Dishwashers: specifications, types
Place settings
The maximum number of place settings loaded into the dishwasher at once. A place setting is considered a set of dishes for one person: four plates (for the first course, for the second course, salad, bread), a saucer for dessert, a cup, a spoon and a fork.
The large capacity allows you to wash numerous dishes in the machine at once without starting the washing programme again. At the same time, a large capacity may be undesirable. Firstly, a capacious working chamber affects the dime...nsions of the entire machine. Secondly, such units consume more water. Thirdly, if there are not many dirty dishes, you either have to wait until it accumulates, or start an underloaded machine, wasting water and detergents. Therefore, when choosing according to this indicator, you need to consider real needs and not chase the maximum capacity.

Water consumption per cycle
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 c...lass (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.

Dryer type
The dishwasher has a drying function. Drying can occur both due to the natural evaporation of water from the surface of the dishes ( condensation drying), and due to turbo dry with heated air. The first option is more economical since it does not require energy. Besides, there is also an improved one — with a heat exchanger. It provides significantly faster drying. And the recently appeared new typ...e of drying Zeolith combines both methods because it firstly collects residual moisture and then generates it into heat, which dries the dishes and belongs to the premium segment models. Note that not all machines can dry dishes to complete dryness; see Drying class for details.
Auto door opening
Auto door opening at the end of the programme. This function is not only convenient but also acts as an end-of-cycle signal. In addition, the open door helps to speed up drying — excess moisture escapes through it.
Cutlery tray
The compartment for loading cutlery(spoons, forks, knives, etc.) into the dishwasher. Such a device is more convenient than a common basket. It allows you to load cutlery separately from the rest of the dishes, while the contents of the tray are compactly located in the “seats” specially designed for this. And the quality of washing is often higher than when using a common basket.
Total number of programmes
The number of washing programmes (modes) provided in the machine. These programmes may differ in duration, exposure intensity, water temperature, dish material (e.g. for delicate dishes), etc. For more information on the different options, see "Programmes". Note that with the same number of programmes, their specific set in different models may be various. These details should be clarified separately.
