Rating: 4.7

The third line of the rating goes to the ultra-compact dishwasher Midea MCFD42900 OR MINI with a width of 42 centimeters. It is designed for only two sets of dishes and therefore it can be easily recognized as the most impractical. But in terms of the quality of washing, no one can compare with it: at a consumption of 6.5 liters and a cycle of 160 minutes long, it removes absolutely all types of dirt. In general, she doesn't really need those additional 5 modes of operation.

For the first time in the rating, a dishwasher uses not a condensation, but a turbo dryer with a supply of dry heated air. It has a 1-24 hour delay timer and interior lighting. Unfortunately, nothing is said about leakage protection, which means only its absence. But this practically does not affect the reliability – the dishwasher can serve up to 8 years without a single breakdown.

Rating: 4.9

The moment when several German brands are fighting for leadership in the ranking. The Weissgauff BDW 4106 D, like the MAUNFELD MLP-06IM, is completely built-in and is 55 centimeters in size. It has implemented 6 work programs, which consume about 9.5 liters of water. Consumption increased by about 30% compared to the main competitor, and this could be a decisive factor in choosing a leader, but …

There are 6 standard programs, including express wash and intensive wash, as well as a delicate wash for crystal products and an economy wash for lightly soiled tableware.

Now about the important differences. The MAUNFELD MLP-06IM has a 24-hour delay start timer, an audible notification of the start and end of the work cycle, as well as partial leakage protection. The latter function is extremely useful, because in case of a breakdown into emergency mode (which happens here only when the light is turned off) at the time of draining, water is often squeezed out of the system.
