The dishwasher is an indispensable tool in the kitchen. This technique not only saves space and time, but also helps to optimize water consumption. The main point when choosing a dishwasher is its dimensions. In this article, we will consider what non-standard types exist, their features and selection rules.

Peculiarities

There are a large number of dishwashers on the market today, they differ in size, functionality and power consumption. To make a choice, you need to know what dimensions this or that machine has. First, let's look at the main segment of the assortment.

Any technique has its own characteristics, there are built-in cars and those that do not need a special niche.

Standard sizes are:

1. height - 81.5 cm;
2. width - 59 cm;
3. depth - 54 cm.

The distance between the wall and the device should be 5 cm. If the machine is built-in, then this distance is calculated from the wall of the box. These models allow you to load dishes for 14-15 persons and wash everything in one go.

And there are also narrow, compact cars . Many people think that anything that is not standard is non-standard. On the one hand, this is indeed true, but today there is a separate category of dishwashers that are considered non-standard.

So what are the features of a non-standard machine, and how to distinguish it from a narrow or compact one. First of all, you need to understand what dimensions the future technology should have . That is, how much free space is there in the kitchen. Non-standard models came into use precisely because the area in the kitchen did not allow for a standard car.

For example, there are models of free-standing machines with dimensions 82x45x45 cm . It turns out that in height the model belongs to the standard, but in terms of depth and width it does not.

And also non-standard units have other features. In addition to the fact that they can be built into furniture, they can be bench-top or located in a niche under the sink.

What are they?

Non-standard or small dishwashers are also divided into categories, but only in width. The smallest among them are considered devices with a width of no more than 30 or 35 cm, as sales managers often say . But such cars simply do not exist - this is a special marketing ploy, according to the passport, such cars will be 40 cm wide. Why is that so? It is impossible to fit all machine parts in a 35 cm wide unit. In this case, it would be necessary to increase the immersion depth. But in a car from 40 cm, the capacity increases.

Such models are usually purchased in small apartments, where a little space is allocated for the kitchen, or in a studio apartment, where every centimeter counts . They usually install a 40-centimeter machine under the sink in the niche itself, this will save not only space, but also money, since a separate cabinet will not be needed. Such a model will be able to wash about 5 sets of dishes at a time. The height will be based on the area of the cabinet. If the average cabinet is about 82 cm, the depth of the sink is about 30 cm, then the height of the machine can be selected up to 50 cm.

And also such units can be installed on the surface or in a wall cabinet, since the machine looks like a microwave oven

The following non-standard models are already slightly wider, they are 45 cm.

They can be both built-in and free-standing . Their height on average varies from 80 to 85 cm, like the standard, the depth is not more than 65 cm. But the number of dirty dishes is loaded more than the previous model, namely: 9-12 sets at a time.

Small dimensions in no way interfere with functionality. Almost all models have the same settings, that is, the presence of modes such as:

• drying;
• door lock;
• regular or accelerated wash;
• water saving mode;
• preliminary soaking.

Temperature conditions in such machines are from 2 to 5. And you can connect water to the machine both cold and hot.

Selection rules

In order to purchase this or that model, it is always necessary to follow a number of rules that will help not only decide on the purchase, but also secure the choice.

The first thing you should pay attention to is which model you want to buy . Everything should come from free space. Especially if the model is built-in. In order not to be mistaken with the box, it is best to take a closer look at a certain model, and already buy a box for it. After all, some stores round up the dimensions for their convenience. Therefore, it is better to choose a dishwasher according to the installation diagram.

In addition to the place where the car will be placed, you should also rely on the number of people in the family . If a family consists of 2 people, then it makes no sense to buy a full-size car, it is better to choose some built-in small-sized model.

The machine must be equipped with 3 feet: two at the front and one at the back (this foot is the adjusting screw). It is worth remembering that on all machines, the top cover is removed and the height of the model is reduced by 2 cm.

And also you should pay attention to the connection hoses and the sewer drain, for this, you should also leave a place.

The inside of the machine should have a function such as adjusting the height of the basket to be able to wash tall items.

Adjustment of baskets is not available for compact models, as their height does not allow for this.

The dishwasher must have a leakage protection function. There may be several reasons for leaks: a torn hose, a program failure, it does not matter, the machine itself must distinguish the flow of water inside and drain it.

In addition to the machine itself, there are a number of rules related to cabinets:

1. the distance between the machine and the wall should be about 5 cm;
2. the thickness of the decorative panel is always taken into account, especially for stainless steel models.
