What’s the brand?

Officially, the Kuppersberg trademark is presented as a German brand. But there is another opinion on this matter. The trademark is indeed registered in Germany – to the company M & G Hausegerate GmbH, but no one knows about Kuppersberg products in Europe – it is assumed that this equipment is produced specifically for Russia.

Consider the most popular dishwashers of different types.

GS 6005 – full size

Fully built-in PMM, accommodating 12 sets of dishes at once – such a load is enough to serve a family of 5-6 people. The device is equipped with an audible signal, salt and rinse aid indicators, a digital display – using it the user can see how much time is left until the end of the wash, what program is running and other useful information. The delayed start timer allows you to delay the start of the machine by 1 to 24 hours.

A set of dishes is understood as a set of six appliances: two plates – for the first and second courses, a salad bowl, saucers, forks, spoons.

• Type: full size.
• Installation: fully built-in.
• Capacity: 12 sets.
• Power consumption: A+++.
• Washing/drying: A/A.
• Water consumption per cycle: 11 liters.
• Dimensions (WxDxH): 60x55x82 cm.
• Programs: 7 (for everyday washing, intensive, express, for washing fragile dishes, economical, pre-soak).
• Noise: 49 dB.
• Number of temperature modes: 3.
• Max. inlet water temperature: 65 °C.
• Average cost: from 23 to 660 rubles.

Pros:

• Maximum energy savings – the model has the highest energy consumption class.
• You can use 3 in 1 tablets. Simplifies operation and saves money.
• Thanks to the presence of indicators, the user is alerted to the presence of salt and rinse aid and, if necessary, adds them.
• Baskets can be adjusted in height.
• Good wash quality.

Cons:

• Half load is not provided. The presence of this function would reduce water consumption.
• Leak protection is incomplete. Only the hull is protected.
• There is no water purity sensor. Thanks to special sensors that detect the presence of impurities in the composition of water, PMM can finish the program ahead of schedule – this will save the user water and electricity. The GS 6005 does not have these sensors, so savings are lost.
• There is no automatic determination of water hardness. In machines with such a determinant, salt is added in accordance with the quality of the water. Here the salt is added in the order set by the program or the user.
• Users complain about the noise of the device.

GS 4533 – narrow

Narrow PMM with condensation drying. A model for those who need built-in appliances of small width. It completely repeats the previous machine, it has all the same functions and programs as in the full-size counterpart. It differs only in capacity – it fits less dishes, and it spends less water.

• Type: narrow.
• Installation: fully built-in.
• Capacity: 11 sets.
• Power consumption: A++.
• Washing/drying: A/A.
• Water consumption per cycle: 9 liters.
• Dimensions (WxDxH): 44,5x55x82 cm.
• Programs: 6 (including for everyday washing, intensive, express, for washing fragile dishes, economical, pre-soak).
• Noise: 49 dB.
• Number of temperature modes: 3.
• Max. inlet water temperature: 65 °C.
• Average cost: 26 rubles.

The GS 4533 has the same pros and cons as the previous full size machine. Let’s see what other pros and cons ordinary users noted in the narrow model.

Good:

• Convenient shelves. Possibility of rearrangement – it is possible, by separating the tiers, to separately wash only the upper, lower or middle.
• Users are satisfied with the quiet operation of the device. Although this modification has the same noise level as the previous one, accused of excessive noise. It is possible that in that case incorrect work took place.
• The owners love the quality of the wash, as well as the extra shelf for forks and spoons. Many people use this third shelf for all sorts of little things – they throw them there without wasting time arranging them.

The bad:

• Users are dissatisfied with the degree of dryness of dishes – condensation drying is inferior in efficiency, for example, drying with hot air.
• Many are dissatisfied with the build quality.
• Switching to 3 in 1 mode is done manually, not automatically.
• No half load.

We have to admit that the reviews are radically different – there are both enthusiastic comments and categorically dissatisfied ones.

At a similar price, a similar modification is offered – GS 4505, it is designed for 10 sets and has 4 programs.

GS 4502 – economical

Narrow modification for a small kitchen. It is designed for 9 sets and is equipped with instantaneous water heater.

• Water consumption per cycle: 8 liters.
• Dimensions (WxDxH): 44,5x55x82 cm.
• Programs: 6 (including for everyday washing, intensive, express, for washing fragile dishes, economical, pre-soak).
• Noise: 49 dB.

GL 6088 – roomy

The most capacious modification in the model range. With a large load – 14 sets, it consumes only 9 liters of water per cycle. The timer delays washing by 1-12 hours.

• Type: full size.
• Installation: built-in completely.
• Capacity: 14 sets.
• Power consumption: A+.
• Washing/drying: A/A.
• Water consumption per cycle: 9 liters.
• Dimensions (WxDxH): 60x57x82 cm.

• Noise: 44 dB.
• Number of temperature modes: 3.
• Max. inlet water temperature: 65 °C.
• Average cost: from 38 to 790 rubles.

Good:

• Works very quietly.
• Complete leakage protection.
• There is a half load.
• There is a “beam on the floor” indicator.
• A self-cleaning function is provided.
• Washes dishes well.
• There is a night program – on it the device works quieter than usual.
• Low water consumption. For comparison – in the GLA 680, which is no longer on sale, 14 sets were spent on 5 liters of water more – 14 liters.

The bad:

• It takes 4-5 seconds between pressing the button and performing the action.
• The metal protrusions of the front basket scratch the door, resulting in metal corrosion. At the same time, the instruction manual says that corrosion is not a warranty case.
• It is not possible to adjust the stiffness of the springs on the door.
• Poor assembly – the impression that the PMM is “assembled from recycled materials” (quote). The rear upper stiffening rib is made of foam, and the soundproofing material is glued with adhesive tape.

Conclusions

Summing up:

• The most picky consumers put the pretentious dishwashers “Kuppersberg”, in the name of which there is a clear hint of “German quality”, the diagnosis is “Made in China».
• PMM “Kuppersberg” fully meets its cost. They are many times cheaper than their elite counterparts with the consonant name “Coopersbush”, while they are quite efficient, functional, reliable and even beautiful.

Kupersberg presents many models, but they are all similar to each other – they differ only in nuances. Basically, you have to make a choice between narrow and full-size versions.
