You rarely hear about such a technique as the Hephaestus dishwasher. We are used to the fact that excellent gas stoves are produced under this brand. But dishwashers from this manufacturer are extremely rare. There is nothing to be surprised here - there are only two models in the product range. Therefore, nothing is heard about them. What characterizes dishwashers from Hephaestus?
- High build quality is not a manufacturer that will be able to tarnish its reputation;
- Minimum noise level - kitchen appliances from a serious brand should work quietly;
- Profitability - dishwashers from the Hephaestus company consume a minimum amount of water and electricity.
Hephaestus is chosen by many people who need reliable and inexpensive household appliances. What do users say in whose homes dishwashers from this brand have already appeared? Our review of user reviews will tell about this.
Gefest 60301
Tatyana, 34 years old
I am a mother of two children, so I don’t have much free time - I need to cook food, collect one child for school and the other for kindergarten, have time to go to work and wash the dishes in the evening. Therefore, one day I wanted to shift some of my responsibilities to smart home appliances. We already had a Gefest stove, so I decided not to change my preferences, although I was tempted to take Whirlpool dishwasher. I tried to look for reviews about the Hephaestus 60301 dishwasher, but there were few of them. However, we still bought it.Let our electricity consumption increase, but I had free evenings - we had dinner, threw all the daily dishes into the machine chamber and went to watch TV. The quality of the sink is more than decent, there were no breakdowns in six months of service.
- Protection from children is implemented - my guys are the most curious creatures in the world, so for me the presence of this function is extremely important so that they do not poke their nose during the wash cycle;
- Large capacity - 12 sets are placed in the working chamber, believe me, this is a huge amount of dishes. And the width of 60 cm provides a more convenient bookmark;
- All types of programs - including the delicate washing mode.
- There is no half load - sometimes you need to wash a small number of dishes, and the machine spends a standard amount of resources on this;
- Strange drying job, sometimes I notice water droplets on kitchen utensils. Wiping them with a towel is not a problem, but still something is not right with this functionality.

Elizabeth, 42 years old
I really wanted to buy a dishwasher, but I could not decide on a company. As a result, she settled on Hephaestus. The manufacturer is very solid, the equipment was not the most expensive. There are practically no reviews on the Internet about the Gefest 45301 built-in dishwasher, but the store told me that there were no returns yet. Maybe the seller lied, but the machine turned out to be good. It washes to a shine, plus there is a delicate program, I tried to wash crystal on it, everything remained safe and sound.The dishwasher works silently, a little noise is heard only when the pump is running.
- After the end of the cycle, it beeps, and is not silent. This is convenient, since you do not need to constantly check at what stage the dishwasher is;
- Specialists from Hephaestus made a very economical apparatus, the cost of water decreased somewhat after its acquisition;
- Convenient management. Most of all, I was afraid that it would be intricate, like in my washing machine.
- 3 months after the purchase, the drain pump failed, it was replaced under warranty. But the master said it was rare;
- It is not very convenient to lay cups / spoons, since the working volume is too narrow;
- Sometimes white stains remain on porcelain, glass and metal. Perhaps you need to change the powder or is it the consequences of poor rinsing?

I was opposed to buying a dishwasher, but after a few days I realized that we made a bargain. It saves time that can be better spent on something more interesting. Hephaestus is good at making gas stoves, and he is also good at making kitchen appliances. Model 60301 is a full-fledged washing unit, and not a narrow defect in which it is extremely inconvenient to lay dishes. It has everything you need - full protection against leaks, a small display, a delay timer and many programs. If something gets very dirty, you can start the pre-soak mode. You can use powder, or you can put tablets - they are more convenient, because the powder is easy to spill.
- I was pleased with the presence of a timer, so we start washing at night, when electricity is cheaper;
- The dishwasher from the Hephaestus trademark is endowed with Aquastop. He will not allow to spoil the floors and flood your neighbors;
- Convenient baskets for laying kitchen utensils, I also note the convenience of the bookmark itself - this is typical for all full-size dishwashers.
- A couple of times hung up, did not respond to the controls. Saved by a short power outage;
- There is an economical program, but you can’t set a half load;
- With embedding, I had to suffer.

I never thought I would have a dishwasher. But we bought a new kitchen set, which had a dishwasher compartment. We read reviews about Hephaestus dishwashers and ordered model 45301 in one online store. As it turned out, this is a very convenient device, since the problems with washing cups and plates no longer exist. We save dishes for two days, then we start washing. Nothing needs to be done - just put a tablet with detergent and select a program. After a couple of hours it all shines and even creaks. Women, if you still wash your hands, then I sympathize with you. Feel free to buy a dishwasher from Hephaestus and enjoy a quiet life.
- Convenient delay timer, minimum time from one hour;
- There is a pre-soak for the dirtiest dishes or pans;
- Convenient loading trays.
- It is embarrassing that, when accumulated, the dishes lie in the working chamber, and the very next day an unpleasant smell appears in it. However, this is not a drawback of the dishwasher;
- Where do you put the half load? I don't think it's a difficult function to organize;
- The sound signal broke, the masters were called;
- There is no Aquastop, if the hose leaks, water will flood the neighbors.

Ivan, 28 years old
I gave my wife a dishwasher for her 25th birthday, she is happy as an elephant after a bath. More free time in the evenings, less time spent in the kitchen, in general, a miracle, not a technique. I have never seen creaking cymbals, but here it turned out to be a reality. True, you need to use a good detergent, otherwise there will be problems with laundering. I can’t praise the reliability - at first the rocker broke, then the machine stopped showing signs of life, the master went to us for 2 days before he did it - Hephaestus should have paid more attention to the reliability of his equipment.
- Excellent built-in dishwasher, I managed to cope with the installation in just 3 hours;
- Giant spaciousness, sometimes we don’t even know what else to put in it - there is free space. And at times like this, the half-load feature is missing;
- Saves water. I don't know how, but she launders a whole mountain of kitchen utensils with 14 liters - that's a little more than a bucket;
- No noise - my classmate has a dishwasher (not Hephaestus), he rumbles like a concrete mixer.
- At one fine moment, it broke down, it is very far from us to the nearest service, and there was no master in the city who would undertake the repair of the device (mostly they complained about the lack of spare parts);
- Long wash, almost 2.5 hours on a standard program, and this is even without pre-soaking;
- Noisy pump, like in washing machines. It's good that it doesn't make any noise while washing.

Not the best choice for the average buyer.For the same money you can take Bosch built-in dishwasher and forget about dirty dishes. And the worst thing is that Hephaestus captivates with the fame of his stoves, because of this, the rest of the equipment seems no less reliable. But in fact, everything is completely different - my dishwasher began to crumble literally from the very first day. When you first turned it on, some glitches began with the control module, then the pump failed, then it began to flow. Another breakdown - and we will talk with the store about the return, it is impossible to use the device. I never experienced any joy from buying a dishwasher from Hephaestus.
- A large set of programs for all occasions, plus there is a pre-soak;
- There is a sound indication of the end of the cycle, and that's where all the positive qualities end.
- Absolutely raw equipment, this should not be allowed for sale - everything is pouring in a row;
- There is no Aquastop, although version 60301 has it.
