The process of buying a dishwasher is a rather painstaking task, because you buy it for several years and expect that it will serve you well, a lot depends on its parameters. How can you find exactly the dishwasher that will best clean the dishes from dirt and at the same time consume as little water and electricity as possible. Do the built-in and static dishwasher parameters differ?
What does the power of the machine affect?
The power consumption of the dishwasher directly depends on which of the classes of equipment it is compared to. For the kitchen, there are 3 classes A, B, C. Their power depends on the level of consumed energy (kW), which is different for all classes. Let's talk about them in more detail:
- class A corresponds to energy consumption from 0.65 to 1.05 kW;
- class B consumes from 1.05 to 1.1 kW;
- in class C, the power parameters are from 1.11 to 1.5 kW.
More recently, the A + class dishwasher has been invented, which includes a "economical wash" program, consuming only 0.63 kW during operation for a complete dishwashing cycle. However, it should be noted that using the minimum power will not always be able to provide the desired result and the normal functioning of the dishwasher.
Among other things, the power depends on the volume of the dishwasher, therefore, the larger the volume, the more water and electricity it will consume. These indicators must be calculated not only from economic parameters, but also from your needs, namely: the volume of dishes that your household will use. It is necessary to immediately decide which source of water you connect it to, cold or hot.
