Some people cannot imagine their life without a dishwasher. Others believe that it is a waste of money and effort to install it. If you haven't decided yet and are considering a purchase, these tips from YokoSun are just for you. We tell you what the advantages of a dishwasher are, what nuances you need to know in advance and what means will increase its efficiency.
5 reasons to buy a dishwasher
1. You won't have to stand at the sink for a long time
Have you ever thought about how much time we spend washing dishes? Scientists from the University of Cambridge also asked this question and came to a disappointing conclusion: on average, a person spends about 52 hours a year doing this activity.
Some may think that the figure is not so impressive. But, you see, this time can be spent on something more pleasant or useful. This is the main advantage of a dishwasher - it saves us time.
You won’t be able to completely eliminate washing dishes from your routine – and with this technique you will have to spend time cleaning the table. For example, putting dishes in the machine, taking them out, etc. But still, the waste of time is reduced significantly.
2. Dishwasher saves energy
Another obvious advantage is that using a dishwasher does not require a lot of action from you. For those who have problems with the musculoskeletal system, this technique is a complete salvation - you don’t even have to stand at the sink for 20 minutes. You need to load the dishes and place one tablet in the compartment provided for it in your dishwasher.
When using effective products, machines cope well with heavy pollution. There is no need to soak the same baking sheet, then return to it again and rub it with a sponge for a long time.
3. You spend several times less water
Saving water is a good habit not only for saving your budget, but also for the environment in general. We won’t talk about why the planet is harmed by the uncontrolled use of clean water, you probably know about this. Let's talk about how you can save it in everyday life without really changing your habits.
On average, when washing 10 sets of dishes, we spend about 30 liters of water. With a dishwasher, things are a little different: the same amount of dishes takes from 10 to 15 liters. In general, there are many different studies using different models of technology. The numbers also differ: some researchers have come to the conclusion that when washing dishes by hand, about 100 liters of water are wasted, while when using a dishwasher - only 10. One way or another, the fact remains: the machine saves water many times over. The thing is that during the washing process the machine filters and uses water several times.
4. Better copes with dirt and disinfects
The dishwasher really cleans better. Cleaning glasses until they shine manually will be quite problematic, while a dishwasher shows a noticeable effect after the first use.
The secret is in the temperature of the water in which the dishes are processed. So, a comfortable temperature for the skin of the hands is about 40 degrees Celsius. Modern machines heat water up to 90 degrees, and sometimes even higher.
At high temperatures, some viruses and bacteria die. Thanks to this, in homes with small children, such a device will be a serious assistant - you can forget about sterilizing bottles.
True, to prevent the dishwasher itself from becoming a source of bacteria, it must be looked after.
5. Air quality will improve
The most unobvious advantage is that using a dishwasher will affect the air quality and reduce the risk of mold in the house. During the process of hand washing dishes, moisture evaporates and spreads throughout the room. And high humidity is fraught with mold, fungi and becomes a comfortable environment for some insects - for example, house dust mites.
What you need to know when buying a dishwasher
1. Initial expenses
Despite the many obvious advantages of a dishwasher, we must admit that this is a solid purchase. Today on the market the price of some models starts from 17 thousand rubles and reaches 150 thousand, depending on the manufacturer and configuration. Don't forget about the costs of delivery and installation of such equipment.
2. Electricity costs
When saving on water, energy costs after installing a dishwasher may increase, but only slightly. Firstly, the process of heating water, which occurs literally in the first minutes after turning on the machine, is considered the most “energy-consuming” process. Secondly, you can use it at night, when there is a reduced electricity tariff.
A lot depends on the specific model. Some machines use as much energy as a regular toaster, others much more. Therefore, when choosing a dishwasher, you should pay attention to the energy consumption class. The most economical cars are considered to be class A+, A++ and A+++.
3. Not suitable for all apartments
The dimensions of such devices may not fit into every apartment. On average, dishwashers are made at a rate of about 80 centimeters in length, 60 centimeters in width and depth. Naturally, there are also more compact models. To save space, built-in dishwashers can be suitable - they are installed in a kitchen unit.
4. Hard water can be a problem
The hardness of water is determined by the content of calcium and magnesium in it. And minerals contribute to the formation of scale, which will eventually appear on the dishes. The machine itself reduces operating efficiency and rust appears. If the water in the house is too hard, the machine will last no more than two years.
5. Too dirty dishes sometimes have to be washed several times
Again, over time, a dishwasher can lose efficiency. Then you will have to soak or rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Some materials should not be thrown into the dishwasher at all: for example, baking sheets made of non-heat-resistant materials. And especially dirty dishes sometimes have to be washed two or even three times.
The last two problems arise if you do not take care of your dishwasher. Yes, she requires care. True, everything is not as complicated as it might seem. In fact, these problems can be solved by using suitable products, sometimes just one product is enough.
