How to choose?

How to choose the right model? First of all, the size of the sink itself is taken into account. Most often in a small kitchen it is not wider than 55 cm, so you need to choose a dishwasher a little narrower.

You can stop at partially built-in dishwashers, and on freestanding models. A fully built-in dishwasher under the sink is not so convenient, since it needs a separate facade, and in this case, dismantling the washing doors is necessary.

Important! The installation must be organized correctly so as not to harm the water communications.
