Overview and reviews of the Flavia dishwasher

The Flavia dishwasher is a relative novelty in the home appliance market. Dishwashers “Flavia” are distinguished by an affordable cost, as they are designed for the average buyer. Note the features of all models:

  1. “Smart” detergent dispenser – controls the hardness of the incoming water and regulates the amount of salt.
  2. A flow heater for water heating is already at the stage of filling the bunker.
  3. The ASC motor makes it possible to adjust the rotation speed of the nozzles inside the hopper.
  4. S-Type nozzles direct water to all compartments of the hopper, providing the highest quality wash.

We will understand the types and types of dishwashers of the Flavia brand, consider popular and new models and reviews for them.

Where are PMM Flavia produced?

The country of origin is not indicated on the official website of the company, but, according to reliable information, all Flavia dishwashers are manufactured at factories located in China. How high-quality and reliable the Chinese assembly is for you to judge. Today, such a “motley” product is supplied from China: from ordinary fakes to premium-class equipment, that it would be erroneous to draw preliminary conclusions.

Flavia dishwasher types

Consider the main types of PMM presented on the official website of the company.

Fully embedded

One of the most popular options that can be installed in a kitchen set or under a countertop. These machines are completely covered by a furniture facade, without destroying the integrity of the design solution in the kitchen. Flavia has an impressive range of fully built-in dishwashers, among which you can choose the right one:

  1. A compact model of a fully built-in type – up to 45 cm wide. An excellent choice for a small kitchen, when every square meter is worth its weight in gold. At the same time, the models are inferior to others in terms of capacity and wash up to 10 sets of dishes in one cycle, therefore they are suitable for a small family of 2-3 people.
  2. A full size dishwasher with a capacity of up to 14 place settings. Choose from a variety of programs to use resources and detergent efficiently. Suitable for those who do not want to change the style of the kitchen and use a lot of dishes in everyday life.

Model example: narrow machine BI 45 Kamaya S, 45 cm wide

Features:

  • Function of “beam on the floor”, with which it is easy to control the course of the washing process.
  • Alternative wash (alternative loading method), thanks to which you can choose in which basket to wash the dishes.
  • Power Wash – enhanced washing. This option can be activated in addition to the main mode; will help to wash even the most difficult pollution.
  • Express Wash – express wash. The option will save up to 30% of time in any standard mode while maintaining the quality of washing.
  • EXTRA DRYING – additional drying, dousing the dishes with water heated to 70 degrees for disinfection from pathogenic bacteria.

Compact built-in models

For a small kitchen, a built-in compact model is what you need. Its advantages:

  • ease of use, wide functionality;
  • high speed of standard and additional cycles – due to the presence of a flowing water heater;
  • reasonable cost – now PMM can be afforded by anyone who wants to save himself from the hassle in the kitchen.

Example: built-in compact dishwasher CI 55 Havana, 55 cm wide

Features of the model:

  • the presence of a flowing water heater;
  • delay start timer to turn on the machine at a convenient time – at night, early in the morning or while you are at work;
  • case and chamber are protected from leaks.

Partially embedded models

Their main advantage is the front-mounted control panel. Machines with an open panel we have devoted a whole review – take a look if you are interested. Briefly: these are PMMs that are built into the headset, but the user panel remains visible. Thanks to this design, you can control the sink and monitor the progress of its implementation.

What is the difference from a fully embedded model? To check the operation of a conventional machine, you need to open the cabinet door, while the program will pause, which will increase the washing time. The dishwasher with an open user unit from Flavia allows you to control processes without interrupting the washing cycle. The installation of both types of machines is identical, the difference is only in the final result and appearance.

Example: SI 60 ENNA L full size dishwasher, 60 cm wide

Differences and functions:

  • internal illumination of the bunker;
  • basket with adjustable height;
  • special filter “breathing” type;
  • high-quality stainless steel user panel protected by a coating that prevents fingerprints;
  • alternative loading (washing in any of the baskets);
  • dish disinfection.

Freestanding PMM

If the design of the kitchen has been chosen for a long time and repairs have already been made, and there is no place for a dishwasher in the headset, freestanding model – optimal solution. Features of non-built-in dishwashers from Flavia:

  1. Exquisite design. Such a PMM is always in sight, and this was taken into account by the developers when designing the facade of the equipment. The touch panel, the conciseness of the lines, the style and quality of the details – you yourself will not agree to hide such a machine in furniture.
  2. Maximum loading capacity. The 60 cm models can hold up to 14 sets of dishes in the hopper. This will save time and resources.
  3. One year warranty. When buying PMM “Flavia” you can contact the service center within 12 months of warranty.

Example: Full size dishwasher FS 60 ENZA, 60 cm wide

Functionality and features:

  • alternate loading;
  • additional drying with disinfection of dishes;
  • a turbidity sensor that scans the purity of the water to determine the number of rinses;
  • accelerated cycle that reduces the time of any program by 30% while maintaining the quality of washing.

Desktop options

Such a PMM is suitable for anyone who cannot afford to clutter up the usable space in their kitchen. The main advantage of the desktop design: reliability and mobility. Are you renting an apartment? Do not buy built-in or full size model, buy a tabletop dishwasher and make your move easier. Features of compact models:

  1. Modest dimensions. A width of 50 cm allows you to hide the machine in any locker, place it on a small pedestal, countertop or under it.
  2. Capacity up to 6 sets. This is quite enough for a small family. An additional plus is saving resources and washing dishes in small batches (there is no need to collect mountains of dirty dishes all day long).

Example: compact dishwasher TD 55 Valara, 55 cm wide

Benefits and Features:

  • flow heater;
  • leakage protection (body and washing hopper);
  • modest dimensions.

User Reviews

Flavia BI 45 DELIA

Elena, Kirov

We got an inexpensive dishwasher Flavia BL 45 Delia. The instruction is in Russian, so there were no problems with installation. During the year of use, it was not noticed that the machine is leaking or buggy – everything is stable. For a narrow machine, there is enough capacity, there are no complaints about drying, washing is the highest class. Of the shortcomings, I would like to note the lack of a container for cutlery – earlier in Indesit there was one, so they got used to it. Conveniently, with a narrow design, frying pans and pots can easily enter the hopper. A separate plus is that there is a portable basket, thanks to which the issue with cutlery is solved. In general, I am satisfied with my choice, despite the fact that this is a Chinese brand.

Flavia CI 55 HAVANA

Natasha, Simferopol

The machine was purchased relatively recently, but I have already managed to fully test all the programs and modes. Attracted and design, and price, and functionality, and most importantly – compactness. We live in a small odnushka, so it was always a problem to install large household appliances, as a result – a narrow washing machine, a small refrigerator, and no microwave. But I always dreamed of a dishwasher, which is why I bought a desktop version. I use an average of three times a day – after each meal. You can say a lot about the quality of washing – everything glitters, plates and mugs are clean to a creak.

Flavia TD 55 VALARA

Alena, Kaliningrad

It’s kind of a nightmare. After the breakdown of their favorite Bosch dishwasher, they decided to save money and bought this Chinese nonsense. Surprises began from the very first day: the door falls off! She barely holds on, and her husband could not do anything about it. The time until the end of the wash is not counted, so how much is left is only guessing, looking at the light bulb. It’s good that you were able to return it. It’s a pity for the money spent on salt and rinse aid – out of habit, I fell asleep just to the eyeballs.

As you can see, the reviews about the PMM “Flavia” are very mixed, someone is delighted, and someone does not like the equipment of this brand. Given that the cost of these machines is an order of magnitude lower than the products of proven brands, this is quite expected. But let’s add on our own that the quality of washing dishes, functionality and uninterrupted operation depends on many factors: the correct installation, the selection of detergents, and compliance with the operating rules.

We wish you a balanced and thoughtful choice! Share your impressions with us and other users, leave comments.
