The 10 Most Reliable Dishwashers

*Review of the best according to the editors. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective, it is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to purchase. Consultation with a professional dishwasher before purchase.

In this review, we take a look at the most reliable dishwashers. The rating includes 10 models from renowned manufacturers. For convenience, we have divided the nominees into three categories by size – narrow (up to 45 cm wide), full-size (up to 60 cm in width) and compact (desktop models, which do not have a single standard size).

Our selection of specific dishwashers was based on brand recognition, design features, and the elements that indicate greater reliability (such as the presence of a brushless inverter motor or a leak-proof safety system). Another important factor was the practical test of technology, that is, how reliable each model and how the technique behaves in real operation.

To compile the rating we analyzed feedback from real customers, information from official sites of manufacturers, thematic forums and marketplace Yandex.Market and other open data sources.

How to choose a reliable dishwasher

To choose a quality, practical and reliable dishwasher, you need to consider the following points:

Form factor and size.

Type of installation.

Functionality.

Options that increase reliability.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the size of the technique. Here we can distinguish three main options – narrow, standard and compact. The first two versions are used only for floor installation and differ from each other only in the width of the door – 45 and 60 cm respectively (dimensions rounded for convenience, in reality they are slightly smaller).Compact models are mostly installed on the table or mounted in special furniture pens.

The type of installation does not affect the quality and reliability of equipment, being only a visual aspect. If the design of your kitchen set allows you to build in a dishwasher, you can safely choose from this category of appliances. If not – you need to consider free-standing models.

The functionality of dishwashers of various classes may differ greatly. In basic models, usually not more than two or three programs (for example, standard, intensive and fast). The more expensive machines have a timer, temperature control, auto-programs, ECO-mode, special settings for crystal and thin glass, as well as other additional functions. It should be understood that the more options a particular model has, the more expensive it is. In order not to overpay, it is recommended to choose a dishwasher with those modes that will be used constantly.

Options that increase the reliability of appliances – another criterion for your choice. Virtually anything can make a difference: from the brand image and country of assembly to the different materials used in each piece of equipment. According to statistics of service centers, among the most reliable dishwashers are European models, made by reputable brands. Also, the quality and durability of the device affects the presence of the system of leakage protection, the inner chamber of stainless steel (not plastic or painted metal), the system of self-diagnosis (identifying problems at an early stage) and other options.

The right dishwasher will not only deliver high quality and performance, but will also give you many years of reliable service.

10 the most reliable dishwashers

Rating: 4.7

The Gorenje GS531E10W from the famous Slovenian manufacturer opens the category of the most reliable narrow dishwashers. The machine is assembled in China and is covered by a two-year warranty.

This is a free-standing model in a white housing with a black control panel on the door. The machine is designed for a simultaneous loading of up to 9 standard sets of dishes. Among the features worth mentioning is the unusual shape of the control panel, which consists of two informative planes. On the top edge, there are all the controls and a small display, and on the front edge, there is a big screen, which shows the current stage of the washing cycle.

The model is notable for its economical use of water and electricity (energy efficiency class A ++), as well as for its quiet operation (not more than 47 dB). Condensation system ensures high quality drying of dishes. And the process takes place without energy consumption.

Two important options, aquastop and automatic filters cleaning, are worth mentioning among the elements that increase the reliability of the machine. The model is equipped with a full aquastop, which prevents flooding of the occupants from the bottom due to depressurisation of the cooking cabinet or damage to the hose. If the automation detects a leak, then at the same time the valve closes the water supply tap, the washing cycle is stopped and the pump pumps all the water out of the machine.

The second important point that increases the reliability of the design is the filter cleaning system. Automation keeps the filters clean by itself, which eliminates system failure, pump malfunction and other problems.

Owners of the dishwasher point out the high wash quality, the almost silent operation and the good functionality. The disadvantages include the lack of child protection program.
