Comparison Whirlpool WFO 3T133 PF X stainless steel vs Whirlpool WFO 3C23 6.5 N X stainless steel

The amount of water used by the machine in one wash cycle. Usually, it is indicated for a standard (universal) programme — at full load, without pre-rinsing, etc. Accordingly, in special modes, the consumption may differ from the indicated one.

The lower the consumption, the better. On the other hand, a reduction in consumption can harm the quality of the wash. So, when choosing an cost-effective machine, you should pay special attention to the wash class (see below). In addition, only models of the same capacity can be compared in terms of consumption — after all, the more dishes, the more water is required to wash them.

Availability of additional nozzles, which can be integrated into different areas of the dishwasher's working chamber to improve the ability to effectively wash dishes. Most often, such nozzles refer to additional nozzles for spraying water jets at the bottom of the machine’s chamber. They deliver strong pressure to easily deal with stubborn and stubborn dirt deposits on pots, pans and other large utensils. However, additional nozzles can also be found in the area of the upper basket of the dishwasher, and they are intended for thorough cleaning of glasses, bottles and other similar utensils.

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.

It allows one to decipher the values of the noise level in decibels. It is marked, like other classes, in Latin letters, where A is the quietest class of dishwashers.
