The process of buying a dishwasher is quite a painstaking task, because you buy it for several years and expect that it will serve you well, a lot of things depend on its parameters. How to find the very dishwasher that will best clean the dishes from pollution and at the same time spend as little water and electricity as possible. Do the parameters of the built-in and static dishwashers 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 energy consumption (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, power parameters correspond to 1.11 to 1.5 kW.
More recently, a class A + dishwasher was invented, which includes an “economical washing” 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, 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. You must immediately determine which source of water you connect it to, cold or hot.
