The best compact Bosch dishwashers: model ratings, descriptions, reviews + selection recommendations

The kitchen is still the smallest room in the apartment.

And although it is clearly more spacious in new buildings, in Khrushchev, a tiny nook of 2 * 2 m is allocated for cooking. Even a minimum of household appliances can hardly fit here.

The compact Bosch dishwasher is an excellent solution for a small kitchen if the hostess does not want to do the dishes herself.

The technique is characterized by high-quality assembly, it serves for a long time without breakdowns. Fits well in the interior.

Key Features

The main difference between compact models from ordinary ones is dimensions. Bosch miniature dishwashers have dimensions: height - 45-55, width - 60 cm. Depth can be different, but you can enter such a technique into any cabinet.

The compact dishwasher easily includes 6 table sets. But there are also quite miniature models that can accommodate no more than 4.

Types of dishwashers

The company offers different types of equipment:

• Tabletop. The size of such models is not much larger than a large microwave. Nevertheless, such dishwashers can wash 4 cups at a time, the same number of plates, forks, spoons and knives.
• Outdoor. This technique is more impressive in size and is hardly suitable for very tiny kitchens. But it fits 6 sets of dishes. Fits in height under the sink
• Freestanding and built-in. You can choose the appropriate option depending on the design of the kitchen.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of dishwashers regardless of company:

• Do not take up much space. 45 centimeters wide can be found in any kitchen.
• No need to wash the dishes with your hands. Although here someone is used to something. Putting in a dishwasher a frankly fat pan or a cauldron with a burnt pilaf is a so-so pleasure. Whether the machine can handle this is unknown. Although the manufacturer promises perfectly clean dishes without any problems.
• Silent work. Unlike standard size models, the mini ones are almost noisy - they are not heard in the next room.
• Functionality. It is exactly the same as in a full-sized dishwasher.
• Ample roominess. It is enough for everyday washing dishes.

Specific features of Bosch dishwashers:

• protection of glassware from temperature shock - there is a heat exchanger;
• protection of any dishes from the appearance of mineral deposits and scale - there is a system for adjusting water hardness;
• door lock - children will not be able to open it and get burned;
• electric lock of the control panel - the child will not be able to reprogram the machine during its operation.

There are two disadvantages of mini-dishwashers:

• they are expensive - as much as full-sized;
• they wash a small amount of dishes at a time - however, these are the costs of compactness.

Bosch has compact dishwashers for up to 10 sets of dishes. This spaciousness was achieved due to the fact that the car "grew up" and became higher than its compact counterparts.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

When choosing, be guided by the following tips:

• Spaciousness. For daily use, 4 sets of dishes are quite enough.
• Cleaning class. There are three of them: A, B, C. Bosch dishwashers are only class A, which means that the device delivers perfectly clean dishes without a hint of pollution.
• Water consumption. On average, miniature models consume 8 liters - this is the most economical option (class A), at least half as much as when washing dishes by hand. There are also classes B (up to 20 l) and C (over 20 l). With high water consumption, electricity consumption increases.
• Drying. In compact Bosch dishwashers, it is convection, so there is nothing to choose from especially.
• Energy consumption. There are 6 classes - A, B, C, D, E, G, where A is economical, G is the most uneconomical. Manufacturers are trying to improve their technology. In particular, Bosch often produces dishwashers in energy class A +. The more advantages, the less power the device consumes. For example, the A +++ model consumes 50% less electricity than a similar, but class A.
• Type of connection. The dishwasher can only be connected to cold water supply or to both cold and hot. For Russia, it is better to choose the first type. Often, poor quality water pours from a hot tap, which will quickly disable equipment.
• Number of programs. Many mistakenly believe that the more of them, the better. For everyday use, 4 is enough - for highly, medium (standard washing), lightly soiled dishes and express.
• Type of control. Electromechanical is the most reliable, but not modern. In Bosch dishwashers, as a rule, the control is electronic.
• Noise level. The smallest that can be found on sale is 38 dB. The optimal 44-48 dB, 54 dB is already a bit much, especially if you plan to use the equipment in the evening or at night.
• Leakage protection. It happens partial - when the pan is full, the device turns off, and full - it works when the hose breaks or when a lot of water has accumulated inside the machine.
• Door lock during work.
• Filter - regular or self-cleaning.
• Lighting. It seems to be not too important function. However, when the lamp is on, loading the car is much easier.

Bosch mainly produces full-sized dishwashers, as well as increased capacity.

But you can find among their products and miniature models.
