Most buyers of dishwashers are important not so much their parameters, so much the cost. This does not mean that many are ready to buy the first cheap PMM that they come across - they just want to get decent functionality for their money. How much is a dishwasher today? Prices, depending on the brand and characteristics, can vary from 10,000 rubles to 250,000.
Given such a wide spread, it is worthwhile to figure out how cheap models differ from expensive ones and whether it is worth paying more. This topic is dedicated to our review.
What affects the price of a dishwasher
Everything seems to be simple. These are technologies used for housing and parts materials, labor costs, the cost of equipment for the production of PMM, as well as its depreciation. To all this you can add the costs of logistics and other expenses that are included in the cost of equipment. This is what marketing experts are pushing for by calculating the final cost of the product.
In fact, everything is much more complicated. The cost of manufacturing dishwashers of famous brands is only 30% of the final prices. Everything else is net profit. Experts say that Bosch spends up to 28% of the market price of machines for their manufacture, and advertising takes 17%. At the same time, brand owners make sure that the price of the Bosch PMM does not exceed the limits set by marketers.
But you should never forget about the intermediaries between the factory and the consumer - they, too, can impose a significant percentage. There are vivid examples of how intermediaries can “wind up” the cost of dishwashers (take the data of online stores):
- Candy CDCF6 - this compact machine, according to YandexMarket, can cost from 12 630 rubles to 15 590 rubles. But 3000 is far from the limit of the run-up of prices, see below, as it happens.
Important! We do not call online stores and do not give links to their sites, so as not to do advertising. If desired, you can independently verify the data.
- Bosch SKS 51E22 is another compact dishwasher that can cost from 26,990 rubles to 30,800 rubles. Here the difference is already almost 4000.
- Bosch SPS 50E42 - the price of a narrow freestanding machine ranges from 26 970 to 33 900 rubles, and this is a difference of almost 7000!
- A full-size floor Hansa ZWM 646 IEH costs from 23,490 to 28,979 rubles. The difference is 5489.
This list goes on and on. It is easier to go to any online electronic catalog of products of online stores of Runet and visually familiarize yourself with the price difference in order to choose the most profitable options and avoid overpayments.
Often overpriced due to rent, advertising costs and other nuances. Therefore, we advise you to carefully study the offers at once in several outlets, so as not to accidentally overpay 2 times the real cost.
Popular low price options
Cars from an affordable or "budget" price category are the most bought. It is believed that the quality of parts, assembly and washing themselves is much worse than that of more expensive PMMs. But this still needs to be proved.
Important! In this part of our review, we look at cars worth up to 30,000.
Indesit DSG 2637
Freestanding PMMs in this price category are represented by the Indesit machine. This is a narrow floor dishwasher 45 cm wide.
Classes of drying, washing and energy efficiency - A. The hopper holds up to 10 cookware sets, while the water consumption for one washing cycle is 10 liters. Noise - 49 dB. This is an economical dishwasher with 5 programs and the same number of temperature conditions. The design is supplemented by condensation drying.
Its average cost is 13,900 rubles.
Bosch SMS 40D02
The representative of the Bosch concern was included in the rating of cheap cars. With a price tag of 26,490 rubles, this full-size stationary PMM has good characteristics.Higher classes of drying and washing, A-class energy efficiency. A capacity of 12 sets corresponds to a water flow rate of 12 liters per wash cycle. Electricity consumption - 1.05 kW / h.
The machine is noisy at 48 dB. From the functional: 4 washing programs (regular, express, economy and soaking) and 3 temperature settings. A complete type of leakage protection has been implemented, and there is also a turbidity water sensor.
Bosch SKS 41E11
Small cars are convenient and practical, such as this compact Bosch desktop model. Dimensions are 55x50x45 cm (width, depth and height, respectively).
Features:
- capacity for 6 dishes;
- 8 liters - water consumption;
- Noise - 54 dB;
- 4 programs and the same number of temperature modes;
- condensation type drying;
- partial leakage protection;
- the use of universal 3-in-1 tools is permissible.
At the same time, the machine does not have a display, turbidity sensor, half load, automatic water hardness and an audible signal at the end of the washing cycle. Perhaps all these little things would make the design of a tiny "assistant" heavier.
As for the cost, at the moment there is a run from 19,950 to 27,190 rubles. Is it worth overpaying more than 7,000 rubles for such a limited functionality? We believe: it’s not worth it, so look for outlets with the most reasonable price offer.
As you can see, judging by the options described, “cheap” - this does not mean “bad”. If you look at the lowest prices and correlate them with the functionality, you can choose an inexpensive and quite decent option for a house or a summer residence.
PMM from the middle price category
Dishwashers worth from 30,000 to 60,000 rubles fell into the middle price category. Perhaps the best cars in terms of price and quality are in the middle price segment.
Bosch SMS 53N12
Floor standing freestanding machine, width - 60 cm. All classes - A, capacity is 13 sets. Electronic type control with convenient display. Protection against child intervention is provided. Water consumption per cycle is 10 liters. Reduced energy consumption will be 0.93 kW / h. The duration of a regular program is 2 hours 20 minutes. Noise - 46 dB.
There are 5 programs and 4 temperature modes. Condensation type drying. In their reviews, users respond positively to such modes as "Intensive", "Express" and "Economy". For ease of use, a half-hopper loading mode is provided. The design includes a flowing water heater.
Other features:
- delayed launch of the program up to 24 hours;
- full leakage protection;
- turbidity sensor;
- the possibility of using universal capsules;
- level control of salt and rinse aid;
- the inner surface of the hopper is high quality stainless steel.
The spread in prices is insignificant: from 47,990 to 48,340 rubles.
Bosch SPS 68M62
An excellent alternative to the built-in model is a stationary narrow machine. Its capacity is 10 sets, and users appreciated the rather quiet operation of the device (only 44 dB). Efficiency is determined by energy class A, and the quality of washing and drying by higher classes is also A. Water consumption is only 9 liters, the number of available modes is 6.
We noticed a shocking difference in cost, depending on the outlet (online store): from 41 950 to 67 050 rubles. We are at a loss to explain the difference of 25,000 rubles.
Kaiser S6086XL
This is a regular German-made stationary model. With its dimensions (60x64x82 cm - width, depth and height) the capacity of the hopper is 14 sets. The functionality is also at its best - there are as many as 8 programs (delicate, economical, soaking and others) and 4 temperature modes. Complete leakage protection. There is also a delayed start timer and indicators of rinse aid and regenerating salt.
You can purchase this dishwasher at a cost of 54,990 to 62,490 rubles.
Important! Kaiser PMM rarely occupy a place in the middle price segment, since the brand is recognized as an elite one, which supplies exclusively Premium class equipment to the market. This is a vivid example of the fact that sometimes at an average price you can buy a fairly good dishwasher.
In the middle segment, you can also find offers from Ariston, Electrolux or Siemens. But let's move on to more expensive technology.
Premium Dishwashers
This is the "elite" in the world of dishwashing equipment. Get ready for the fact that you will pay 4/10 of the cost of the PMM for a beautiful logo, and not for a set of functions. Although there is still a difference in the design, special models come up with expensive models. The price range of premium cars is from 60,000 rubles and above.
Smeg STP364S
A full-sized and fully integrated machine, the price of which should be announced immediately: 117,290 rubles.
For what “pleasure” you pay so much:
- hopper for 14 sets;
- washing and drying classes - A;
- energy efficiency class - A;
- the presence of a display;
- water consumption - 11 liters and electricity - 0.92 kW / h;
- noise level 45 dB;
- 9 programs;
- condensation drying;
- full type of protection against leakage;
- automatic opening of the door at the end of the wash;
- connection to one phase and others.
Otherwise, this model is not much different from thousands of other dishwashers of less hyped brands.
De Dietrich DVH1180GJ
Floor dishwasher 60 cm wide. Slightly cheaper than the competition from Smeg - can be purchased for 103 475 rubles.
This roomy model (14 sets) excites the imagination with a brilliant design. Production is truly German. There are 8 washing programs. There is also a turbo dryer, a bunker light, a “beam on the floor” and a host of other “chips”.
Separately, we note a low noise level during operation - only 39 dB. This model has everything that can be requested from the dishwasher, except for the possibility of automatic regulation of water hardness. This feature is rarely found even in the most expensive models - almost always it must be done manually. Turning the knob to the desired mark, after doing a stiffness test, is not difficult, so it’s difficult to call this a minus.
Miele G 6583 SCVi K2O
The price for this “beauty” is set by the Miele company salon and amounts to 170,900 rubles. Full-size and 100% built-in PMM is characterized by energy efficiency class, the maximum for today is A +++.
Low noise at 41 dB, full protection against leakage, Knock2Open technology, an automatic door opener is not a complete list of its advantages. The parental control function is not provided, as in the built-in models the probability of accidental pressing is reduced. Auto-rigidity is also not. It would seem that for such money in the dishwasher there should even be a built-in Wi-Fi router or, at least, an MP3 player. But we warned, part of the price tag is the payment for the fame of the company.
So, having reviewed the most popular PMMs, we can conclude that the choice of customers most often falls on Bosch brand equipment. Indeed, Bosch dishwashers combine excellent quality, German technology and an affordable price. The rest of the cars are also worthy competitors, just for some reason the situation has developed that way. Expensive cars are the prerogative of wealthy citizens, therefore, the demand for them is many times lower.
Now you know how to choose a machine without overpaying a dime. Good luck!
