Dishwasher IKEA MEDELSTOR
Alina, 26 years old
Before buying household appliances for a renovated kitchen, I read for a long time dishwasher reviews, Bosch, Ikea, etc. I settled on an Ikea machine. I liked the chosen model for its compactness and thoughtful execution. The set of functions includes all the necessary options, for example, a quick mode and an indication of the presence of salt.The kit comes with a clear instruction - it tells not only about the control of the device, but also about its installation in a regular place. Washes the dishwasher remarkably, even with inexpensive detergents.
- IKEA appliances have an extremely low noise level. In our apartment there is no door to the kitchen, but the noise from the dishwasher is almost inaudible - it will not interfere even with the most sensitive person;
- High efficiency, about 9.5 liters of water and 0.8 kW of electricity are consumed per cycle;
- Good capacity, which is 9 sets of dishes. The wash cabinet holds more than 30 dishes, plus there is room for cups and cutlery.
- Do not even hope that you will be able to load the maximum amount of dishes into it the first time - this skill comes with experience. And I didn’t really like the stacking of glasses;
- If you allow the plates to dry out, there will be problems with washing - you must first remove all large and drying dirt;
- For successful washing, expensive detergent is needed. Cheap IKEA dishwasher detergents are not suitable.
Dishwasher IKEA LAGAN
Kirill, 29 years old
For a long time I was looking for normal reviews about the IKEA LAGAN dishwasher, but there were practically none - some nonsense was published on most sites. But the model seduced me with its price and capabilities. This is an inexpensive full-size dishwasher with convenient baskets for dishes. If you love IKEA stuff, then you will love this dishwasher. I noticed that with the purchase of the device, our water costs have decreased. A decent amount of dishes is placed inside, for a family of four it is enough for the eyes.Confused only by the duration of some programs - they last more than three hours.
- An excellent dishwasher from the famous IKEA brand, with the most affordable price on the Russian market. In this case, you get not a narrow model, but a full-size one;
- Shows excellent results when using the cheapest means - I buy tablets, the cost of which is only 10-12 rubles. for a little thing. Even with them, the machine washes with a bang;
- High temperature during intensive washing - it not only washes away stubborn dirt, but also kills many bacteria that do not survive in such an environment.
- When the drain pump broke down at the IKEA LAGAN dishwasher, we could hardly find the nearest service center where we could repair it (the nearest IKEA store is very far away);
- Not the most successful baskets for laying dishes, there are also more convenient ones - my parents have a dishwasher from Bosch, and so everything is very, very convenient there;
- For some reason, it is for this particular model that the warranty is only two years, and not 5 years, as for other dishwashers - what is this strange hint from IKEA?
Dishwasher IKEA ELPSAM
Renat, 40 years old
I was seduced by the low price and good quality of other products from IKEA. As a result, it turned out that this manufacturer does not know how to make dishwashers. They are flimsy and unreliable, often break. My engine broke down, then the control hung, one rocker broke off. The warranty period is as much as 5 years, but I do not see the point in this. Also, it is not the most economical - in the same Yandex.Market there are also more economical models. But there is an additional rinse program, it allows you to count on a better wash.My conclusion is this - do not be fooled by cheapness, buy normal household appliances.
- Good washing quality - it washes well, eliminating the need to pore over the sink with a soapy sponge. Great thing for families of 3-4 people;
- Complete protection against leaks is implemented, turning off the water supply when leaks are detected. In such cheap devices, judging by the descriptions, the Aquastop module is almost never found;
- The noise level is not the highest, but not the lowest either. It makes the most noise when the drain starts to work - a loud pump is installed here.
- Not the most accurate assembly, there are asymmetrical slots in the case. Also not happy with a large number of breakdowns - it is easier to throw it away than to constantly carry it to the service;
- In order to place a large number of kitchen utensils in the washing chamber, you will have to work hard. It is difficult to place large items, such as pots and pans - they are generally easier and faster to wash with your hands;
- Drying in the IKEA ELPSAM dishwasher is not the most perfect - sometimes it seems that it simply does not exist here.
Dishwasher IKEA SKINANDE
Elvira, 28 years old
A full-size IKEA dishwasher appeared in our house after another trip to the store of the same name, in which we appear quite often. It is characterized by good functionality and a variety of working programs, it can wash even the strongest dirt, it is fully integrated into the kitchen set. The set of programs includes both regular and intensive modes. Separately, I would like to note the presence of an automatic program that independently adapts to pollution and selects the washing temperature.Most often, I wash dishes in this mode, completely relying on an IKEA dishwasher. I also want to note the presence of complete protection against emergency leaks, she already helped out once by shutting off the water in case of an unexpected rupture of the hose - we have extremely grumpy neighbors who would make a real scandal about flooding.
- Everything that I load into the IKEA dishwasher comes out clean - plates, cups, spoons, forks and other kitchen utensils are washed;
- Only 9.9 liters of water are spent per cycle, as well as 0.932 kW of electricity. In general, utility costs have decreased slightly since buying a dishwasher;
- Instead of a whole mountain of chemicals, and this is rinse aid, salt and detergent, you can use All-in-One tablets in the device - they are very convenient;
- The IKEA SKINANDE dishwasher fits perfectly into the kitchen furniture, it is completely invisible if you do not know about its presence.
- Without additional rinsing, stains remain on kitchen utensils from chemicals that are not completely washed off.However, after I changed the pills, the stains still disappeared;
- Not all dishes can be washed in dishwashers - I don’t know why this is connected, but some items have to be scrubbed by hand.
Dishwasher IKEA VELGORD
Anatoly, 41 years old
At the time of buying dishwasher for home it was decided not to save - I know what rash savings usually lead to, as a result of which not equipment, but high-tech garbage appears in the house. Therefore, we took the most expensive model from IKEA. Washes dishes perfectly, both with tablets and liquid detergents.The kit already comes with a convenient fastener for mounting the device. I read the instructions a little, looked into the compartment under the dishwasher and coped with the technique without the help of a master. I was pleased with the presence of an automatic program, as well as a mode for washing “delicate” dishes - in the latter mode, we wash wine glasses and expensive porcelain.
- This is a full-size model, so the presence of a wide working chamber allows you to count on convenient loading. This is helped by adjustable baskets;
- The IKEA VELGORD dishwasher is endowed with a self-cleaning function - the menu provides for the activation of a special hygiene program;
- Very convenient and intuitive control - I would figure it out without instructions.
- A year later, she began to make a noticeably louder noise, the IKEA service said that this was quite acceptable;
- Sometimes there are barely noticeable traces of dirt on the dishes. I had to replace the tablets with more expensive ones - the traces became many times smaller, but the operating costs increased.
Comments
We bought a Skinande dishwasher in Ikea-Parnas St. Petersburg. When they built it into the kitchen, it turned out that instead of 5 modes, 1 works. They refuse to change to a new one, offering only repairs. ! I don't recommend anyone to buy from Ikea!
