The purchase of a dishwasher is a serious step that requires a balanced decision. To choose the right model, you need to study a lot of information, interrogate other users, bypass stores. We offer to slightly reduce preparation for the purchase with our review: you will find out what a reliable dishwasher should be and what criteria to use when choosing it.
What is the reliability of the dishwasher
Looking for the most reliable machine, users begin by studying the parameters of the PMM. Reliability is not just a characteristic, but a combination of a number of factors, such as build quality and components, brand trust, cost and user reviews.
Important! Reliability is also determined by the frequency with which dishwasher owners contact service centers.
Consider each factor individually so that you can form an opinion on what a reliable dishwasher is.
Parts Material
The first thing you should pay attention to. Internal parts are easy to see with the naked eye and even touch. The most reliable models are equipped with baskets and containers made of stainless steel, rather than painted metal or plastic. Plastic elements are only acceptable for ease of use or aesthetics.
Assembly - country and quality
The most reliable household appliances comes to us from two European countries - Germany and Italy. In this regard, users often choose PMM of such brands as Bosch, Siemens (Germany), Electrolux (Sweden).
On a note! Spanish and Swedish dishwashers are often not inferior in quality to German and Italian counterparts.
Cost
A model from the Premium class is much more likely to be recognized as reliable than a machine from the Economy class. Premium cars are assembled exclusively from high quality parts.
Unfortunately, after the rapid growth of the exchange rate, European equipment in the Russian Federation has risen at least twice. Therefore, to buy a truly reliable equipment, now you have to pay at least 57,000 rubles.
According to statistics, not all buyers are willing to pay more, even if the manufacturer guarantees the highest quality products. Therefore, the lion's share of Russians choose PMM from the middle price segment. Unfortunately, in such a technique, the quality of parts is lower, reliability is a big question.
Fact! This review is about the most reliable models. Among the options from the middle price category, there are quite decent cars that will work for 10 years, if you're lucky. But we do not undertake 100% to talk about the quality of such options.
Degree of protection
It’s not even about what such a system should be - its presence in a reliable machine is mandatory, but about its quality. It must be a magnetic type full protection, such as Aquastop or Waterproof.
German dishwashers: notorious quality
Germany is the No. 1 supplier of the highest quality dishwashers, washing machines and other equipment. Which brands are leading?
- The absolute leader in sales of PMM in Russia is the Bosch concern. Buyers can choose a model from both high and medium price categories. But be careful - read the marking, because often production is carried outside of Germany. Bosch Polish, Italian and even Chinese dishwashers are delivered to our stores. Remember that the most reliable equipment is assembled in Germany.
- Siemens is the second most famous and popular brand that users love for the combination of reasonable price and stylish design.
For reference! PMM Bosch and Siemens - products of one concern.
- AEG is a leader in sales of home and household appliances in Europe. This large company has earned recognition for the high quality of its products. In the Russian Federation, dishwashers of this brand can be found on the market, but often the purchase is hindered by the price.
- Another famous company that offers premium-class vehicles is Miele. All machines of this brand, before going on sale, are fully tested for quality of operation. Only after multiple tests and confirmation of operability, the technician is sent for implementation. This is reflected in the price.
Fact! Researchers from the UK reported that only 6% of the total number of owners of German-made equipment requested the services of a master. The most frequent failures, according to testing, happen with PMM brand Indesit.
Every 8th user of a Bosch, Siemens or Mile dishwasher recommends buying others the appliances of this particular brand. Of course, no equipment is safe from damage, and because of the hardness of the water, heaters can quickly fail. In any case, replacing the heater is cheaper than buying a new dishwasher every few years.

Since the model is very popular in Russia, we give you user reviews:
Igor, Krasnodar
Very quiet and reliable machine - it costs me almost 7 years. And it’s not just worth it, but it works every day. I do not take 3-in-1 tablets, I have everything separately: powder, salt and rinse aid - this way the quality of the wash is many times better. If it breaks, then I will look for the same or from this line.
Victoria, Moscow
The most common dishwasher, did not find any special "bells and whistles" in it. The main thing is that it works. Once leaked, but the protection worked, the husband had to unwind, watch. Before that, too, was Bosch, worked for 16 years. I'm not sure that now the build quality is just as cool, and I didn’t get a German machine, judging by the marking.
Siemens SN 678X50 TR
Fully built-in PMM, 60 cm wide, designed for 14 sets. Has the highest classes of washing and drying, energy efficiency class A. Relatively low-noise operation (43 dB). The panel is protected from the intervention of children. This PMM spends 10 liters of water for 1 wash cycle. 6 programs, 6 temperature modes, condensation drying, half load - the “track record” of the German PMM. Features are the same as the previous 3 models, but there are still such options:
- night mode;
- intensiveZone;
- VarioSpeed Plus;
- HygienePlus;
- iQdrive engine
- touch control;
- drying Zeolite and others.
The average cost of PMM is in the range of 86,000 rubles.
Should I pay attention to other brands
We decided that not only German Bosch and Siemens dishwashers, but also products from other manufacturers are worthy of our review.
Important! We intentionally do not consider narrow models of 45 cm, because we are sure that the compact arrangement of parts does not affect the reliability of the equipment in the best way.
Electrolux ESL 97345 RO
2017's new home appliance market - Electrolux ESL 97345 RO. Capacity - 13 sets, the highest classes of drying and washing.
6 programs, 5 temperature modes, delayed start and full protection against leakage - excellent functionality.
Manufacturers did not provide:
- partial load;
- parental control;
- auto installation of water hardness;
- the ability to wash with universal capsules or tablets.
At the same time, there is a convenient beam on the floor; baskets are made of good stainless steel. There is a holder of wine glasses and such useful options as XtraDry, Time manager and a boot sensor. An optional FlexiSpray is also provided.
The cost is within 62,000 rubles.
Important! Inexpensive analogues from brands such as Indesit, Ariston and others, we will not consider in view of the above reasons.
Now you know what a reliable dishwasher is, by what parameters and criteria to choose it. If reliability is important to you, you will have to pay extra. But, if you buy really good equipment, it will thank you for years of uninterrupted service.
