TOP 7 silent dishwashers: overview, parameters, user reviews

A quiet dishwasher not only does not interfere with rest, but also saves energy. We will find out why it is beneficial to have a low-noise dishwasher and which brands offer quiet-running appliances.

Which dishwashers are considered quiet?

The monotonous buzzing of the dishwasher annoys many. True, not everyone, when buying equipment, pays attention to its noise. So that the new PMM does not irritate and does not interfere with rest, take an interest in the level of decibels it emits in advance.

Once upon a time, noise of 80 dB was considered the norm for dishwashers. Today, a good machine “noises” within 50 dB. The quietest models emit sounds at a level of 38-43 dB. There are models with better performance, but basically the “low noise range” lies within the specified limits. You can find out how many decibels the device produces in operating mode by looking at the label.

For comparison:

• loud conversation – 60-70 dB;
• normal conversation – 35 dB;
• scream – 90 dB;
• whisper — 20 dB.

It turns out that the most silent PMMs make noise twice as loud as a person whispers.

Overview of the quietest models and consumer reviews

On sale, PMM with a low noise figure are represented by many brands. Most models are full-size – with a width of 60 cm. Narrow machines – 45 cm wide, much less.

Midea MFD60S900 X – with a high energy class

A capacious device from a Chinese manufacturer. The machine is able to wash 14 sets at a time – this is enough to wash all the dishes after a home feast. The control panel has a display. There is a timer (1-24 hours) and indicators informing about the presence of salt and rinse aid.

A set of dishes is a conventional unit invented by PMM manufacturers to describe their performance. Usually 6 or 7 items are included in one set. For example – a pair of plates, a salad bowl, a cup and saucer, cutlery. For different manufacturers / countries, the “filling” of this “unit of measure” may differ slightly.

• Type: full size.
• Drying: turbo dryer.
• Number of sets: 14.
• Installation: freestanding.
• Power consumption: A+++.
• Washing/drying: A/A.
• Water consumption per cycle: 10 liters.
• Dimensions (WxDxH): 60x61x82 cm.
• Programs: 8 (including daily wash, economical, pre-soak).
• Noise: 40 dB.
• Weight: 46,5 kg.
• Average cost: from 26 to 690 rubles.

Pros:

• There is a display – on it the user can see the time remaining until the end of the wash, and the current program.
• Many programs – you can choose the optimal washing mode for different contaminants.
• Half Load – allows you to use the machine in economy mode.
• Roomy, there is a top tray for cutlery.
• Washes dishes well.
• Looks presentable.
• It consumes water economically – an average of 10 liters on different programs, a maximum of 17 liters.

Cons:

• There are complaints about the quality of the sealing ring on the supply pipe. It fell into disrepair, after a couple of months of work, inno wash the rocker – the owner had to change it.
• Moisture remains – drying is imperfect. The condensation type of drying is often accompanied by insufficiently dried dishes if the door is not opened in time.
• Baskets, in comparison, for example, with Siemens, look flimsy.
• If you do not push the middle basket all the way, then the top watering works at half strength – the dishes are washed unevenly.
• The sound signal notifying about the end of the cycle does not turn off.

Judging by the reviews, this model really works very quietly. This is a typical Chinese assembly technique – it is characterized by a stylish look, advanced solutions (for example, inno wash – a rocker that rotates in two planes at once), and at the same time a certain “fragility” is felt in everything.

In this machine, insufficiently high-quality assembly, inexpensive materials are visible. Low noise in this case is unlikely to be a decisive factor – you can find more reliable PMMs that can work barely audibly.

Conclusions

Summing up:

• Low noise PMMs can be found in different price ranges. But still, most of all silent models are among premium class equipment.
• Silent operation is associated with technical solutions implemented in each specific model. So, for example, an important factor in the low noise level of such household appliances is the use of an inverter motor.
• For most consumers, the noise parameter is not a decisive factor when choosing a dishwasher. The main criteria are loading, functionality, reliability. In addition, today any decent dishwasher a priori works with minimal sound.

The quietest PMMs are primarily of interest to consumers who are highly sensitive to sounds, and are often needed in families with small children who can wake up from any sharp sound. Those who are annoyed by the buzzing of household appliances can easily find the right model with minimal noise.
