All kinds of household appliances have long become faithful assistants to housewives, freeing them from most of their daily worries.Compact Bosch dishwashers, which have a place even in a miniature kitchen, will help you cope with the mountain of dirty appliances.

Although these devices are small in size, they demonstrate high-class cookware processing and reliable, long-lasting service. We will tell you how to choose the best model for you from the extensive range of famous manufacturers. Let us introduce you to the sales leaders who are actively in demand by consumers.

Features of Bosch household appliances

The world-famous Bosch company was created at the end of the 19th century, when the German engineer R. Bosch opened a workshop of electrical and precision mechanical instruments.

Now the company produces industrial equipment, power tools, and automotive products. Great importance is also attached to the production of consumer products, among which innovative household appliances occupy a special place.

In 1965, the first Bosch dishwasher was manufactured, which made it possible to obtain immaculately clean appliances with minimal effort. Such products were enthusiastically received on the market, which stimulated the creation of new product lines.

Bosch's headquarters is located near Stuttgart (Germany), and subsidiaries and representative offices are located in more than 60 countries.

Now the company's catalogs feature dozens excellent dishwasher models, varying in quality and design. In addition to full-size modifications, compact models are also being developed, designed for residents of small apartments with miniature kitchens.

Regardless of the size, the equipment uses innovative developments that improve the quality of washing and comfort in use. Most models are equipped with a function AquaStop, guaranteeing protection against leaks, which ensures the safe use of dishwashers. This function is especially important for embedded modifications.

The unique design of the Aquastop system hose eliminates the possibility of leakage in case of damage or wear of the flexible water supply pipe

System AquaSensor allows you to control the presence of contaminants and foam in the water. Thanks to this technology, the number of rinses and the detergent content are adjusted. Bosch Active Water — automatic calculation of water and electricity depending on the load. The option also helps reduce the cost of maintaining the machine.

Functional VarioSpeed reduces cycle times while maintaining a high degree of glassware processing. This saves time and water. Technology AquaVario designed for processing dishes made of fragile materials. By turning on this mode, you can thoroughly wash glass and porcelain products, taking into account their level of contamination.

The Bosch dishwasher is so easy to use that even a child can easily master it. Of course, under mom's supervision

Option Hygiene especially in demand in families with children or people with allergies. The program provides disinfection of the contents of the machine with hot water, as well as additional rinsing of the dishes. This helps to destroy the vast majority of microorganisms and wash away any remaining detergents.

An interesting technology is IntensiveZone, allowing simultaneous implementation of two modes. Machines with this option have a tank divided into two parts. In one compartment, fragile dishes are washed, and in the other, devices that require intensive processing.

Almost all Bosch dishwashers are equipped with functions such as ServoSchloss And EcoSilenceDrive. The first of them features a reliable proprietary latch lock, and the second is an inverter motor that ensures efficient long-term operation with low noise levels.

Bosch dishwasher doors open/close without the slightest effort. The door, even at a slight angle, opens automatically

Types of compact dishwashers

There are several categories of small-sized household appliances. Each type has its own characteristics. By location they are divided into separately placed and built-in, and by size - into narrow and full-size.

Free-standing devices

Compact options are almost the same size as a microwave, which saves a lot of space. Such devices are well suited for a small family or can be an option for country housing.

Free-standing devices, also often called desktop models, usually have dimensions 55x50x45. Capacity, measured in the number of devices that can be processed in 1 cycle, is 6.

Miniature Bosch units have high performance characteristics.In terms of washing and energy consumption, they belong to class A; Drying level can be A or B.

In addition to traditional snow-white devices, Bosch produces a line of compact devices painted in bright colors: yellow, scarlet, black. A model made in a dark tone looks visually smaller than similar light ones

The internal structure of such models has common features. In the lower sector there is a wave-shaped spray device, above which there is a compartment for dishes and a basket where cutlery is placed.

Special containers are designed for detergents, rinse aid, and salt. There is also a “3 in 1” option for using combined products.

Most often, small dishwashers use condensation drying, which is simple and hygienic, although it takes quite a lot of time. Some models may have an extra dry option.

As a rule, miniature units are equipped with 4-6 programs. These include:

• pre-soaking recommended for heavily soiled devices;
• intensive washing;
• standard operating mode;
• delicate handling of dishes;
• economical washing.

The number of temperature modes can vary from 2 to 5, and the noise level can be within 42-56 decibels. Water consumption depends on the parameters, features of the modification and the selected mode. As a rule, it does not exceed 9 liters per full cycle. The price range of models is 12-18 thousand rubles.

Built-in dishwasher options

Such modifications of Bosch products are practically no different from stand-alone machines. Basically, their differences relate only to appearance, since they are intended to be built into pieces of furniture.

Built-in units can have a fairly large width, slightly less than 60 cm, while they have less depth and height. Typically, such devices are mounted under the sink or in a cabinet.

These dishwashers are designed to wash 6-8 sets of dishes. Built-in models can have up to five operating modes.

They also have additional functions installed, for example, VarioSpeed, AquaSensor, ServoSchloss mechanical lock, AquaStop leak protection, child lock. The cost of such devices is slightly higher than their compact counterparts, and ranges from 22-30 thousand rubles.

Cars 45 centimeters wide

Such devices are a kind of compromise between full-size and compact desktop devices. If compact models can be recommended for a small family, then narrow ones are quite suitable for a large family, and a fairly modest space will be required for placement.

The 45-centimeter versions accommodate not only 6, but also 9-10 sets of dishes, in addition, they have expanded functionality. The design includes a timer, which allows you to use the delayed start option

Models of this type have a slightly different organization of space. Two boxes and the same number of spray blocks are installed inside. All main containers, for example, containers or baskets, are larger in size than their compact counterparts.

The number of modes, noise level, as well as additional capabilities depend on the features of the modification. Price narrow cars largely depends on the number of additional options and starts from 20,000 rubles. In addition to the usual ones, there are also built-in options that are significantly more expensive (from 25 thousand rubles and above).

Advantages and disadvantages of mini devices

The advantages of such products are quite obvious. First of all, these are compact sizes, thanks to which the devices can be easily placed even in a miniature kitchen, installing them on a countertop or under the sink.

The light weight inherent in such a device ensures the mobility of such models, thanks to which you can easily change their place in the kitchen, and, if necessary, deliver it to a service center.

Disadvantages include small capacity, which makes compact machines difficult to use for a large family. In addition, there are difficulties in processing large-sized dishes.

Compact units are more economical. They allow you to wash a large number of dishes with minimal consumption of electricity and water.

Some users report difficulties with service. In the centers it is not always possible to obtain the spare parts necessary to replace damaged parts. Regardless of its size, the machine requires connection to the sewer and water supply networks, as well as an outlet with mandatory grounding.

The functionality of compact dishwashers is still less than that of their full-size counterparts. Miniature cars, equipped with a large number of options, are close in cost to the prices of 60-centimeter modifications.
