How to choose a Diva Cucine dishwasher

Choosing the right dishwasher requires an understanding of your needs. An all-inclusive insight into the space, consumption and capacity, is essential in getting the insight and clarity of installing a new appliance that will become part of your daily chores in the kitchen. Diva Cucine  wants only the best for you: they aim for a simple and intelligent appliance that can be a true ally against the stress of everyday life.

A fully integrated dishwasher can be housed inside a kitchen base unit or a tall unit or they can be fully hidden away or with controls on display, which is sometimes a more practical option. Remember that this appliance uses a lot of water to really work and clean deep. When looking for a dishwasher, consider water consumption and noise, especially if it is installed in an open plan kitchen semi-attached to the lounge area.

If you have solar panels, remember to choose a dishwasher that also offers the option of being connected to hot water. The capacity usually ranges from 12 to 15 place settings, without needing to change the external dimensions of the machine. The introduction of a third rack on mid-price brands and models too makes it possible to purchase machines with high capacity, at a reasonable cost. The third rack is in fact used for cutlery, cups and kitchen utensils, leaving the lower rack free for pans and dishes. This leads to space optimisation when loading the dishwasher. Some machines also actually have a larger rack made possible by a new design of the circuits that allows the bottom of the washer to be lowered, and thanks to doors with a recessed back. If you are often away from home, one indispensable function is the delayed start, which is useful when operating the machine during low electricity rates. If you wash frequently with dishes that are not very dirty, check that the there is a daily quick programme available.

Taking into account all of the above, all that really matters is that it washes thoroughly. If you want excellent results and no pre-washing, opt for an “intelligent” dishwasher : load the dishwasher, select the automatic programme and the machines decides what programme to use, the time, the temperature and the power of the water jets, depending on how dirty the dishes are. The machine could decide on its own whether the water temperature needs increasing or whether a further rinse is necessary: the pinnacle of simplicity.
