TOP 9 highest quality dishwashers: 2019 rating of the year

Many buyers confuse popularity with real quality rating. Far from always promoted brands are real favorites in their industry. Let’s see what the rating of dishwasher manufacturers looks like, compiled according to the criteria of quality, functionality and reliability.

Rating of the best manufacturers

True connoisseurs of quality know that the best equipment is produced by companies that do not advertise themselves on TV screens. Such manufacturers produce premium products that do not need advertising. Elite household appliances are not sold on such a scale as budget ones, their manufacturers do not spend money on advertising, so they are not well known to the average consumer.

To compile the most accurate and useful quality rating, we will divide all dishwasher manufacturers (PMM) into three price segments – and in each of them we will highlight the best manufacturers of 2018.

The best brands of elite PMM:

• SMEG. Italian manufacturer. Produces the quietest dishwashers. All models are distinguished by stylish design and innovative technologies.
• NEFF. German trade mark. Her PMMs are not as quiet as the Smeg and look more modest. But they are cheaper, so they are more in demand than SMEG.
• Kuppersbusch. Another German brand. His machines work for 10-15 years, but their prices are too high. Therefore, the target audience for this technique is limited.

In Germany, where the best household appliances are produced, more than 60% of the inhabitants have dishwashers in the house. In Russia – less than 20%.

The best manufacturers of PMM in the middle price segment:

• Siemens. A German brand that was once a leader in the ranking of luxury equipment manufacturers. Today, Siemens moved down a notch to top the mid-price group. This brand offers excellent quality appliances at reasonable prices, stylish, durable and efficient.
• A lot The Swedish brand is inferior to Siemens in assembly quality, but the price of their models is also cheaper. With the same technical characteristics, Asco PMM can be significantly inferior in price to Siemens analogues.
• Bosch. Another German manufacturer. Its minus is a large percentage of failed models. The “range” is very diverse – there are excellent modifications, but there are frankly failures.

Leaders of the budget segment:

• Bosch. This brand has become the leader of two price groups at once. Budget appliances “Bosch” is at the upper limit of the budget category. This manufacturer has dozens of models of excellent quality. PMM has an ideal price-quality ratio.
• Indesit. The Italian brand produces inexpensive equipment of decent quality. Once upon a time, there was a lot of marriage among Indesit products, but today this omission has been corrected.
• Electorlux. The main core of good inexpensive technology is among 3-4-year-old models. New developments are somewhat inferior in quality.
