It is difficult to imagine modern life without technology. Refrigerator, microwave, washing machine - all this makes our life easier, saves time and effort. This also includes a dishwasher. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford this technique, and not so much because of the high price, but because of the impressive dimensions. But there is always a solution - take a look at the Bosch dishwasher 45 cm. Today, in this category of PMM you can find both built-in and freestanding options. Such a machine will not take up much space in the kitchen and will become an excellent assistant.
What are the features of such dishwashers, what are the criteria for their choice and rating of the most popular models, we will consider in this publication.
What characteristics of the Bosch dishwasher 45 cm should I pay attention to
If you go to the store for the first model you get, you can just waste your finances for nothing. The dishwasher should not only fit into the interior of the kitchen, but also meet your needs and expectations. Before you decide on a suitable narrow dishwasher, you should determine for yourself the main parameters that you should pay attention to first.
Experts recommend relying on the following characteristics when choosing a Bosch dishwasher 45 cm:
- overall parameters;
- features and connection diagram;
- the ability to integrate into the kitchen or under the sink;
- type of baskets for dishes, their location and the possibility of regulation;
- washing quality;
- functionality, list of washing modes and temperatures;
- drying, its configuration and features;
- profitability in the matter of water and electricity consumption.
Consider the above points in more detail.
Dimensions
This feature requires accounting if you have a small kitchen. In this case, the built-in 45-cm machine from the Bosch brand is an excellent choice. Of course, it is worth considering that a narrower machine has less capacity, but you can find advantages in this:
- no need to wait until a large volume of dirty dishes is collected;
- profitability in the consumption of resources;
- the performance of a small-sized PMM is enough for a small family of 2-4 people.
Connection
This characteristic is closely related to the energy consumption of the dishwasher. If the model provides for connection to hot water, then the heater is much less loaded, and electricity will be consumed to a minimum. The flip side of the “coin” is that water consumption will increase, and with today's billing, saving is a big question.
Important! Experts are sure that the most optimal connection of PMM is to a cold water pipe. This will preserve machine parts that are vulnerable to scale and limescale. In addition, cold water provides a higher quality wash.
Embeddability
Users especially appreciate the Bosch dishwashers, which can be integrated under the sink or in the kitchen set - in this case, the discreet design of the equipment will not spoil even the most sophisticated interior.
Baskets
In the 45-cm Bosch dishwasher, baskets should be as convenient as possible so that with the small parameters of the machine you have the opportunity to wash any type of dishes - from glasses to baking trays. Well, if the selected model will include containers for cutlery, special fasteners for glasses, departments for small kitchen utensils, etc. The more functional the tank, the better. The preferred material is steel rather than plastic.
Wash quality
Typically, the manufacturer Bosch produces cars with the highest class of washing. But just in case, pay attention to the information sticker on the case, where the quality will be marked in Latin letters.
So, the highest classes are A or A +. The worst quality indicators for washing dishes are D, E. Class B and C machines wash dishes at an average level, but it’s better to pay a little extra and choose the highest class, because the machine should wash the dishes and not just sprinkle them with water - this is its main purpose.
Programs and modes
Most Bosch 45 cm machines are equipped with full functionality. Nevertheless, when choosing, pay attention to the presence of such modes:
- Main. This regime can have many names, but its essence is to wash under hot 50-60-degree water for a couple of hours.
- "Super mode." The meaning of such a wash is to rinse the dishes with very hot water for 1.5 hours.
- “Soaking”, “Pre-washing”, “Soaking” - this mode is suitable for dried dishes.
- "Fast". Suitable for not so dirty plates. Washing lasts 30-40 minutes.
The main modes will be quite enough for the normal washing of any dishes. But Bosch manufacturers went further and began to equip some of their models with 10-15 modes. Not the fact that you will use all the features. Therefore, if you see that the price is too high compared to a similar model with a smaller set of modes, think carefully before buying.
Drying
Even narrow 45 cm models can fully dry dishes. It can be natural drying, when water just drains from the dishes for a certain time. Or the machine can be equipped with convection blowers, which quickly drain the dishes, while spending more energy than conventional models.
Despite being uneconomical, turbo-drying models are in enviable demand from customers.
Save water and electricity
To find out the degree of efficiency of the machine, it is worth correlating this parameter with the number of programs. For example, if forced-draft drying is provided for in the PMM design, then such a model will be inferior to others in energy efficiency. The same goes for roominess - the more sets of dishes the dishwasher can wash, the more water it will need.
Important! Many Bosch dishwashers have innovative sprinklers that manage to save water by one third of the standard flow rate without losing the quality of the wash.

Alina, Divnomorsk
It is worth praising this machine for the excellent washing of fat from any dishes. For 4 years of operation, not a single failure, so even the instruction was never needed. There is a problem: one basket has broken, now I don’t know where to buy a new one. Quite quiet operation, quick drying, completely satisfied with the selected model.

Sergey, St. Petersburg
Bachelor's life is rich and interesting. There was no time for washing dishes. With the move to a new apartment I bought a dishwasher. I chose the latest model, was immediately oriented to the German manufacturer. I did not regret it. And even not too lazy after 2 years of use to write a review, because the technology to this day works like new. After noisy parties, plates, glasses, glasses, forks and spoons shine like new. Nothing has broken on any cycle, there have been no leaks and other excesses. I am completely satisfied, I advise everyone.
As you can see, all models of PMM "Bosch" are of high quality and are in demand. The only problem that may arise is the search for components. Although with careful use, this problem will "disappear." We wish you a balanced and right choice.
