Good day everyone, I haven’t come in for a long time, but here I read everything that was newly added, I’ll write on my own, I’ll remind you this is my story, my opinion and what I like, please don’t throw slippers
I wanted a dishwasher for a long time, especially since my hands were very cracked, especially in winter, it is not an option to wash with gloves, it is not clear to the touch and the dishes slipped out. I have two small children, a rented apartment with a 5-6 meter kitchen. Khrushchev and a washing machine are in the kitchen, there is no refrigerator)))
When I decided to buy, there was enough current for a new Indesite, since I’m on maternity leave))) but God forbid, I’m not bad about used things, so I considered the option of buying something new in our region, I was more interested only in the Germans at 45cm and from 70 degrees so that there was a program necessarily, I read a bunch of forums on PMM))), and then she found the cherished Siemens bought for 10 thousand on January 7, 2017 by the date of the factory release in 2012, it was bought in 2013, sold it in connection with the move to the cottage the installation of a new kitchen and built-in appliances at the time of purchase, the same new one in stores cost 35t, I definitely did not have money for this))))
And so after a year, what can I say - I am very pleased with the machine, my husband also did not really care about the purchase at first, now he forgot that she was not there before))) I have normal hands, I do not wash the dishes for 2 hours when everything is already have been sleeping for a long time. My husband and I stopped swearing))) when asked who will wash,))))
about the detergents, when I just watched them it seemed to me it would be expensive, but I am a person who loves to search and buy something at a discount and cheaper))) I used a lot of things and tried a lot like we have in the Samara region. Tolyatti hard water I took a kilogram of salt for a month with daily washing 1 time a day. (I calmly set up the machine for hardness by buying a special indicator for determining the hardness of water in a pet store) I bought different salt, but now I use tableted salt for softeners of large filters, the system is the same as in PMM with the same ion-exchange resin, I bought this bag in Leroy merlin 25kg for 550r will be enough for me for 3 years for sure, yes, sometimes the sensor is on that there is no salt, although it is there, but this is when the salt is almost wasted, more often I try to fill up without waiting, I read on the forums at the Bosheymens - sometimes it does not pills a sensor, but it's not scary, you know that it is, and by the way, some companies produce the same tablet for PMM but in boxes for 1kg of 200 rubles)))
As for the savings, they wrote above)))) my standard fairy bottle took 1.5 months or even a month, I honestly don't know how some users are enough for half a year)))
I tried a bunch of cheap and cheap products, and I can't say very much from myself, everyone will wash the dishes, but the result may not be the same, and again it all depends on how correctly you loaded it and which mode you chose, someone washes almost always on a short mode at 45 degrees and complains that it is not washed.
As for the prices, I buy somat. I liked the finish and other powders very much to wash them with powders, they can be dosed according to the degree of soiling of the dishes and come out much more economically than tablets, according to the action in the tape you can buy a 3 kg canister of somat for 450 rubles, this will be enough for a long time. tablets, if you do not buy a fancy finish and capsules with fairies, you can buy simpler ones, which are excellent for washing, for example, from a company with a tape, it is in a box of 60 pieces, they are made in Germany and you do not need to remove the packaging from them, even sometimes I cut it in half, just fine. Also, the shares come out at 6p per thing, it happened and cheaper. By the way, the tape tablets in a package of 30 pieces are completely different, do not confuse them, they are Russian-made, they are washed !, but not so good.
Rinse aids are also different for me, sometimes I pour different ones at the same time, I just don't wait for the light to turn on, but top it up from time to time. Let me remind you that salt should always be in the PMM, no matter whether you use a pill or powder, do not believe everything that is written on the boxes with pills and powders, believe your dishes, your PMM and your instructions on how to properly set up your PMM.
I clean with a special cleaner every few months for prophylaxis, I have never seen grease and limescale on the filter or on baskets or impellers.I don't wash the dishes in front of the PMM, I just brush off the LARGE parts, for all normal washing programs the rinsing is the very first, just the same food remains, then the water is drained and poured clean, then the compartment with the detergent opens and it starts to wash with the detergent in clean water ...
If, for some reason, you have a white coating on the dishes or, on the contrary, rainbow on the cutlery, you can easily fix it by running a short program. I have 45 degrees for glass adding instead of washing a teaspoon of citric acid.
Someone wrote that the narrow one is not quite good, so that the impeller spins in a circle and does not exhale ........ for Siemens and Bosches, narrow machines have 2 impellers in the upper basket, perhaps some other manufacturers have this, everything is washed, the main thing is to arrange the dishes correctly, and I sometimes load in 2 layers and fit 3 pots at the bottom and 6 more plates and cutlery))))
about the size ........ I have a kitchen of 5-6 meters, the machine stands in the opposite corner from the sink, where there was a place. and we from a family of 4 people easily have enough of it, again someone puts a wide one and washes 3 plates in it, and someone puts the floor of a dish cabinet in a tabletop, this is a matter of choice and desire of everyone. By the way, I have different dishes and I haven't changed anything under the dishwasher, but we have 9 glasses, children rarely use them yet, the standard set of Luminark is white with flowers, there are about 2 sets of spoons forks, I just don't put something in the PMM, like duralumin and wood. and so my absolutely everything.
The plaque from the broth is washed off, it happens that it may not be washed off in pots in which the bottom goes to expand, such as pots for the oven and, accordingly, this is a mode of 70 degrees. I read a lot that in the eco mode of 50 degrees, it washes badly, I have the same opinion and I just don’t use it.
I wrote a lot of words, I will add the main thing from myself, I needed it, I use it every day, I love my German assistant very much and I don’t want to go without a dishwasher because having washed your dishes in it several times, you don’t recognize her. free time, and silence and idyll in the family ........ and of course your pens !!! she is worth it all
