Features of mini dishwashers
The small kitchen area does not make installing a PMM impossible. The main thing is to choose a compact model, the dimensions of which correspond to the free space under the sink.
A mini dishwasher standing on the countertop takes up useful space. And the furniture section under the sink is usually empty, so you can hide the machine behind its door.
Small pmm under the sink
Compact dishwashers are designed for 4-8 sets of dishes, depending on the model, and have a basic set of operating programs, as well as additional features:
- delay start timer;
- child lock;
- protection against leaks.
So the miniature machine will become a reliable housewife’s assistant and will not take up much space in the kitchen. The production of compact dishwashing equipment is carried out by such companies as: Siemens, Midea, Korting, Hansa, Candy, Flavia and others.
Dimensions
Each owner has a sink of his own size, and this point is important for choosing the right model of dishwasher. In those days when houses were built according to standard designs, the entire space for a sink was usually 55 cm. And for ease of installation, the dimensions should be slightly smaller than the standard parameter.
This is what a dishwasher might look like under the sink.
The height of the bedside table is also important, and if the average value is about 80-85 cm, then the presence of a siphon greatly limits installation possibilities. And if the arrangement of the siphon is done according to the old scheme, with a distance to the floor of up to 40 cm, then manufacturers do not produce equipment of this size, and the entire water drainage device will have to be redone.
