Types of dishwashers

Built-in all-in
Recessed dishwashers are great for kitchens of any design, as they are completely hidden behind the front of the kitchen unit. The machines can be full-size or narrow.
If there are more than two people in the family, it is worth choosing a wide dishwasher. Such a machine at a time washes up to 16 sets of dishes.
Machines are built into the countertop and hidden behind the panel, which is ordered with the set.
Built-in partially
Machines are similar to the previous type. They also come in wide (60 cm) and narrow (45 cm). The only difference is that the display remains outside. This allows you to monitor the washing process without opening the door.
Freestanding
A dishwasher of the classic type. In addition to placement anywhere, you can note such a plus as a simple diagnosis. If a breakdown happens, you do not have to bother with dismantling the unit: just move it away from the wall to diagnose it.

How to choose and what to look for
The dishwasher, as well as any other large equipment, is bought for at least ten years. It is important not to choose the first machine you see, but to analyze the pros and cons of several models.
In addition to the price of the unit, it is important to consider the following criteria:
- Dimensions and method of installation. The choice of location and type of installation are interrelated. The dishwasher can be partially or completely built into the set, or stand alone. Each type of unit is subdivided into full-size and narrow.
- Technical Specifications. Parameters should be consistent with the tasks that the consumer needs. It can be economical water consumption per cycle and low power consumption. Minimum consumption of resources is noted in compact models.
- Type of control. Modern dishwashers are equipped with a display that shows the operating mode, the selected option and the time to the end of the cycle. Some models are supplemented with a light indicator: a beam of light falls on the floor at the end of washing.
- Programs. The machines are equipped with standard, intensive and accelerated washing modes. Some dishwashers have eco-mode and gentle washing function.
- Drying. The appliance can have a ventilated drying system and an intelligent drying system. In the latter case, the drying is accomplished by heating and blowing dry.
- AquaStop .. Function necessary to prevent flooding. If the hose and other parts strip, the sensor responds to the leak by blocking the water supply.
- Dual Wash.. This is the ability to load dishes with different characteristics at the same time. Dirty pots and fragile glassware are washed in one cycle.
- Noise level. The indicator is measured in decibels. Dishwashers with a noise level of 45 dB are quiet. Dishwashers with a score of more than 50 dB make a lot of noise, so they are inconvenient to use at night.

Awesome machine. I have an F60x2R. A lot of dishes fit inside, and it looks very compact. It is made of durable materials and has been in good working order for two years. I have never washed the duck pans in it after roasting a fatty duck. My question is: does the duck pans need to be cleaned from grease before use? Won't it harm the dishwasher? What are the best capsules to use to get the grease out?
