Faber 14 Place Settings Dishwasher
Since it was compatible with most dishwasher kits, I loaded it with utensils, including a cooker. The height-adjustable upper rack and foldable racks made it easy to store different-sized items. However, Indian thalis did not fit in the bottom thali unit.
With 6 washing programmes, I chose automatic cleansing, which reduced manual effort. The dishwasher used 10-17 litres of water and 250 kWh per programme. Impressively, it operated at less than 60 dB.
My dishes were clean after three hours. To avoid filter clogging, I removed any leftovers before loading the vessels.
Dishwasher detergent was expensive and dishwashing took time. Eco cycles took nearly 4 hours, while other usable cycles lasted 1.5 hours.
The dishwasher could only clean aluminium, wood, copper, and brass. The machine required soft water (300-500 TDS), so hard water areas needed a filter.
Voltas Beko 14 Place Setting Dishwasher
I was excited to test the appliance’s five washing programmes, including an intensive mode, on my kitchenware.
The dishes were spotless after using the Mini programme (30 minutes at 35 degrees Celsius). The intensive mode removed baked-on residues and stains well.
The upper tray fits large bowls and plates despite not being adjustable. Due to the need for a cutlery tray, fitting spoons and serving spatulas during full loads was difficult.
I liked that 30cm plates fit in the bottom tray. After their cycles, all the utensils were impressively dry. Clean, dry, and ready-to-use utensils eliminated further action.
My plug wire was short. I installed an electric board, but a 16-amp extension would have worked. Some users may find the dishwasher’s 210-minute cleaning time too long.
Hard water users should avoid this dishwasher. It’s incompatible with aluminium utensils and bakelite-handled cookers and may need help cleaning hard stains on kadais or cookers. Finally, the dishwasher works well without LED, Wi-Fi, or other fancy displays.
