no noise.

Narrow PMMs differ from full-size counterparts only in width. Narrow models have a width of 45 cm. If there is no extra space in the kitchen, it is better to limit yourself to the narrow version.

Advantages of DDW06S Cristallo ultimo:

• The machine is equipped with indicators for the presence of salt and rinse aid. Internal surfaces are made of stainless steel.

Disadvantages:

• It is not very convenient to put cutlery in the upper tray – it takes longer to insert one spoon-fork into special slots.
• It is necessary to arrange the utensils correctly, taking into account its dimensions. If, for example, large plates are placed on the left side, they prevent the powder from washing out – the quality of washing decreases. But, in fact, these are not even shortcomings, but features of each PMM.
• On the washed products, plaque and stains remain. Poor washing when using tablets. The user found a way out by putting the tablet not in the tray, but right inside the machine.
• The lid of the detergent tray is not movable, but reclining – when fully loaded, high plates cannot be placed opposite each other – the powder will not fall into the sink.

There is a cheaper version of the narrow PMM – DDW06S Brilliant, you can buy it for about 19 rubles.
