Energy efficiency class (new)
This parameter shows the efficiency of electricity consumption by a dishwasher. Classes are designated in Latin letters from A to G, in ascending order of energy consumption. It was originally conceived until more energy-efficient models pulled up to class A, which eventually received the marking A +, A ++, and A +++. Further development of technology has made it possible to go even further and, in order not to produce pluses in energy efficiency labelling, in March 2021, manufacturers returned to the previous indices from G to A, where A is the most energy-efficient dishwasher. Accordingly, the 2021 models will have modern markings, while older models will be marked the old way.
Dimensions (HxWxD)
Dishwasher dimensions in height, width and depth, respectively. A fairly obvious parameter; we only note that often when looking for a place to install, the width and height of the unit are of key importance.
In most modern dishwashers, the width corresponds to one of the standard values (plus or minus a centimeter):
45 cm for narrow models,
65 cm for standard ones and
55 cm as a compromise between these dimensions. As for the second size, dishwashers with a height of up to 60 cm inclusive are usually classified as
compact, such models mainly involve installation on a table, cabinet or other similar stand. Height over 60 cm already allows you to put the machine
on the floor.
Country of origin
The country in which, according to the manufacturer, a model is manufactured. Despite the fact that most of the factories are concentrated in China, European factories (
Germany,
Italy,
Spain,
Turkey, Poland) for the production of household appliances have not gone away. And some models can be produced there. In general, such a division into a Chinese or European factory should not particularly affect the quality of products, but the stereotype of a reliable European assembly is present in us. However, it is possible that the model may have a country of manufacture, for example,
Poland, and in the store under the same article you will meet
China.
