We bring to your attention a dishwasher rating of 45 cm - consider their main characteristics and the latest offers of 2017 and previous years from leading brands.
Today, the home appliance market provides a huge selection of dishwashers of various heights, depths and widths. The user can choose a model with the ability to fully or partially embed, as well as a stationary version. Often, the choice of buyers dwells on models with a width of 45 cm - due to their compactness and the ability to install in a small kitchen.
Characteristics PMM 45 cm
Before you start choosing cars from the rating, you should understand their main parameters, understand which functionality is worth paying attention to, and which will be superfluous for you. Experts recommend relying on the following characteristics of narrow dishwashers:
- dimensions and connection options;
- the ability to embed - partial or full;
- shape and arrangement of dish containers;
- quality of washing and drying;
- functional;
- type of drying - condensation or turbo;
- water and electricity consumption.
Dimensions and connection
Dimensions PMM - a parameter on which the placement of equipment in your kitchen depends. The smaller the room, the more compact the PMM should be. Therefore, a narrow model of 45 cm is suitable for a small kitchen. At the same time, note that modest dimensions negatively affect the capacity of the hopper. A large family will have to use the machine 2-3 times a day, which will entail the excess of time and resource costs.
Connection options
Some cars have the ability to connect to hot water. This reduces the load on the heater, reduces energy consumption. On the other hand, hot water costs are rising. If you are not embarrassed by the tariffs in your area, you can choose this model. But the analysis of water supply tariffs showed that the savings are still in doubt, so there is no point in spending extra. And seasonal shutdown of hot water is not uncommon. Therefore, the review included mainly PMM with a water heater.
Important! Manufacturers themselves argue that connecting to cold water is more profitable and safer. Under the influence of hot process water, many parts of the dishwasher wear out many times faster. Also, harder water from the “hot pipe” will entail the cost of large doses of emollients.
Possibility to embed
5 out of 10 users report that they have a built-in dishwasher. This is due to the fact that it is easy to integrate any equipment into modern headsets - from the refrigerator to the PMM. Thanks to this, the design of the room looks organically and is not oversaturated with household appliances.
Dish basket configuration
When choosing a 45-cm machine, inspect the containers - you have to use them for a long time, so the more convenient the baskets, the better. Today, even in narrow typewriters, manufacturers have managed to place additional cutlery trays, small crochet hooks or wine glass holders. Often these add-ons are included, but sometimes accessories for dishwashers need to be purchased.
Washing quality
Two factors affect this parameter:
- The class indicated on the information sticker or in the technical documentation. Today they are denoted in Latin letters - from E to A, of which A is the highest.
- The correct laying of dishes and the right choice of detergents, rinse aid, regenerating salt for the dishwasher.
Functionality
It is desirable that the following modes are present in the 45 cm typewriter:
- "Main". It can have many names (daily or everyday washing), but the essence is the same: the dishes are washed in hot water for 120-180 minutes.
- “Super” - quick wash in hot water.
- Soak or Preliminary cycle. Suitable for removing old and dried dirt.
- "Express" washing. A cycle lasting 30-40 minutes. Suitable for small kitchen utensils.
These are the main modes that will provide the needs of modern use. Sometimes manufacturers manage to introduce up to 15 modes, but in fact of them no more than half are used. Given that narrow cars rarely have more than 5-6 programs, you will not be overpaid for extra options.
Drying
According to the standard, drying is based on the condensation principle - the so-called “natural” drying. Today you can often find turbo drying in machines equipped with superchargers. Convectors warm and circulate air in the bunker, so the dishes dry faster. For any "magic", you have to pay, so PMMs with turbo-dryers consume more electricity, but save your time - it's up to you.
Resource consumption
In order not to make a mistake in the selection, pay attention to the options and the possibility of disabling them. It happens that drying is forced and it is impossible to turn it off - such options can hardly be called economical. Hopper volumes also affect both water and energy consumption. The question is different - what can be present in the design to save water and electricity? These can be innovative rocker arms (sprinklers), saving up to 30% of water or turbidity sensors, reducing the number of rinses, if the water is already clean enough.
TOP 5 dishwashers 45 cm
Given the above parameters, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the market and selected 5 of the most worthy options that are suitable for almost any user. After reviewing our rating, you can choose a suitable model or make a personal list of cars with a width of 45 cm, one of which you will 100% buy.
BOSCH SPS 40E12 RU
Budget freestanding PMM "Bosch" with a capacity of 9 place settings.
Important! Manufacturers understand a set as a set of standard appliances for one person for one meal: 2 plates, a cup and saucer, a tablespoon and a teaspoon, a fork and a knife. Details of what a set of dishes are, read in a separate review.
The most useful of the four modes presented are “Soak” and “Economy” mode. Water consumption - 11 liters, electricity - 0.8 kW / h. The ability to control the temperature from +30 to +70 degrees with three temperature conditions. The user can completely lock the user panel so that children do not press buttons. For those who use differential tariffs for water and light, the manufacturer has provided a delayed start option. Dimensions: 45x60x85 cm in width, depth and height, respectively.
This machine topped the rating because it passed the test on all indicators and it turned out that SPS 40E12 RU:
- inexpensive;
- with a capacious hopper;
- can recognize the type of detergent;
- saves resources;
- has all kinds of protection.
Manufacturers claim that the model does not make noise, but in the technical documentation it is indicated - 54 dB. In this matter, it is worth relying on real reviews. The cost, according to YandexMarket, is from 18 350 rubles.

It was urgent to buy a car due to the breakdown of the old. She washes well and turns off after a cycle, which is also convenient. There is a significant minus: it makes a terrible noise. Fortunately, it stands in the kitchen, and in the "three rubles" it is not audible in all rooms. Still add a cycle of medium duration, and then only long and short. Without a display, it’s also inconvenient. Probably, this is what they call “price-quality” - now it’s clear why it is so cheap –– as it is, it washes.
CANDY CDP 4609
Narrow freestanding model from the Italian manufacturer, but, presumably, the Chinese assembly (see marking when buying). Unlike the previous model, it spends more water, but less electricity - 13 liters and 0.61 kW / h, respectively. There are 5 washing modes and 4 temperature settings. Child protection and partial leakage protection. You can use 3-in-1 tablets, and the machine will notify the depletion of salt or rinse aid with an indication.
CANDY CDP 4609 took the second place in the rating due to such features:
- low price - from 19 295 rubles;
- good washing (washing class - A);
- modest dimensions - 40x60x85 cm (WxDxH);
- capacity - 9 sets of dishes;
- profitability (energy class - A).

My wife and I picked up a model to fit into a kitchen covered with furniture and appliances. At first it seemed that 9 sets - this is a lot. Then they realized that we had non-standard dishes, and this is what we need. Of the minuses: noise. The time until the end of the work is still not counted, even if some kind of scoreboard is built in. Does not remember the program - if the lights are turned off, the cycle starts a new one.
SIEMENS SR24E205
A narrow freestanding budget dishwasher of European assembly with the highest classes of washing and drying. Energy consumption - class A. Hopper capacity - 9 sets. Profitability is ensured by a water consumption of 9 liters per wash cycle, energy - 0.78 kW / h. The duration of normal cycles is an average of 170 minutes. Noise is only 48 dB.
Washing modes 4 (including “Express” and “Economical”), temperature - 3. The user can delay the start from 3 to 9 hours. An added benefit of complete leakage protection. It can be used in conjunction with capsules or 3-in-1 tablets. As salt and rinse aid are consumed, the indicators light up. Automatic control of stiffness and sound signal is not provided. Additional usability is provided by the VarioSpeed option and load sensor. The design includes an innovative iQdrive motor.

Really quiet car. I can’t hear how the motor works and the water is collected / drained, only the noise of the sprinklers. In the studio apartment so far, when we move to another apartment, I think in other rooms from the kitchen we will not hear it. Pleased with the long hoses to install normally at a distance from the sink. We put a microwave on top, surprisingly the plastic top panel withstood and did not crack. Like drying - there is not a bit, you can immediately lay out on the shelves. No particular cons found. There are only flaws, but this is my subjective opinion: I personally do not have enough intensive washing. The door also prevents the bunker from being ventilated - there is a closer closing it with an automatic machine. In principle, this was a drawback only at the selection stage, then after testing the drying I realized that this was not necessary. I also delved into the instructions for a very long time to understand how to set up tablets - the solution turned out to be non-trivial. Maybe this is the case with all models from Siemens, but it seemed to me that the power cord is short. If in general I was satisfied with the purchase, but if I had more available funds, I would buy something more expensive.
LERAN FDW 45-096 WHITE
Relatively compact machine of the Chinese assembly - on top of the panel you can install other oversized household appliances. Capacity for 9 sets, the highest classes of washing and drying are not the only advantages. Profitability is ensured by the energy efficiency class A +, therefore, the energy consumption is at the level of 0.75 kW / h. Water consumption - 10 liters.
Important! The Leran brand entered the market not so long ago, but has already managed to gain a strong position and customer recognition thanks to the build quality and extensive equipment functionality.
Of the 6 modes, users mark “Intensive”, “Fast” and “Economic”. Delayed start and all types of protection, including the full Aquastop, are available. For additional savings, you can use the function of partial loading of the hopper.
Important! What is half loading, read in a separate review.
Why not:
- the use of 3-in-1 tablets;
- turbidity sensor;
- auto water hardness;
- automatic cycles;
- pre rinse.
An indisputable plus is the cost: from 16,490 rubles.
Electrolux ESF 2300 OK
The last place in the rating goes to the compact model ESF 2300 OK from Electrolux. The machine holds up to 6 cookware sets, designed for the highest class of washing - A. Almost silent - 48 dB. Drying was a little “disappointing” - class B. With a small PMM, it will be possible to save * water and energy: consumption of 7 liters and 0.63 kW / h, respectively.
* Provided one use per day. A few downloads and cycles daily, on the contrary, will give a greater consumption than a single launch of a full-size model.
Feature: the ability to connect to hot water. There is protection against leaks, a sensor of clean water, an indication of salt and rinse aid. The N-in-1 tablet does not support, there is no blocking from clicks and partial loading. 6 programs and a delay timer - an additional "plus" to the functionality. Weight is only 21 kg. The cost is from 22,000 to 37,000 rubles.

For some reason, it was surprising that you need to choose a program before closing the hopper door, and not after. But I have been working for the third year. I like the configuration of the baskets and the bunker itself - conveniently. A typical problem is that you need to monitor the beam so that it does not stop.

Plus in compactness. Otherwise, everything is bad: they repaired already three times - they spent at least 5,000 on craftsmen and parts. Not a single equipment in the house has so often broken. Not satisfied.
We conclude that for the most part all PMM 45 cm are similar in design and feature set. We examined various stationary dishwashers from leading brands, and how to choose a built-in dishwasher, read in another review.
