When choosing appliances for the kitchen, the user should pay attention not only to the functions and programs, but also to the equipment of the camera. It depends on this whether it will be convenient to place the dishes. The dishwasher basket should be able to hold as many utensils as you need to wash at one time, otherwise you will have to repeat the washing cycle. Consider what is included in the dishwasher.
Types and features of baskets for appliances
The standard equipment of a dishwasher of any brand (Beko, Whirlpool, Siemens, Hansa) includes:
- Retractable boxes on rollers for placing tableware. These are the lower baskets in which you can put large items (pots, pans, baking sheets).
- Special trays for glasses, mugs, glasses.
- Compartments for plates (cassettes).
It turns out that the standard equipment of Ariston, Electrolux, Bosch is equipped with two compartments (for plates and cups), additional trays for cups and glasses.
What are the functions of boxes?
- The upper basket, in addition to placing mugs, protects fragile products from damage – it has clamps. It can be adjusted in height and secured with special holders. Removable elements inside allow you to wash large items.
- Lower basket. Plates, dishes, bowls are placed in it. In some machines, the elements for the cutlery are collapsible, so pans can be placed. Rollers, wheels for the basket make it easier to load dirty dishes, since it is possible to push and slide the basket.
The Vario Flex Plus system in Bosch dishwashers allows you to find a place for any dishes. Three shelves recline in both the upper and lower compartments – you can rationally place the devices.
What you should pay attention to when choosing:
- Material. It must be durable, wear-resistant, heat-resistant.
- If it is plastic, then it is durable and environmentally friendly.
- Compartments should be equipped with holders for delicate products.
- Presence of rollers for easy loading.
- The ability to adjust the trays and change the space in the chamber.
