Buyers are accustomed to the fact that the highest quality dishwashers are necessarily assembled in Italy and Germany. Housewives dream of expensive Bosch, Siemens or Miele. But new brands appear, create products cheaper and no worse in build quality and functionality than the brands mentioned above. These include the Vestel dishwasher.
From our review, you will learn basic information about the company, get acquainted with popular models and get access to real user reviews.
Brand information
Vestel (Vestel) combines 19 companies at once, scattered around the world. The head office is located in Turkey (Manisa), and the factories are located in different countries of the world.
Today, this company is a leader among European manufacturers, producing not only large and small household appliances, but also electronics. All Vestel products are accompanied by ISO 9001 certificates, therefore, along with other brands, they are represented not only in all European countries, but also in the United States.
Since 2003, Vestel has located its enterprise in Russia. Now, at the facilities located in the city of Alexandrov, Vladimir Region, they manufacture televisions, refrigeration equipment, washing machines and dishwashers. All products manufactured at domestic factories are intended exclusively for the domestic market.
Important! In March 2016, the RIA Novosti news agency published a message stating that due to the economic crisis in Turkey, it was decided to close the Vestel-SNG plant in Aleksandrov. At the moment, the company’s website is functioning, but the latest news was published in December last year. The lineup has been significantly narrowed, and the products presented on the site, as indicated in the footnote, are processed by another online store.
Nevertheless, the Vestel equipment is on sale (presumably not of the Russian assembly), so there will be a review of the models.

User Reviews
Andrey, Voronezh
I liked it. Not the cheapest of all Vestel products, which is why I took it. It hasn’t been renovated in 2 years. I dug into the instructions for a long time, because I didn’t know how to turn on the machine – fortunately, everything is written in Russian. There are enough programs, I connected it myself without any masters. The wife calmed down and no longer climbs with stupid questions, is it my turn to wash the dishes. The only negative: the salt indicator is constantly on, although there is enough of it, maybe the fact is that the granules are too large? Another disadvantage is that, in my opinion, we will forever forget how to wash dishes with our hands (just kidding).
Oleg, Vladimir
I liked the car for the price. The Russian assembly was not embarrassing – after all, fellow countrymen assembled it. Functionality suits. The kit included all the hoses needed to connect. In the process of operation, I nevertheless discovered the minuses: the body is poorly fitted, frail. Another machine is noisy, and quite loud. On the bottom shelf, plate holders do not fold, and on the top basket, for some reason, there is a folding shelf on one side. Considering that I took it to the country, for such money I have no complaints.
VDWIT 4514W
Narrowed stand-alone washing machine, which holds 2 less dishes than the previous one, is ready to wash 10 sets in one cycle. The highest drying and washing classes ensure the excellent efficiency of this model. Energy efficiency class A+. For convenience, the control has a display, and for safety – a parental control function (preventing accidental pressing of buttons by children). The design includes a flow type water heater. Water consumption per cycle – 13 liters.
Of the 7 programs, users noted “Intensive”, “Fast”, “Delicate”, “BIO”, “Economy” and “Preliminary”. Drying condensation. 4 temperature settings. There is a half load.
Features:
- delayed start;
- partial protection against leaks;
- special equipment indicators;
- stainless steel surface of the hopper inside;
- adjustable basket;
- extra rinse function.
There is no automatic setting of water hardness, there is no sound signal announcing the end of the cycle. At the same time, some shortcomings are compensated by the availability of a cost of 20 rubles.
User Reviews
Irina, Penza
Everywhere it says that this machine does not work with 3-in-1 tablets. This is not so: I put it, and the instructions also indicate that capsules can be used. The machine washes well, but there is not enough blocking the door from children – the door is just difficult to open, but you can’t call it a blocking, I don’t know why it is indicated everywhere that there is protection – maybe I don’t know how to turn it on? I took the car in November 2016 for 19 rubles at a discount, but it was still a little expensive for me personally. Although with such characteristics, I still think that this is a good purchase.
Arina, St. Petersburg
Washes well, I like that there is a high temperature mode at 70 degrees. There is no detergent in the kit, they could have put it in – I saw in the store that many put a sampler as a gift. Therefore, buy detergent in advance, otherwise a test run will not work.
The main drawback: I did not find the logo of a cool company on the front panel. It is written that some kind of Vestel 😉
In general, seriously, they wanted to take Bosch from the budget line or Indesit up to 20 thousand. But stumbled upon this machine. At that time, there were not even reviews, so they took it at their own peril and risk. Now we are writing reviews ourselves – buy, and do not be afraid of anything. To buy a good machine, it is not necessary to overpay 10-20 thousand for a beautiful logo of a German company.
So, the products of the Turkish brand VESTEL are modern and functional household appliances, which are not inferior to many well-known companies in terms of economy and efficiency. Everyone will be able to choose a dishwasher of any type of embedding to suit their needs and budget. Good luck choosing!
