An affordable machine, I appreciated its efficiency, I especially like the stylish design of the panel – it is very convenient to use it, since the previous one was completely sewn into the kitchen. I have only had the machine for the third month, but I have already managed to wash a mountain of dirty dishes. I have no complaints – I even washed pots and pans, and ceramic and glass plates creak directly. I finally forgot about the tea and coffee raid on white cups. I noticed a significant savings in detergent – I load only half the tablet, sometimes a fourth, if you just need to rinse the “fresh” dishes.

All my life I dreamed of not washing dishes with my hands. And so it happened – I took this novelty in installments in a supermarket. It is much cheaper than models from well-known brands, and the functionality rolls over. To say that she is cool is to say nothing. Washes and dries great! Dishes shine and creak. A bunch of programs, modes and functions, using a dishwasher is a pleasure. There were technical smells on the first launches, but quickly disappeared. I especially like the fact that the panel with buttons on the outside – my friends have built-in cars, and in order to press the buttons, you need to open the door all the time. And here everything is in full view – you can see when the process ends. I recommend to all.
As you can see, this configuration of the PMM with an open panel quickly and successfully found a response from users due to its convenient operation. If you want to get such a model, select the appropriate parameters, brand, functionality and go shopping!
