When choosing appliances for the kitchen, the user should pay attention not only to the functions and programs, but also to the configuration of the camera. It depends on this whether it will be convenient to place the dishes. The dishwasher basket must contain as many appliances as you need to wash at a time, otherwise you will have to restart the washing cycle. Consider what goes into the dishwasher.
Types and features of baskets for appliances
Standard equipment for any brand dishwasher (Beko, Whirlpool, Siemens, Hansa) includes:
- Retractable casters on casters for placing tableware. These are the lower baskets in which you can put large objects (pots, pans, baking sheets).
- Special trays for glasses, mugs, glasses.
- Compartments for plates (cassettes).
It turns out that the standard Ariston, Electrolux, Bosch equipment is equipped with two compartments (for plates and cups), additional trays for cups and glasses.
What functions do the boxes perform:
- The upper basket, in addition to placing mugs, protects fragile products from damage - it has locks. It can be adjusted in height and fixed with special holders. Removable items inside allow you to wash large items.
- Bottom basket. Plates, dishes, bowls are placed in it. In some machines, the elements for the appliances are folding, so you can put pans. Castors, wheels for the basket facilitate the loading of dirty dishes, since it is possible to extend and push the box.
The Vario Flex Plus system in Bosch dishwashers allows you to find a place for any dishes. Three shelves recline in both the upper and lower compartments - you can rationally place the devices.
What to look for when choosing:
- Material. It must be durable, wear-resistant, heat-resistant.
- If it is plastic, then it is durable and environmentally friendly.
- Compartments should be equipped with holders for delicate items.
- Availability of clips for easy loading.
- The ability to adjust the trays and change the space in the camera.
PMM models are now available that come with three cutlery baskets. Even more space and options for installing appliances. Let's consider separately each manufacturer and how they approached the organization of the camera’s internal space.
