Overview of models and reviews about them

The manufacturer offers PMM with a width of:

• 60 cm – full-size;
• 45 cm – narrow.

The range includes both built-in and free-standing machines. In all offered PMM — condensation drying. Consider the most popular models from Zanussi.

The condensation type of drying is based on natural physical processes. Compared to a turbo dryer, this option is less expensive, but it requires timely opening of the door so that the dishes do not become wet again.

All offered models have convenient control. Programs are selected with a rotary switch. Some machines have touch buttons.

Zanussi ZDS 12002 WA – narrow

Spacious PMM with condensation drying, designed for 9 sets – this is enough to serve a large family. The machine does not have a display, but there is a delayed start timer, as well as salt and rinse aid indicators. The duration of washing on a regular program is 225 minutes.

One set of dishes consists of 6-7 items – two plates (deep and shallow), cutlery, a salad bowl, a cup and a saucer. A set is a conventional unit that characterizes the capacity of a dishwasher.
