First, write on the front
Before installing the dishwasher, I stared at my wife who was washing dishes and said, "Honey, hard work!" The wife said, "Get out."
After installing the dishwasher, I told my wife in a high spirit, "Put the bowl in the dishwasher!" The wife said, "Good drop."
Some things that you will only understand if you have used them, such as dishwashers. Since I installed a dishwasher in my home, my wife and I have never argued over washing dishes, and family happiness has skyrocketed.
Before a small partner budgeted less than 10,000, let me help recommend a dishwasher that washes clean enough. There is a saying, to the price of more than six thousand, basically all dishwashers can ensure that the surface of the tableware looks very clean, but it is really rare to do the two invisible "clean" of drying and sanitize, that is a really good dishwasher.
Second, the significance of tableware drying and sanitize
Most dishwashers in the cleaning process will use high temperature hot water + detergent to remove oil and continue to sterilize, I want to say that the tableware cleaning is only "surface work", after washing drying and sanitize is an important reference to measure whether a dishwasher is practical and can meet the needs of Chinese people.
(1) Drying is not dry: bowl basket, water droplets on the inner wall - easy to breed bacteria
When you open the hatch with joy after washing the dishes and chopsticks, the first thing you see is a series of water stains left on the tableware and inner wall, will you still be in a good mood? If it were me, I would definitely walk away disappointed + frustrated.
Affecting the mood is a small thing, the most important thing is that the confined space, the right temperature, the wet environment, this is the best environment for breeding bacteria, the dishwasher immediately becomes a hotbed of bacteria, think about it is terrible. Especially in summer, dishes and chopsticks are easy to smell when stored in this environment for a period of time, who can still eat?
This is the disadvantage of dishwasher not drying.
(2) Dry: the inner wall is completely dry, no water droplet residue - the bowl is longer and cleaner
If the drying performance is excellent, there is no water droplet residue on the surface of the dishes and chopsticks and the inner wall of the dishwasher after washing, so that the above problems can be avoided: it will not breed bacteria, will not produce peculiar smells, and with sanitize means, you can store the tableware in the dishwasher for a long time.
The dishwasher Huiman S3 that I am using now at home, its hot air drying effect is very good, and there is no water droplet residue after washing. With a sanitize method comparable to a professional disinfection cabinet, I can safely store the dishes in the dishwasher for up to 168 hours, usually using it as you go, which is very worry-free.
Third, the drying method
So is there a hard indicator that can recognize the "lies" of merchants? The answer is, of course, before moving out the hard indicators, let's go through the major drying methods as usual, and at the same time talk about what are the representative brands?
At present, there are probably several common drying methods for dishwashers: residual temperature drying, heat exchange drying, hot air drying, automatic door drying and drying, crystal bud drying, etc., from the effect order: automatic door drying > hot air drying> crystal bud drying> heat exchange drying > residual temperature drying
(1) Residual temperature drying | Recommended index: ★★
As the name implies, residual temperature drying is to use the high temperature after washing in the dishwasher to evaporate the surface of the tableware, which is also the basis for drying in every dishwasher, but this drying method has a premise:
Personally, I don't recommend this single drying method, after all, our Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, and the tableware used is also varied, if you don't want to open the dried dishwasher like opening a blind box, then continue to look down
(2) Heat exchange drying | Recommended index: ★★★
The principle of heat exchange drying is that after the dishwashing task, the temperature in the cabin is high, and the integrated waterway in the bowl machine is immediately injected with cold water to cool the inner wall quickly, widen the temperature difference in the cabin, evaporate the water droplets remaining on the tableware and inner wall, condense the water vapor into water adsorbed on the surface of the inner wall, and slowly slide and discharge.
The advantages of heat exchange drying are low energy consumption and no secondary pollution, but the drying speed is slow, it is easy to become a hotbed of bacteria, and it is not easy to store tableware for a long time. Heat exchange drying can also be understood as upgraded residual temperature drying, which is better than separate residual temperature drying, but compared to automatic door opening and hot air drying, it is a bit of a boot itch, among which the more representative brands are Siemens 236 and 636 series.
(3) Hot air drying | Recommended index: ★★★★
Hot air drying is also as the name implies, the outside air enters from the air inlet, is heated by the heating module and cooperates with the fan and blown into the dishwasher cabin, and then discharges moisture through the exhaust port, thereby periodically reciprocating to achieve the effect of rapid drying.
Hot air drying has good effect, low cost and high cost performance, and is currently one of the most mainstream drying methods. Basically, most ordinary dishwashers are dried with hot air, such as Midea, Fangtai, Boss and so on.
(4) Automatic door opening and drying | Recommended index: ★★★★★
As the name suggests, the hatch automatically pops open after cleaning, and the air flow of natural wind is used to exchange heat to achieve the drying effect.
Automatic door drying is currently a relatively energy-saving and efficient drying method, which is adopted by many foreign high-end brands. However, the combination drying mode of hot air drying + automatic door opening is much more advanced, and the drying speed is faster and the drying efficiency is higher.
The more representative brands are Miele, Huiman, Haier and Casati
(5) Adsorption drying | Recommended index: ★★★
With the help of natural ore buds and zeolite absorb moisture in the chamber and release heat at the same time to achieve the drying effect.
The adsorption area of the bud is very large, and the adsorption area of 1kg of bud is about the size of the surface area of 150 football fields.
The advantages are energy saving, power saving, and good drying effect; The disadvantage is that the cost of consumables is high, and there is a certain possibility of heat and humidification, so the storage time is limited, generally 96 hours.
Representative brands include Siemens and Bosch.
4. China's water efficiency label
Regarding the drying effect of the dishwasher, just saying that it is not convincing. The dishwasher will have a set of professional water efficiency testing process when leaving the factory, and the test results are made into a "water efficiency label" pasted in a prominent position on the fuselage, and our consumers can more objectively understand the real data of the dishwasher in five aspects such as water efficiency level, drying index, cleaning index, working cycle water consumption and work cycle power consumption.
● If you are after drying: pay attention to the drying index - the higher the better
● If you're after cleanliness: Pay attention to the cleanliness index – the higher the better
● If you're looking for energy saving: Focus on cycle water usage and electricity usage – the lower the better
In addition, those who pursue energy-saving and excellent performance dishwashers can pay attention to the "Energy Efficiency Star" dishwasher issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which are popular models that cannot be mistakenly bought blindly.
5. Recommended for popular dishwashers
Different from a series of problems caused by the inefficient drying methods of condensation drying and heat exchange drying of ordinary dishwashers, the upgraded drying method equipped with high-end dishwashers may be your answer, such as automatic door opening drying, automatic door opening + hot air drying, crystal bud drying, etc.
We use the dishwasher for 7, 8 or even 10 years, so I recommend that you choose a high-end dishwasher in one step within the scope of your wallet when buying a dishwasher, which not only has good performance, but also is more durable. Don't try to buy a low-end entry-level machine cheaply, it won't take long to break, and then you have to spend money to buy a new one, wasting time, energy, and money.
In addition, I helped you sort out several recommended models, and you can place an order if you see the 618 event discount~
The order is recommended for everyone in order of drying index
Huiman B2 Pro
Drying index: 1.23
The Huiman B2 Pro is a medium-sized built-in dishwasher with 12 sets, which is perfectly adequate and delicious for a family of three! Like those that don't have enough embedded space and want to replace them with a sterilization cabinet, 10-12 sets of dishwashers are the best choice.
The drying effect is full, hot air drying + automatic door opening combination, the drying efficiency is higher and the effect is better, the drying index is as high as 1.23, and there is always a reason for the first introduction. The appearance is also outstanding, and the white wood grain panel is the first of its kind.
B2 pro is equipped with ultraviolet disinfection, baby sterilization function blessing has passed the mother and baby grade dishwasher certification, we can safely put the baby's bottle in the dishwasher to wash. In addition, it has also passed the national authoritative certification "Energy Efficiency Star Certification", efficient cleaning while more energy saving, drying and sterilization excellent performance makes 168 hours of storage bowls more secure.
Miele G5210
Drying index: 1.20
When it comes to automatic door opening, there is definitely a place for the Miele brand, and Miele's genius cabin dishwasher is one of them. The G5210 has a large capacity of 16 sets, and the exterior is available in black and white and stainless steel colors, and supports freestanding installation.
Miele G5210 adopts intelligent induction drying, which is equivalent to condensation + heat exchange drying, which can intelligently sense the environment in the cabin and adjust the operating time of the exhaust fan; At the same time, the automatic door opening is supplemented by drying, and after cleaning, the cabin door is ejected to release high-temperature moisture and speed up the drying speed. This dishwasher is a traditional high-temperature sterilizer and can store dishes for up to 96 hours.
Siemens 65Z
Drying index: 1.19
Siemens' dishwashers have always been a benchmark in the industry, after all, the brand influence and technology research and development scale are there. Siemens 65Z is equipped with a newly upgraded global cleaning system, which intelligently controls 4 rinsing areas and has strong cleaning power.
It adopts crystal bud drying + sterilization technology, auxiliary waste heat + condensation drying assistance, drying index 1.19, from the data point of view drying effect will not be bad. As for the storage time of 96 hours, or the reasons mentioned above, natural ores such as zeolite have the risk of releasing heat and moisture, so it is not recommended to store the bowl for too long.
A shortcoming that is not a shortcoming: high price. But all dishwashers that use crystal bud drying basically start with 10,000 yuan.
Huiman I3
Drying index: 1.18
The fully embedded installation of the Huiman i3 means that the appearance has been upgraded again, and in addition to the black and white standard panel, the panel can be customized according to the cabinet. In addition, the number of sets is also as large as 17 sets, with the adjustable lifting bowl basket, washing large caliber and special-shaped tableware is no problem.
More specially, Huiman I3 adopts a combination of hot air drying + automatic door opening, its hot air drying is stronger, it is a double fan hot air drying, one fan blows out 95 °C hot air to quickly evaporate the moisture on the surface of the tableware, the other is responsible for extracting the moisture in the cabin, improving the drying efficiency while obtaining a better drying effect, 30 minutes after opening the cabinet door has been fully dry, the real "all-round fast drying".
At the same time, the performance of Huiman I3 in sanitize is also outstanding, passing the maternal and infant dishwasher certification and five-star sanitize certification, in addition to baby sterilization, it is also equipped with 2 ultraviolet lamps, which has wider coverage and better sterilization effect. You know, many professional disinfection cabinets are the same principle. Cutlery can be stored for up to 168 hours.
Haier W5000
Drying index: 1.16
Also this year's popular model, Haier W5000 has been upgraded in all aspects, this is definitely Haier's high-end model, in addition to Haier's characteristic double-sided essence washing, there is also automatic door drying technology, drying index is also considerable, storage reached 168 hours.
The regular number of 15 sets can meet the daily needs of most families. Sterilization still adopts more traditional high-temperature disinfection, but the difference is that the W5000 has a higher boiling and washing temperature, and the sterilization rate reaches 99.999%.
Huiman S3
Drying index: 1.14
The drying and sanitize configuration of the Huiman S3 used in my home is basically the same as that of I3, the same double fan hot air drying + automatic door opening assistance, the same baby sterilization + double ultraviolet disinfection, and the same 168-hour tableware storage time. The S3 currently has a white capacity of 15 sets (previously 17 sets), and the price-performance ratio is ineffective.
Different from i3 is its installation method and appearance panel design, if it is embedded installation space is insufficient can consider independent placement, such as balcony, kitchen are a good choice, and the appearance of this S3 is a relatively textured white wood grain design, the value of the value of the value can also rest assured.
VI. Summary
I have pasted the detailed parameters and configurations of the recommended six dishwashers below for you to compare more intuitively.
In terms of cleaning ability, several dishwashers recommended in this article can be bought with confidence, the cleaning of household tableware is more than enough, but drying and sanitize have their own merits, in the choice of dishwasher need to be more careful consideration, after all, there is an old saying that "disease comes from the mouth", clean and hygienic tableware is closely related to our health.
According to the level of drying effect, it is recommended to prefer hot air drying + automatic door opening double drying machine, among many dishwashers with good drying effect, I still recommend several machines of Huiman (high-end line configuration of the foot).
Most family members can choose 17 sets of S3 and I3 capacity in one step;
If you want the same configuration and more cost-effective, you can choose 15 sets of S3;
A family of three or a small couple can choose the B2 Pro;
Small partners with sufficient budget, you can consider Siemens 65z and Miele's G5210, the drying performance exceeds the average of the same brand, it is worth buying.
