How To Choose A Dishwasher

1、 Identify the right dishwasher

Dishwashers are roughly divided into five categories: desktop dishwashers, sink dishwashers, fully embedded dishwashers, embedded drawer dishwashers, and embedded dual-purpose dishwashers. Before purchase, you must determine the type of dishwasher according to the type of dishwasher and your own household type.

1. desk dishwasher

Desktop dishwashers are placed dishwashers. Desktop dishwashers are cheap and small in capacity, but they do take up space. They are suitable for small families with 2 to 4 people. Usually, householders or renters who have finished the kitchen decoration and do not reserve dishwasher space will choose desktop dishwashers.

Three points should be considered when purchasing: first, whether there is space for placement and whether the space at the placement will cause inconvenience. Second, the pot can not be put down because the space is limited. Third, the drainage system is troublesome. If it is not connected properly, it may lead to water leakage.

2. sink dishwasher

This dishwasher is suitable for users who have moved to a new home without decoration. As long as the space for the dishwasher is reserved in the sink when installing it, it can be put into the dishwasher at any time in the future. The price is higher than the desktop dishwasher opportunity. Of course, the use space of this dishwasher is not so tight compared with the table type.

This sink type dishwasher has obvious advantages: first, it is convenient to place dishes, which are just not flush with people, and can be operated standing. Second, there are more tableware, which makes it more convenient for guests to come home. Third, there is no need for additional openings or holes in drainage. However, you also need to worry about maintenance issues, because it is troublesome to disassemble after installation. In addition, users who are used to using double sinks may feel that the sink area will be reduced after being occupied, which makes it inconvenient to wash and drain vegetables.

3. fully embedded dishwasher

This kind of dishwasher integrates the cabinet and does not affect the overall pattern, because it can be integrated with the cabinet. It has a strong sense of integration, is very beautiful, and has large capacity. At the same time, its functions are relatively comprehensive. The usual tableware can also be put in, so as to reduce the occupation of the space outside and prevent dust. It's just that you need to bend over and take the tableware. At the same time, the maintenance is troublesome and the price is relatively high.

4. recessed drawer dishwasher

This dishwasher is similar to the previous fully embedded dishwasher, but the drawer type design does not need to bend down and pull down the door plate, which is convenient and comfortable to use. It has the advantages of powerful functions, drying, sterilization and dishwashing.

5. built in dishwasher

This kind of dishwasher has a high degree of freedom to place, can be embedded and independent, has many functions and large capacity, and can even put 10~14 sets of dishes. It usually also has the function of hot air drying, which can keep the tableware clean and dry all the time. Prices are also higher.

2、 Several aspects to be considered in choosing dishwasher

After determining the type of dishwasher, you can start from the characteristics of dishwasher and comprehensively compare different products, such as cleanliness, ease of operation, functions, etc. which is more cost-effective and which is more suitable for your family. Here are a few angles you can refer to.

1. cleaning capacity

Any kind of product should do its own work first, and cleaning products should be considered first. This is the first criterion for choosing dishwashers. Chinese people's complex cooking methods and traditional cooking methods: frying, boiling, frying, frying, etc. lead to the fact that our daily dishes have more oil than foreign dishes. This kind of oily and juicy tableware can test the cleaning ability of dishwashers. China's tableware is deeper and wider, which is a test of the dishwasher's multi angle cleaning ability.

In terms of cleaning methods, dishwashers are divided into shower dishwashers, water flow dishwashers, impeller dishwashers and ultrasonic dishwashers. The following is an introduction to the cleaning principles of various dishwashers:

A. Shower dishwasher: its working feature is that it uses the water splashing washing method, and uses the pressure nozzle to spray water to different sides and azimuth angles, so as to fully wash the utensils and utensils on the tank rack of the machine. This dishwasher has a good washing effect. Most household dishwashers use this washing method.

B. Water flow dishwasher: it is very similar to the ordinary wave wheel washing machine we often use. Its working principle is basically the same - a wave wheel is installed under the slot frame of the dishwasher, and the wave wheel is connected to the motor under the shell. When the dishwasher is started, the motor drives the wave wheel disc to run at a high speed, so that the washing water in the machine trough rotates and splashes, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

C. There are some similarities between the impeller dishwasher and the water flow dishwasher. An impeller is arranged at the lower part of the slot frame, and the impeller is connected with the motor. During operation, the motor drives the impeller to rotate at a high speed, and splashes the washing water in the slot upward with the impeller blade, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning. The water consumption of this dishwasher is relatively large.

D. The ultrasonic dishwasher is characterized by the design of vibration components at the bottom and side of the body. This unique vibration component can generate ultrasonic frequency when the dishwasher is working. Through the combined action of ultrasonic and water, the dirt on the object surface is removed and thus falls off, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning treatment. The dishwasher has low working noise and can effectively save water and electricity. At the same time, the utility model has the advantages of simple structure, long service life, and convenient daily maintenance compared with other types of dishwashers.

2. ease of operation and other incidental functions

Operability and simplicity: the older generation can choose the dishwasher with simpler and more intelligent operation. Some dishwashers also provide different washing schemes, which directly provide solutions for the amount of dirt, cleaning time and energy consumption.

Drying function: it makes the tableware more dry and clean. Some dishwashers also optimize this function. For example, opening the door and drying quickly improves the efficiency on the premise of reducing energy consumption.

Sterilization function: the sterilization rate of some models reaches 99.99%, which is comparable to the disinfection cabinet, making the tableware more safe to use and the baby products cleaner.

In addition, the child lock function is used to prevent children from mistakenly touching, and the WiFi remote intelligent dishwasher can remotely reserve the washing mode through the mobile phone to view the washing status and washing energy consumption.

3. energy saving and washing consumables

The energy consumption of dishwasher is mainly considered from two aspects.

First, it saves water. The dishwasher itself has to be washed by hand to save water. Now many representative dishwashers have a good performance in saving water. However, some dishwashers also do partition washing, which can be washed independently without saving dishes, and use less water.

The second is consumables, including detergent, soft water salt and rinsing agent. Dishwasher is different from hand washing. It has special detergent. Conventional detergent cannot be directly used in dishwasher. The common detergent 1kg on the market can be used for 1.5 to 3 months, which is slightly more expensive than detergent. The specific use situation is also related to the frequency and dosage. Rinsing agent can make tableware brighter and cleaner. You can choose whether to buy it or not. The same is true for water softeners. The latter two consumables are used for maintenance and can be used for a long time. Some dishwashers also have self-cleaning and soft water systems, which can prevent dirt and maintain the machine, greatly reducing the use of soft water salt and rinsing agent.
