Bosch dishwasher device: are there any differences from other brands

The internal design of Bosh dishwashers has some functional differences from similar devices of competitive brands. A tank with niches for placing dishes is installed inside the body. The motor located at the bottom sends an impulse to the spray arm, which rinses the water and flushes the detergent out of the dispenser.

When the dishwasher is started, the door is locked, and it is removed only when all excess moisture after the next cycle of rinsing the kitchen utensils has gone through the drainage into the sewer. The water heating element performs its function only when there is such a requirement in the selected dishwashing mode. Despite such simple elements involved in control, Bosch devices contain the following structural details that others may not have:

  1. Heat exchanger - such an element in household appliances helps to dry both the washed dishes and the inside of the dishwasher without significant energy consumption.
  2. Purity sensor. The sensor type of the structural element, which is located in the inner part of the case, and determines the degree of contamination of the liquid in the dishwasher. If necessary, sends a signal to the control panel to replace the water.
  3. Turbo drying function not available in all models, more often in expensive ones. This operation is carried out by operating an additional heater and fan.
  4. Glass holders and fragile glassware are provided exclusively in the models of Bosh machines in the middle price segment. Those device options that are cheaper do not provide for such an opportunity.

Summary of the operating instructions for Bosch dishwashers: requirements for users

If you plan to wash baby dishes in typewriters, you should choose hypoallergenic detergents.
  1. You know that dishwashers are powered by electricity, therefore, you need to think over its connection in advance. It will be even better if you install a ground connection to the device or an RCD.
  2. Arrange the dishes correctly. The machine has special compartments for each type of kitchen utensil. This is the only way to count on the perfect cleanliness of cutlery.
  3. Choose professional detergents. You do not need to use hand-type dish gels. They create too much foam, which can cause an error in the dishwasher.
  4. Choose the processing mode correctly. If dense cutlery can be processed at high temperatures, then for fragile plates or glasses it is better to use the delicate mode.

Observe, of course, the requirements for the connection and further use of the device. This will prolong the life of the device and will not cripple yours.

What are the criteria for choosing dishwashers?

Buying any household appliances, including dishwashers, must be done deliberately. Indeed, in the future, a situation may arise that you will simply be disappointed in your miracle technique. Therefore, you should know several criteria:

  1. When everything has already been decided with the trademark, the parameters of both the outer part of the device and the dimensions of the inner chamber should be clarified. It depends on how many dishes you can wash at the same time.
  2. Cleaning class A, B or C. The first class corresponds to the ideal level of cleanliness of the dishes. If you take a dishwasher marked B or C, then you can be sure that some items of the dishes may have uncleaned contamination.
  3. The amount of water. For this indicator, dishwasher machines are also divided into classes. The most practical are options with class A, which consume up to 15 liters of water at a time. Other high consumption options are considered less economical.
  4. Drying types. It's good when the model has all three modes. Turbo drying and intensive mode will help dry the dishes in a short period of time, while the condensation mode will perform the procedure carefully, but slowly.
  5. Availability of features such as soaking and additional rinsing. This will help with heavily dirty dishes that remain after the big holidays. In this case, even the weakest machine is able to remove all excess dirt.
  6. It is necessary to say about safety, but only the owner should think it over by installing an RCD or grounding. All that the manufacturer can offer you is the presence of functions of protection against children and leaks.
