1. You save water and save on your electricity bill , because it is more efficient than washing dishes by hand.
2. You save space. If you have a small kitchen but don't want to give up a dishwasher, you can place it anywhere. There are also compact dishwashers that have a 6-place capacity and can be placed on the countertop.
3. You save time. You won't have to wash dishes by hand, and you'll have more time for yourself.
4. They're more affordable. There are many 45cm dishwasher models available for purchase starting at €300.
5. You'll have more order in your kitchen . You won't have dishes in a drainer or on the countertop taking up space.
6. 45cm dishwashers feature a glass protection system to keep dishes sparkling clean.
7. Many include a third tray for holding cutlery, which will give you more space in the lower basket for pots or pans.
8. Dual-action arms reach every corner of the upper basket, so your dishes will be twice as clean.
