When planning the kitchen, it is important to calculate everything to every square centimeter so that the furniture and interior items are in place. It happens that the layout of the room is thought out for a long time, and household appliances appear after arranging the interior and buying a kitchen unit. To correctly enter a dishwasher, it is worth knowing its parameters. When installing, you will be interested in such a characteristic as the depth of the dishwasher. We will devote our review to this issue.
Are there shallow PMM
Why measure the dishwasher if it is easier to pre-provide a niche in the furniture with a margin of up to 15 cm so that the machine can stand up and all communications fit? It is important that the width and height correspond to the size of the niche, and it is unreasonable to leave a large margin, otherwise unaesthetic gaps will appear.
It is worth calculating the technical points in advance. Suppose you have already purchased a 55 cm deep machine. What to consider:
- Set aside the base depth of 55 cm.
- Add space for hoses and other communications - 10 cm.
- Add 5 cm to the front. It will turn out 70 cm.
But what to do when the niche for the dishwasher is less than 70 cm? You can act on one of the scenarios:
- Reduce the design value by 5 cm, tighten the hoses.
- Find another place to install the PMM.
- Choose another model.
If the purchase has not yet been made, stop at the last option and look for a dishwasher with a smaller size. Today, the home appliance market offers dishwashers not only 55 cm deep, but also 50 cm deep. You can also often meet buyers who are looking for very shallow machines: 45 or 40 cm deep. Are there such PMMs?
Having made a small analysis of the assortment of the largest online stores in the Russian Federation, experts found that in the domestic market it is impossible to find a model with a depth of less than 48 cm. There are no cars at 45, 40 cm, and even more so 35 cm, at least in our country.
But compared to 55 cm, the minimum depth of 48 cm opens up opportunities for saving usable space. The downside is that such parameters are characteristic only for compact small-sized machines with less capacity and performance.
A compact machine is hardly suitable for a number of reasons - it holds a maximum of 8 cookware sets, is distinguished by noisy work and truncated functionality. Choosing a small model, you win a dozen centimeters of usable area, but lose in terms of the technical capabilities of the machine.
Fact! The performance of a small-sized washer is enough for 1-2 people.
As for the full-size freestanding and narrow machines - is there a PMM with a depth of less than 55 cm? We offer to understand this below.
