How to choose a built-in dishwasher 60 cm

Not so long ago, a dishwasher was considered a luxury, and only very wealthy people could boast of it. Today, everything has changed radically, and the dishwasher has become as familiar a technique as a washing machine and a refrigerator. Its convenience and time saving cannot be underestimated, therefore, if you decide to purchase an “assistant”, you are unlikely to regret the purchase. It remains only to choose the right model, buy, connect and use!

We will devote this review to the most common 60 cm dishwashers. In the PMM lines from any manufacturer, a 60 cm wide machine is presented in the largest assortment, so there is plenty to choose from. Consider the features, selection criteria for such machines and offer a rating of popular models. Our tips will help you figure out which machine is the best.

60 cm dishwasher selection criteria

To make the TOP 10 best freestanding dishwashers, it is worth comparing them according to a number of basic characteristics. Often, according to some parameters, the car occupies a leading position in the ratings, and according to others, it is at the very end. Of course, the ideal model has not yet been invented, but from the huge assortment on the home appliances market, you can choose the best option for even the most demanding customer.

Before compiling the TOP cars, let’s look at the criteria by which the models were evaluated.

Dishwashing quality

This is the main parameter for which this technique is bought. Worthless is the price of that PMM, which will not wash the dishes. How to evaluate the quality of the washing process? According to two indicators: the class of washing and drying.

Important! Often manufacturers overestimate the real performance of their products, so you should not completely believe their commercials – you need to additionally familiarize yourself with real customer reviews.

If you need a productive and functional machine, stop at class A – both washing and drying dishes.

Reliability

This characteristic is difficult to assess, and it consists of a number of factors. So, in really reliable models, plastic containers for dishes are unlikely to be present – good manufacturers complete equipment with stainless steel baskets. The same goes for the tank – in a reliable PMM it will be made of high quality metal.

A parameter such as reliability can also be judged by the presence of a system that protects against leaks – it can be either partial or complete. The number of user visits to workshops and repair forums also forms an indicator of reliability.

Cost

This is not the most objective, but often decisive criterion when choosing a 60 cm dishwasher. Every second buyer would not refuse to buy good products at the lowest price. Both low and high prices should confuse you equally.

Important! The price often reflects not the build quality and parts of the PMM, but the popularity of the brand. Even expensive options from well-known brands can break.

Functional

According to this parameter, the machines are divided into two types:

Standard: with a limited set of modes.
Advanced: with a large selection of programs and additional options.

It is not the number of programs and modes that matters, but their usefulness. If you are not going to use even half of the functions offered by the manufacturer, is it worth overpaying for them?

What characteristics to pay attention to

If we check the sales statistics of the leading online stores of household appliances, we can conclude that for a large number of consumers the following parameters of dishwashers are important:

Salt and rinse aid indicators. Customers who have purchased machines without these sensors have difficulty loading detergents.
Leak protection. PMM without “Aqua-Stop” is not taken so actively – not everyone wants to repair the neighbors’ apartment from below if the dishwasher leaks.
Delay start timer for washing dishes at night to save money on electricity.
Compartment for washing tablets 3 in 1.
Notification of the end of the wash with a sound signal or a flashing light.

Dimensions, installation methods and the rating of the manufacturer of potential buyers are much less interesting and not surprising – these are already nuances.

TOP 10 built-in dishwashers 60 cm

The “best of the best” rating includes fully built-in and partially built-in models, because compact or desktop PMMs are usually somewhat narrower than 60 cm.

Siemens SN 64D070 – 10th place

This is a fully built-in model that will fit into a standard kitchen. Productivity – 13 dish sets in 140 minutes of washing. The whole process requires only 12 liters of water. Energy costs for 1 hour – 1,05 kW. This model from Siemens provides 4 standard and temperature modes. After the wash cycle, the machine signals this with a soft sound.

Smeg STA6443-3 — 8th place

This full size model is a novelty from the Italian brand Smeg. In terms of characteristics, it compares favorably with previous models, the same can be said about the quality of parts and assembly. For 3 hours of operation, the PMM “Smeg” STA6443-3 launders 13 sets of dishes, spending up to 8,5 liters of water and 0,81 kW / h, therefore it belongs to the energy saving class A +++. The maximum noise level that this machine “creates” during operation is only 43 dB. Features that deserve special attention:

10 programs;
5 different temperature modes;
there is a start delay up to 24 hours;
automatic water hardness control:
“parental control” from accidental pressing by children;
Aqua-stop.

With dimensions of 60x55x82 cm and a cost of 78 rubles, this is a worthy copy of a good kitchen helper. She did not get into the top five only because of the high price.

Hansa ZIM 628 EH — 7th place

We continue to understand which dishwasher is better: 60 cm wide or another. This Chinese model from Hansa is the perfect combination of low cost and excellent functionality. They usually say about such machines: price = quality. PMM performance from “Hans” in 14 dish sets for a washing cycle of 140 minutes. During this time, the machine needs 12 liters of water. Dimensions: 60x55x82 cm.

Functionality and options:

Beko DIN 5840 – 6th place

Need a built-in dishwasher? DIN 5840 is a suitable option from the Turkish manufacturer Beko.

Not enough money for Siemens or Bosch? This machine will be an excellent analogue – at a price half that of products from German brands. Main advantages:

washing 13 sets of dishes takes about 10 liters of water and 1 kWh of electricity;
the operation is as quiet as possible – the manufacturer announced a noise level of 44 dB;
8 different programs;
convenient display panel;
beam on the floor;
a full-sized model of 60x55x82 cm can be built into almost any kitchen set.

Users speak negatively about incomprehensible instructions. And experts constructively criticize partial leakage protection. With such functionality, the cost of 27 rubles is more than justified.

Bosch SMV 47L10 – 5th place

In the Russian Federation, a Polish assembly model from the German Bosch corporation is usually common. Despite the fact that the machine is not assembled in the “homeland”, in terms of quality and parameters it is not much inferior to the original. Model Features:

Bosch SMV 65M30 – 4th place

It is not difficult to find this machine of the original German assembly in domestic appliance stores. Its characteristics are significantly superior to those listed above.

1 washing cycle requires 0,93 kWh of electricity and 10 liters, designed for 13 dish sets. Pleased with a noise figure of 42 dB. There are 6 different washing modes and 5 temperature programs. Among the modes, “Soaking” is especially interesting, which is suitable for stale dishes. There are indicators of the level of detergents, all types of protection are provided.

Minus in the absence of auto-regulation of water hardness.

For a typewriter with dimensions of 60x55x81,5 cm, you will have to pay 56 rubles. We believe that this is an overprice given the declared parameters, so we gave the SMV 000M65 only 30th place.

Siemens SN 66M094 — 3rd place

Still not sure which dishwasher to buy? The Siemens dishwasher (Germany) opens our top three. The characteristics are similar to the previous model from Bosch, but the capacity of the hopper is 1 set of dishes more.
