A small kitchen does not allow you to install a sufficient number of necessary household appliances. And the problem can be solved in different ways. One of them is to move some of the devices to other rooms, for example, put a refrigerator in the hallway. But even better is to use small models, such as a small dishwasher under the sink. Moreover, there is usually enough space left under the kitchen sink, which, at best, is used for storing household chemicals or a trash can.
Features of mini dishwashers
A mini dishwasher usually holds 6-8 sets of dishes. A household appliance of this size is suitable for a family of 1-2 people. The device will not take up much space, but will become an indispensable assistant in the kitchen.
Small dishwashers are often built under the sink. The dimensions of such devices usually vary depending on different models.
The standard parameters look like this:
- width - 45-55 cm;
- height - 45-60 cm;
- depth - 50 cm.
It is also worth considering that many built-in dishwashers have large protruding buttons on the control panel of approximately 1.5 cm, the dimensions of which are not indicated in the technical documentation.

Can a dishwasher be installed under a sink?
A dishwasher installed under the sink is not a built-in appliance in the generally known sense. In fact, this is the same free-standing dishwasher, the dimensions of which allow it to be placed under the siphon.
When installing, it is worth considering that a small dishwasher can be installed under the sink only if in a floor-mounted kitchen cabinet with a standard height of 80 cm, the space occupied by the sink and siphon does not exceed a height of 35 cm.
The device must also be narrow enough to fit into the closet - about 45 cm wide.
The clear advantages of this location are the space saving and the proximity of all communications - water supply and sewerage.
Weissgauff TDW 4006
Third place in the top is a model that can be classified as premium. Although you can buy it for only 16,000 rubles. Among the differences of the equipment are not only compact dimensions and weight, but also complete protection against leakage, water consumption per wash is only 6.5 liters and 6 operating modes, including express cleaning and removal of heavy contaminants.
The device spends about 3 hours washing dishes, allowing you to clean up to 6 sets. The list of functions includes the ability to reload dishes after starting work and a special holder for glasses. The only downside is the smell of plastic at the very beginning of use.
Advantages and disadvantages
A compact dishwasher has a number of advantages that distinguish it from larger models:
- possibility of placement under the sink or on a kitchen cabinet - thanks to the small size of the mini dishwasher, it can be placed as conveniently as possible even in the smallest kitchen;
- economical consumption of water and electricity - the device consumes significantly less water than when washing dishes in the sink, and small-sized models consume a small amount of electricity;
- availability of protection against leaks;
- ease of installation and operation.
In addition to their advantages, mini dishwashers have some disadvantages:
- low capacity compared to standard size models
- inability to wash large pots and pans;

How to choose and what to pay attention to?
When choosing a small under-sink dishwasher, you should pay attention to several important factors:
- capacity;
- water and electricity consumption;
- noise level;
- washing and drying class;
- availability of protection against leaks;
- availability of protection from child interference.
Small built-in dishwashers are usually designed for 6-8 sets of dirty dishes. This capacity is suitable for a family of 1-2 people, as well as for washing children's dishes. However, large dishes such as pots and pans cannot be washed in a mini dishwasher.
Small household appliances consume significantly less resources. Water consumption for one full washing cycle of a mini dishwasher does not exceed 8 liters, and energy consumption is no more than 0.65 kWh.
The washing and drying class of the dishwasher determines how well it will clean dishes from various contaminants. The best class is considered to be the one designated by the letter A. This classification belongs to most models from well-known manufacturers.
Most modern models of dishwashers, including mini dishwashers, are equipped with full or partial protection against leaks, as well as child protection, which makes using the household appliance safer.
Candy CDCP 6/E
This under-sink dishwasher has the smallest dimensions of any freestanding model. It is also affordable - you can buy it for only 14,000 rubles. The device has good performance and functionality. The list of modes includes 6 programs that allow you to choose the method for washing dishes that is most suitable for the degree of soiling. There is overflow and child protection, as well as a delay timer for a period of 2 to 8 hours.
The maximum capacity of the dishwasher is 6 place settings. Water consumption per cycle, which can last up to 195 minutes, is only 7 liters. The height of the dishwasher is 43.8 cm, width is 55 cm. And what helped it get into the list of the best models was not only its low price and good characteristics, but also the ability to use different detergents and independently choose the appropriate washing temperature.
Review of popular and popular models of dishwashers with the ability to be installed under the sink
The modern household appliances market offers a wide range of compact dishwashing machines. Quite conditionally, we can single out several models that are in high demand among buyers.
Compact dishwasher Candy CDCF 6/E
Almost the smallest, economical (class A+) and budget (on average about 13,000 rubles) mini dishwasher, capable of easily handling 6 sets of tableware, spending about 7 liters of water. In addition to running a standard set of programs, the device can delicately wash fragile glass or crystal items, as well as economically wash lightly soiled dishes using 5 temperature settings. The device with electromechanical control makes it possible to delay the start from 1 to 8 hours, and is equipped with indicators showing the presence of detergents in its compartments. Can use 3-in-1 tablets, dries by condensation. The great advantage of the model is that it is equipped with complete protection against any accidental leaks and an audible signal is emitted at the end of the program. The disadvantages include rather noisy operation (53 dB), the absence of a water hardness control sensor and a lock that can prevent the younger generation from interfering with the work process.
Dishwasher Candy CDCF 6/E has full protection against leaks
Customer reviews about Candy CDCF 6/E
Let me start by saying that the Candy CDCF 6/E machine is not bad! But if it is possible to install a narrow built-in one, then it is better to choose it! I didn’t have the opportunity to disassemble the kitchen to build in a built-in, so I had to take a compact one. Among the disadvantages: -it’s noisy, but I’m already used to it) the container with the tablet opens very loudly, we flinched at first)) -it’s really small! if there are dirty pots and pans, you have to run them twice, but this is better than washing them yourself) But sometimes it seems that it would be faster to wash them by hand than to find the optimal combination of all the dishes inside)

I would like to dedicate a review to such a wonderful thing as the Candy CDCF 6/E dishwasher! It took me a very long time to choose such a girlfriend for myself (both in terms of price and size). The one who says the dishwasher is very small... It seems to me that they simply follow the instructions 100% of the time. And they weren’t used to it. The most important thing is to properly arrange the dishes in the dishwasher. So that the dishes “look” bottom down :) and everything will be washed perfectly, even if you reload it. Salt, tablets and rinse aid came to the machine itself. But it seemed to me not economical to wash with tablets. I use powder or gel. The salt was placed in a special compartment with 2/3 of water (for the very first time of launch). (3 cups of water) There is no need to add any further water to the salt compartment! To save space in the machine, I remove the cutlery basket and simply hang them on the mesh where the mugs should essentially be))… This does not affect the sink in any way.

Compact dishwasher Bosch SKS 62E22
A compact device belonging to the high price segment (about 36,000 rubles), from a well-known German manufacturer, equipped with a display and electronic control. It provides for loading 6 dish sets and consumes 8 liters of water per cycle. The machine uses 5 heating modes and a standard program set, supplemented by gentle washing and soaking (rinsing). It works very quietly (48 dB), with any detergents, the presence of which is determined independently using special sensors. Equipped with a delay timer and one-stage overfill protection (body only) . Drying is carried out by simple evaporation and there is no child lock on the door.
The Bosch SKS 62E22 machine can be available in white and silver colors
Customer reviews about Bosch SKS 62E22
I chose Bosch SKS 62E22 because... they are known for their quality specifically in terms of home appliances and after reading 10,500 reviews. We chose the compact one because... There are only two of us at the moment and the apartment is rented, so we didn’t want to install anything permanently - we are planning to move in a year and a half. By the way, this is one of the few compact dishwashers that can accommodate large plates, such as those from Ikea - 27-28 centimeters in diameter. They do not fit into compact Electrolux dishwashers. It’s enough for us to turn it on exactly once a day - usually in the evening after dinner we turn it on and before going to bed we unload and put everything in the cabinets. That's all!

https://irecommend.ru/content/otlichnaya-posudomoika-1
I bought a Bosch SKS 62E22 around 2008 at a price of 13–15,000 rubles. I made a special niche in the wall so that everything would be like in the best houses with the pretense of “here’s what I have!” I really wanted to make my wife’s work easier in the kitchen. The wife was also pleased. Then... Now he also says that the thing is necessary. We just use it twice a year. Before putting the dishes away, the wife still rinses them first under running water. It turns out that we only need it to disinfect dishes under hot water with a cleaning tablet. Like this. I find it easier and faster to use a sponge with mouthwash or baking soda. And the machine requires water and tablets and electricity and about half an hour. I regret that I took it. So-so invention of “not sewing a sleeve” or that sneakers with heels.

Mini dishwasher Midea MCFD-55320W is equipped with a very convenient display
Customer reviews about Midea MCFD-55320W
We are extremely pleased with the Midea MCFD-55320W dishwasher. They forgot about washing dishes in the classical sense; now there are no problems with endless mountains of dirty dishes. Also, compared to more well-known and more expensive brands of dishwashers, it consumes less water per program, which is also a significant bonus for those who have a water meter.

If there is a timer on the Midea MCFD-55320W display, it does not show what the machine is doing now - washing, drying or rinsing. We can only guess. Not critical at all. I read in reviews of other PMMs that it would be better to show the time until the end than to indicate the status at a specific stage. Although not all kmpp can do this. The basket for dishes is a little inconvenient, but it is the same in all models of this brand. One to one.

Compact dishwasher Hotpoint-Ariston HCD662S
The average price of this small dishwasher with electromechanical control and built-in display ranges from 24,000 rubles. The model can accommodate 6 cutlery sets and consume no more than 7 liters of water. Energy consumption is low (class A), 6 programs set by the manufacturer (half load available) and normal drying by evaporating moisture from warm dishes (air conditioning). There is a timer (up to 24 hours of delay) and indicators that determine the presence of detergents in the compartments, as well as the ability to place “3 in 1” tablets into the device. In case of accidental depressurization or overflow, the machine will automatically turn off the water supply, thanks to the WaterStop system . Families with small children should take into account the absence of a general lock in the device.
Customer reviews about Hotpoint-Ariston HCD662S
What can I say after six months of use. The Hotpoint-Ariston HCD662S machine is truly economical in terms of consumption of both electricity and water, as well as detergents. I mainly use program 5 (for 1 hour, consumption 1 kW per cycle). Very quiet, can be started at night. It washes well, but dries worse than ever, or rather, doesn’t dry at all. In principle, it is not critical. If immediately after finishing work, you open the machine and pull out the basket, the dishes will dry quickly due to the fact that the dishes are warm. If you missed it, it will take a long time to dry. There is an electronic display that shows the time until the end of work. After the cycle is completed, the usual “END” is not written on the display, but the counter is reset to zero. That is, you set it for 1 hour, time goes down; The cycle is over, the display shows 1:00, I don’t know, maybe I’m the only one with this problem. Despite its compact size, the dishwasher is quite spacious. Of course, you can’t fit a large pan or baking sheet into it. But it is quite possible to provide clean dishes for a family of 4 people.

The only thing I don’t like about the Hotpoint-Ariston HCD662S machine, as well as in others, is the terrible sound signal for the end of work. 8 very loud beeps indicate that she has finished washing the dishes! If you have a machine in the kitchen, behind a closed door, you may not be able to hear them. And I still don’t know how to turn them off!

Compact dishwasher Korting KDF2050W
Relatively inexpensive (price around 18,000 rubles) and economical (A+ class) mini-dishwasher with an open touch panel and electronic control. Capable of placing 6 standard sets of dishes inside, spending only 6–6.5 liters of water on them. The set of 7 regular programs includes, among other things, a self-cleaning mode. A convenient option is a sound notification about the end of the washing cycle. The device allows you to use tablets and any other detergents, the presence of which is indicated by indicators in the cuvettes. Delay of start up to 12 hours is allowed. The device is equipped with a water transparency sensor. Drying is simple and economical, when moisture simply settles (condenses) on the walls of the case. A distinctive feature of this model is complete protection against any leaks. The AquaStop device automatically monitors the water level in the machine and activates blocking the water supply in a critical situation (leakage or overflow). The manufacturer does not provide protection against child interference.
The small Korting KDF2050W dishwasher is equipped with seven working programs
Customer reviews about Korting KDF2050W
We were given a Korting KDF2050W dishwasher as a gift. A dishwasher is suitable for those who have little space in their forge. Its capacity is small, designed for 6 sets of dishes. Large plates, pots and pans do not fit. The machine can accommodate small dishes. Well, or 1 large saucepan and 1 large frying pan. But the main thing is that it washes)) The lid of the detergent compartment often gets stuck, and the tablets periodically do not dissolve.

https://otzovik.com/review_6883285.html
For a long time I doubted the advisability of buying a Korting KDF2050W, but after calculating how much time a month was spent on washing dishes, I decided to buy it. I download it once in the evening and it works great. You cannot achieve this quality of washing by hand. ALL dishes are washed if placed according to the instructions. I use long program cycles so as not to sacrifice the quality of the wash, since I bought it to save time in the first place. However, even with this approach, the increase in energy bills is barely noticeable. I definitely recommend buying it. The only note, perhaps, for those who have a family of 3 or more people... Take a closer look at the full-size options, if the kitchen allows it.

Compact dishwasher Flavia TD 55 Valara
Almost the quietest (up to 47 dB) among mini dishwashers, it serves 6 sets of dishes per cycle, spending up to 8 liters of water on them in full load mode. The device has 5 standard programs and the ability to operate in four temperature modes, as well as a sound signal at the end of the washing cycle and seal protection (on the body). There is a built-in sensor for monitoring water purity, but there is no automatic setting of its hardness. You can use 3-in-1 detergents, and built-in indicators show their presence. Serious disadvantages include the lack of a timer, locking the control panel from unauthorized access (from children) and the usual not very effective drying. The average cost is around 16,000 rubles.
The Flavia TD 55 Valara is almost the quietest of all compact dishwashers
Customer reviews about Flavia TD 55 Valara
We have never regretted purchasing the Flavia TD 55 Valara dishwasher. In a family of two working people, we start it every day; it can accommodate dishes from breakfast and dinner, including a frying pan and a small saucepan. On weekends it happens twice as we cook more. If you lay everything out correctly and select a program, everything is washed! With the 3 in 1 finish tablet on the pot program, dried pots and pans can be easily washed, leaving no foam left. After the end of the program, it is worth opening the door slightly to let the dishes dry (it may be worth experimenting separately with rinse aid and powder). On the program for cymbals we used some kind of cheap noname tablet - everything was fine too. It is convenient to rinse the dishes under the tap immediately after eating (if there are a lot of leftovers) and immediately put them in the washing machine. The sink is now always empty, no mountains of dishes. When the installer came, he advised me to use the products separately so as not to worry about separating the tablets, since they are designed for a full-size machine. The instructions are comprehensive, there is a description of the washing programs and their duration. When washing is complete, the machine beeps and the program indicator in progress stops flashing.

The Flavia TD 55 Valara leaked for the first time after just a week of operation. Water poured out from all the cracks. It so happened that we had to remove the dishwasher and started using it the next time only a year later. During disassembly, it turned out that the hoses were poorly seated and the clamps were not secured correctly. I put the hoses in place and secured the clamps. Earned it. Exactly for two launches. She ran again from somewhere inside the building. I'll take it apart and look again. Terrible model.

— Cons of AEG F 55200 VI
- In order for the machine to effectively wash away contaminants, it is necessary to carefully adjust the salt consumption.
Functionality
When choosing, pay attention to how the dishwasher will work. The available modes and other features are confusing to people. To ensure that the dishwasher operates efficiently, the following are checked:
- The noise level is usually between 40 and 42 dB.
- The function of the aquastop is to control the water level in the cabin.
- Drying system: the client can choose between expensive and low-cost options. Turbo drying and the one that is based on the principle of liquid evaporation.

- Comfortable, intuitive controls.
- A set of PMM modes. For minimal performance, in addition to the standard mode, there must be a delicate and intense one.
The listed set of properties will allow the dishwasher to perform its tasks as efficiently as possible and satisfy the needs of the owner.
Why can't you install
There are few disadvantages to a mini built-in or freestanding device. First of all, there is a small capacity. Such devices can wash 6-8 sets in 1 cycle. This means that it is recommended to purchase them if no more than 3 people live in the house. The disadvantage of low devices is the inability to put large objects into the machine: pots, cutting boards, frying pans, etc. However, some large units are not designed for washing large dishes with wooden elements.
Ginzzu DC281
A model that belongs to the class of compact electronically controlled dishwashers. Despite the fact that the equipment costs about 19,000 rubles, it has a stylish design and washes not 6-7 sets of dishes, but as many as 8. However, due to its large capacity, it also has a significant height of 60 cm, so it will not fit easily under any kitchen sink .
Among the advantages of the dishwasher are low water consumption, up to 7 liters per cycle, stylish design and fairly effective rinsing. The model allows you to choose almost any detergent, and the noise level does not exceed 49 dB. And among the shortcomings, users name a tight door and the lack of a delay timer for the start of the dishwashing process.
How to install?
Procedure:
- Connecting communications. You need to purchase a flat siphon - it is installed in the same way as a regular one. Before installing the siphon, turn off the water.
- It is advisable that the drain hole be located in the corner. If a leak occurs, the water will not get into the expensive dishwasher, but will flow past it.
- A drain hose is connected to the new siphon. You can also connect the washing machine drain here, but then the siphon must have 2 branches.
- Connecting hoses according to the installation diagram.
- Before placing the PMM in the allotted space, you need to ensure that the bottom shelf is firmly attached - it must support the weight of the device.
For free-standing models, installation ends here. If you are installing a partially built-in machine, you also need to attach it with metal strips to the side walls of the cabinet.
Sewage and water supply are half the battle; you still need to provide a connection to the network. There should be an outlet nearby. If it is located far away, you should not connect the device through an extension cord - call an electrician to install an outlet closer to the PMM.
