IKEA from the Netherlands has long been familiar to Russian customers. Despite the fact that many associate the company with furniture and accessories for the home and office, it produces quite powerful household appliances. We devoted this review to the popular IKEA dishwashers - we examined their characteristics, features and prices.
Dishwashers IKEA - who is the manufacturer
PMMs were created in collaboration with companies such as Electrolux and Whirlpool, so they can compete in parameters even with Bosch (Bosch) or Siemens (Siemens). Today, the corporation produces exclusively built-in dishwashers that have an energy efficiency class from A to A ++. Manufacturers give a whole 5 years warranty on their home appliances (except for the LAGAN series).
Advantages and features of the PMM IKEA
What are the main advantages of IKEA dishwashers:
- Water saving. To wash a mountain of dishes to a crystal shine, you will need from 7.5 to 15 liters of water, depending on the model of the machine.
Important! A manual wash takes 30 liters of water at a time.
- Full embedment. The built-in machine easily fits in the closet of the kitchen set. You can hang on it exactly the same door as the facades of your entire kitchen to preserve a single composition.
- Fragile cookware safety. Careful attitude to glass and porcelain is provided by soft coasters and a dozen special holders for wine glasses. All this protects the dishes from damage during intensive washing.
- Well-designed wash tank loading. PMM "IKEA" baskets are designed in such a way that the appliances are in an upright position - this guarantees a thorough washing and easy sorting when loading and unloading kitchen utensils.

User reviews
Alexey, Vitebsk
I drove to IKEA for furniture, and away we go ... As a result, they persuaded me to buy a dishwasher with the kitchen, they say, put it in such a way that no one would guess that there is a dishwasher in the cabinet. The girl didn’t know what was needed for the dishwasher, so they purchased a starter kit for the first wash Top House. Later they began to buy cheaper products from Auchan, the quality of washing was not affected. Most importantly, for more than a year now, we have not washed dishes at all by hand - and this luxury is worth the money. Then MEDELSTOR cost almost 30,000, and now it’s almost 5K less (I recently went to the oven), so take a discount for now. To be honest, I was very first alarmed by the weird names of the technology. But later it turned out that behind the funny Dutch words is the excellent quality of assembly and washing. In addition, there was a completely understandable instruction manual.

She gave herself a typewriter - six months ago for her birthday. I am indifferent to washing dishes, but because of work, there was simply not enough time for this lesson. At first I wanted to take “Bosch” or “Siemens”, then leaned towards LAGAN, and as a result I went to IKEA and bought MEDELSTOR. With IKEA as always: you go behind a stool, and you go out with something more expensive. In my case, I bought a dishwasher, although I postponed its purchase a week later - I just wanted to see it. For six months now I have the perfect manicure, always well-groomed hands and more than an hour of time has been added to useful things. I haven’t taken it to repair yet. But immediately I want to warn about the cons. I think the instrument tray is wildly ill-conceived and uncomfortable. And spaciousness let us down - it's still a narrow model, only then I realized that I had to fork out for a wide car. My rating: 4 points out of 5.
As you can see, companies that are known as suppliers of inexpensive and practical furniture can surprise and create pretty good home appliances in tandem with well-known brands. Given the relatively low prices, we believe that the IKEA PMM is an excellent option, especially if you buy complete with a kitchen set. What do you think? Share your opinion in the comments.
