Not a bad article about new items from PMM. -
“Has brought together the most“ fashionable ”and efficient dishwashers (PMM) - with three pull-out baskets for dishes. The presence of the third basket is a current trend in the dishwashing market.
The main advantage of such machines is that a basket with forks and spoons does not take up space in the main baskets for dishes, and cutlery in a special tray (basket) is washed better. In our review - four "triple" models of different form factors and price segments.
Siemens SR65M081RU TimeLight
Let's open an overview of the narrow (width - 45 cm) fully integrated dishwasher Siemens SR65M081RU TimeLight. Suitable for kitchens with a shortage of free space. Capacity - up to 10 sets of dishes * (practice shows that this capacity is adequate for families of 2-4 people who eat regularly enough at home). She has a so-called "closed" control panel - located on the "edge" of the door. When the latter is closed, the panel is not visible to the user. In addition to the "third shelf" itself - a pull-out tray for cutlery and varioDrawer small kitchen utensils - it has other advantages.
TimeLight. Everything is pretty simple here. Since the control panel with the display is not visible to the user during the washing process, but access to basic information about the operation of the machine is still desirable, it is provided. Basic information is simply projected onto the kitchen floor. Moreover, this is not just a "ray on the floor", it is its logical continuation - data about the stage of washing, about the selected program, about how much time is left until the end of washing is projected. Moreover (we were convinced of this at the IFA 2012 exhibition in Berlin), the projection is visible on any surface: parquet, laminate, tile, linoleum.
If you need clean dishes quickly - Siemens SR65M081RU has the varioSpeed Plus function for this. Washing, if activated with one of the standard programs, will take about three times less time. This result is achieved by changing the washing algorithm: the number of rinses, the intensity of water supply to the dishes. The hygienePlus function implemented in this PMM is needed for washing children's dishes (food bottles, etc.) and sterilizing canning dishes. If the intensiveZone mode is activated, you can load very heavily soiled dishes into the lower basket - everything will be washed due, again, to a more intensive water supply. At the same time, ordinary dishes with a medium or light degree of soiling can be washed in the upper basket - they will not be damaged and will be thoroughly washed.
There are five washing programs here: "Intensive" (for heavily dirty dishes, water during the main wash is 70 ° C), "Auto" (water - 45-65 ° C, depending on the automatically determined degree of soiling of the dishes), "Eco" (increased cycle time for medium-soiled dishes with less water heating - up to 50 ° C), "Fast" (water - 45 ° C, for lightly soiled and fragile dishes), "Pre-rinse" (without heating, to wash off the main contamination from the dishes which will be washed later). The upper basket can be adjusted in height here (three rack levels, even when fully loaded). For better distribution of water inside the working chamber, a twin rotating DuoPower rocker is installed in the Siemens SR65M081RU. Noise during washing - 45 dB. Washing class - A. Dish drying - condensation (class A). Energy efficiency class - A-10%.Cost - about 24 thousand rubles **.

There is a "Turbo" mode, which is relevant for some programs - to reduce the duration of washing (by changing the washing algorithm, more intensive water supply to the dishes). The upper basket for dishes (in fact, it is average, if you count the pull-out tray for cutlery, which of course is in this model) - can be adjusted in height. The crockery baskets have foldable shelves and holders for crockery items.
The quality of dishwashing here, of course, is high - class A. Drying with warm air supply to the dishes by means of a fan (noise - 44 dB) is also good - class A.

Note that the dishwashers presented in the review, in fact, have no competitors. Not yet, of course. First of all, because the models under consideration have a pull-out cutlery tray. This is the main thing that distinguishes them from other models with similar "dishwashing capabilities". However, this year the situation should change - the appearance of such dishwashers is expected from several other well-known manufacturers of household appliances. Also, it can be noted that there are no obvious flaws in the considered models, with the exception of the high cost. This is due to the fact that the considered models are top-end, both in quality and in price in their market segments.
* - A set of dishes, in accordance with EU regulations, includes: flat plate, deep plate, dessert plate, glass, cup and saucer, knife, fork, tablespoon, dessert spoon and teaspoon. Pots, pans, baking trays, and other kitchen utensils are not included in the "set of dishes".
