7 best 45 cm narrow freestanding dishwashers

For own­ers of small kitchens, nar­row dish­wash­ers are just a god­send. They occu­py a min­i­mum of space, but at the same time they do an excel­lent job with their main func­tion — wash­ing dish­es. Below is a rank­ing of the best 45 cm free­stand­ing dish­wash­ers for 2022 and tips for choos­ing them.

How to choose a narrow dishwasher

Each mod­el is good in its own way and has both plus­es and minus­es. Let’s high­light the main cri­te­ria that you need to con­sid­er when buy­ing a nar­row dish­wash­er:

1. Fam­i­ly size. Small nar­row dish­wash­ers are suit­able for a fam­i­ly of 2–3 peo­ple. If the fam­i­ly is much larg­er or you often gath­er guests at home, choose full-size mod­els with a width of 60 cm.
2. Dish­es spe­cif­ic. A small, nar­row dish­wash­er holds few­er dish­es than full-sized mod­els. Large pots, pans and oth­er uten­sils sim­ply will not fit in it and they will have to be washed in the old fash­ioned way — by hand.
3. Con­sump­tion of water and elec­tric­i­ty. The con­sump­tion of elec­tric­i­ty and water for one cycle of the dish­wash­er depends on this char­ac­ter­is­tic. This infor­ma­tion is indi­cat­ed in the instruc­tions for the mod­el. The most eco­nom­i­cal dish­wash­ers are class A with one or more plus­es. The more of them, the less resources the mod­el spends dur­ing oper­a­tion.
4. Con­ve­nience of bas­kets and the bunker. The abil­i­ty to adjust the height of the bas­ket for dish­es is not a whim, but a neces­si­ty that is dif­fi­cult to do with­out. The option is indis­pens­able when wash­ing dish­es of dif­fer­ent sizes. It will not be super­flu­ous to have hold­ers for glass­es or trays for cut­lery. How­ev­er, these parts can be pur­chased sep­a­rate­ly.
5. Degree of pro­tec­tion. The pres­ence of pro­tec­tion against chil­dren and the “aquastop” func­tion will help to avoid flood­ing the neigh­bors in the event of a dish­wash­er break­down or child­ish pranks.
6. Noise lev­el. The low­er the noise lev­el, the more com­fort­able it is to use the device. The opti­mal indi­ca­tor is con­sid­ered to be in the range from 45 to 52 dB.
7. Built-in fea­ture set. The more pro­grams, the more expen­sive the device. In fact, only a part of them is used, so you should not chase a large set of pro­grams. Their opti­mal num­ber is 5–6. To con­nect to a smart home sys­tem, choose mod­els that sup­port this option.

4. Gorenje GS531E10W

The mod­el of the Sloven­ian brand is in no way infe­ri­or to the emi­nent broth­ers in terms of the qual­i­ty of the sink. Pro­duced in white.

Denis Great machine for its size. Func­tion­al. The qual­i­ty of wash­ing is on par with more expen­sive ana­logues (com­pared with cars from friends). The first day I worked with­out stop­ping — I want­ed to wash all the avail­able dish­es)

Mr Dog Should have tak­en it much soon­er! this sav­ings goes side­ways! now only machine!

5. Electrolux ESF 9452 LOX

In the top 45 cm dish­wash­ers, the mod­el occu­pies one of the first places. And even though it con­sumes a lit­tle more water than the rest, the pres­ence of use­ful fea­tures over­shad­ows every­thing else.

Capac­i­ty — 9 sets. 6 pro­grams and 4 tem­per­a­ture set­tings with wash­ing and dry­ing class A allow you to get per­fect­ly clean dish­es at the end. The con­trol of the mod­el is elec­tron­ic. At the end of work, the door opens auto­mat­i­cal­ly and the dish­es begin to dry. And for those who want to know how much time is left until the end of the work, there is an indi­ca­tor. It is addi­tion­al­ly equipped with hold­ers for glass­es and a bas­ket for cut­lery.

One of the nar­row­est dish­wash­ers. Its width is 45 cm, height — 85, and depth — 60 cm. Like the oth­er mod­el of this brand, cus­tomers like it for its spa­cious­ness, func­tion­al­i­ty and design. 10 sets of dish­es will fit freely in the bas­kets. 5 wash­ing pro­grams and 4 tem­per­a­ture set­tings will allow you to get clean dish­es in a giv­en peri­od of time. The stan­dard wash­ing pro­gram lasts 205 min­utes and con­sumes 10.5 liters of water per cycle.

If you don’t have a lot of dish­es, the machine has a half load. Delayed start allows you to start the dish­wash­ing process 3, 6 or 9 hours after load­ing.

7. Midea MFD45S500S / MFD45S500W

Ergonom­ics and con­cise­ness — that’s what they say about this mod­el. Man­age­ment — elec­tron­ic, motor — invert­er. The num­ber of pro­grams for this mod­el is 8, tem­per­a­ture modes — 5. Full pro­tec­tion against leaks elim­i­nates the pos­si­bil­i­ty of a flood if the device breaks down, and child pro­tec­tion pre­vents acci­den­tal press­ing of oth­er but­tons dur­ing the oper­a­tion of the machine.

The mod­el is com­pat­i­ble with the Yan­dex smart home sys­tem and is equipped with a delay timer. She has an ener­gy class of A ++, wash­ing and dry­ing — A. This mod­el is the qui­etest in the rat­ing, the noise lev­el is 44 dB.

Advan­tages:

• many pro­grams to choose from;
• qui­et oper­a­tion;
• excel­lent wash.

Flaws:
