Purchasing a dishwasher is a serious step. It is especially difficult for a potential buyer to decide whether he needs a built-in dishwasher or a built-in dishwasher. Or maybe you should pay attention to partially embedded models? The differences between these three types of PMM we will understand in the review. Let's compare all the cars by type of embedding and make a rating of models from leading brands.
Fully Integrated PMM: Differences
Fully built-in machine requires installation in the kitchen. From above it is covered with a countertop, and the door is hidden behind a facade made in the same textured and color scheme as the furniture. With the door closed, there will not even be a hint that there is a dishwasher in your kitchen - this is the main difference between the machine and the ability to be built-in from a freestanding one.
Dishwashers are distinguished by such positive aspects:
- maintain the integrity of the design solution in the room;
- protected from being pressed by children;
- quieter work in comparison with a separate PMM, judging by user reviews.
The only drawback of the technology with full integration is that it must be installed in a niche - it cannot be put separately, since there are no decorative panels on it. If you do not hang a facade on it, there may be problems opening or closing the door.
On a note! With similar declared characteristics, fully integrated cars are somewhat more expensive than other models (even within the same brand).
Typically, the dimensions of fully integrated machines are as follows (the ratio of width, depth and height):
- 55x45x59 cm - compact models that hold up to 6 sets of dishes;
- 45x60x82 cm - narrow cars with a volume of up to 11 sets;
- 60x60x82 cm - full-size PMM, wash up to 17 sets per cycle.

Cars with an open panel
Partially built-in dishwasher differs from the previous one in that its user unit with buttons and a conventional or touch display is moved outside the built-in housing, located on the door. Under it is located the front part of the headset or a decorative factory panel. An option for those who are not going to hide stylish and ergonomic appliances behind the furniture facade.
On a note! There are such PMMs, which can also be partially integrated due to the removable top cover. By removing the panel, you can cover the machine with a worktop, simulate embedding.
Like fully integrated machines, incomplete built-in dishwashers are available in compact, narrow and full-sized housings.
Consider such models as an example:
Siemens SN 578S00 TR
Floor-standing dishwasher 60 cm wide, with the possibility of partial installation in the set. Designed for 14 cookware sets. All classes are higher: A (washing, drying, energy efficiency). There is a display and child protection. Low noise level of 42 dB facilitates operation. Programs: 8, temperature conditions: 6.

Delayed start, protection against accidental pressing, an audio signal at the end of the cycle - an incomplete list of all the advantages of the model. Noise in the permissible norm is 45 dB.
The cost is from 43,000 to 64,999 rubles.
Non-Integrated PMM
Non-integrated machine - what does it mean? The more familiar name for such a dishwasher is freestanding. The main difference, thanks to which it is easy to compare with other machines, is a large selection of location, which is especially convenient when connected to communications. On the side and on the facade, such cars are covered with decorative panels. Outwardly, they resemble vertical washing machines.
The technical parameters of freestanding PMMs are not inferior to the built-in options, especially for full-size models. The main thing that customers are guided by when choosing such a PMM is its appearance, aesthetics, ergonomics. Particularly successfully, a freestanding dishwasher will fit into the interior of a large kitchen if it is installed outside the kitchen set.
Important! Models that do not have a built-in function have a fairly rich color scheme. Everyone will find an exclusive option for their design.
Like all others, non-built dishwashers are made in three types of housing: narrow, full-sized and compact (for a small kitchen). You can also separate them according to the installation principle: floor and table.

To determine which is better - a narrow, compact or full-sized machine, it is worth comparing the built-in and non-built PMMs first. We did this, now you know all their pros and cons, features of choice, examples from the lineup of leading brands. Decide whether you will decorate the kitchen with new appliances, or you will not violate the ideological range of the kitchen space. Have a good shopping!
