I bought a dishwasher in the middle of last year. After trying it out, I was puzzled: Why do we say that dishwasher is easy to use? I think it's so hard to use! So since then, the dishwasher has been idle.
This year I didn’t believe in evil, so I bought a second dishwasher - the dishwasher that used to eat dust all year round, now I use it almost every day. At the same time, I also understand why the reputation of dishwashers is so polarized: it turns out that choosing the wrong product will have such a great impact on dishwashers!
Dishwasher usage experience three questions
Question 1. Can it be washed clean?
The answer is yes, even cleaner than hand washing.
Hand washing dishes, there may be detergent residues. The dishwasher has a very strong rinsing force. Not to mention detergent, even the leftovers stuck to the bottom of the dish can be washed down.
After hand washing, some water stains will remain on the tableware. These water stains slowly dry, leaving a layer of scale on the bottom of the tableware. The dishwasher has a drying function. After washing, dry the water stains and there will be no problem with scale.
In addition to "washing", the dishwasher also has a sterilization function. not only washes away visible dirty things, but also washes away invisible dirty things. This is something hand washing can never do.
Question 2. Is it convenient to use?
My first dishwasher is very inconvenient to use, but the second dishwasher is quite convenient.
The first dishwasher is inconvenient, on the one hand, because its size is unreasonable . It looks quite roomy, but the tableware cannot be put in - the specifications of pull-basket do not match the tableware. Every time you use it, you have to be patient and slowly stack it.
On the other hand, it is because its drain is too small , and a little bit of rice will be blocked. Before putting the tableware in, you need to "pre-wash" it first and pour the leftover food into the trash can to ensure that there is no trace of particles on the tableware. But since they are all "pre-washed" so clean, why do I still use a dishwasher?
Question 3. Is the cost higher than hand washing?
Although dishwasher merchants are unwilling to admit it, from my perspective, the cost is slightly higher than hand washing.
First of all, the water bill is about the same as the dishwasher. uses a lot of water for hand washing, but the time is short. The dishwasher uses a nozzle to spray water out, and the amount of water is small. But each wash takes dozens of minutes, and over time, the amount of water is also large.
followed by detergent, I feel that the cost of the dishwasher is slightly higher. The dishwasher needs to use both washing blocks and salt blocks. Although it only needs to be added once every six months, it costs nearly 100 yuan each time. If you use dishwashing liquid, it should cost less than 100 yuan in half a year.
Finally, the electricity bill is, hand washing does not require electricity, but the dishwasher needs it. If the heating and sterilization functions are turned on, the power consumption of the dishwasher is still considerable.
Correct choice method
There are many functions and parameters on the dishwasher, which is dazzling to ordinary people. But according to my experience, you only need to pay attention to three aspects to ensure the most basic use of the dishwasher - at least it will not be idle like my first dishwasher.
Purchase 1. Capacity is important, and layout is also important
The capacity of the dishwasher, my suggestion is that the larger the better.
There are few tableware and you can't fill it up; but if you buy a dishwasher and can't put it in at critical moments, it will be annoying.
Moreover, the more full the dishwasher, the worse the washing effect. The more overlapping parts between tableware, the greater the chance that the blocked areas will not be cleaned.
More importantly, small capacity dishwasher cannot wash the pot! is more difficult to wash than tableware. The tableware is not washed by hand, do we have to wash the pot by hand? The capacity of the
dishwasher is not less than 8 sets - but my first dishwasher has 10 sets, but it is still not easy to use; the second dishwasher has 10 sets, but it feels enough. So, in addition to capacity, don’t forget to pay attention to the layout of . Even the dishwasher manufacturer can't explain clearly what this unit represents.Therefore, whether the tableware can be placed depends on whether the layout inside is reasonable or not. It is divided into several layers, the height of each layer, the position of several bowls, and the position of several plates...
A good dishwasher should design a reasonable internal layout according to Chinese food habits. must not only make use of all the space, but also ensure that every part of the space can be placed in tableware.
Purchase 2. Don’t be too greedy for functions
There are so many fancy functions on the dishwasher. For every extra function, you have to add a few hundred yuan. But when actually using it, most functions are unnecessary. In my opinion, there are only two truly useful additional functions:
① Pasteurization (or high-temperature sterilization), which is sterilized by heating. has other sterilization functions, including ultraviolet rays, ozone , etc. However, ultraviolet sterilization requires the tableware to be exposed. The tableware stacked in the dishwasher may not be able to be received, and the sterilization effect can naturally be imagined.
Ozone sterilization recommended to stay away from as much as possible - my first dishwasher is ozone sterilization, which is so stinky! Especially bamboo products (chopsticks, chopping boards), after being exposed to ozone, will emit a strong odor and will not dissipate for a long time.
② Automatic ventilation, this is a function I discovered after I bought the second dishwasher, it is simply very easy to use. The inside of the dishwasher itself is a closed environment. After washing, a lot of water vapor remains inside, which makes it very wet. Every time I take out the bowl, it is wet.
There are many ways to automatically ventilate, some are automatic ventilation, and some are automatic door opening. No matter which function, it can ensure that the interior of the dishwasher is absolutely dry. Moreover, it is automatically ventilated after washing the dishes in , and does not require manual operation, which is very convenient.
Purchase 3. After trying the effect, you will know the advantages of
. You can write a paper. Of course, this is about Wang Po selling melons and boasting about himself.
. Whether the dishwasher is easy to use and whether it can be cleaned is only known after really trying it. And it is not to put a bowl in the dishwasher like in the store to test it, but to actually move to the home and test in a home scenario.
So before buying a dishwasher, it is best to ask the people around you first, or check out the buyer show in the store. Summarize the problems during the use of the dishwasher together - you just need the advantages of , but you just don't care about the disadvantages, so that you can find a dishwasher that is truly suitable for you.
