Dishwasher GSA 489: reviews

When choosing a technique for the home, each one has its own key parameters that have a strong influence on the final decision. And if with some devices there are no complications, then others can be attributed to specific ones, as a result of which it becomes more difficult to make a choice.

A vivid example of the rare and difficult in the matter of choice is the dishwasher. To gain popularity such solutions, which allow you to automate some of the routine domestic work, have become more recently. As a result, there is little information about them on the web, and many do not consider the acquisition of this kind of equipment a necessity, although in fact it makes life much easier. In this article, we will consider one of the models of Kuppersberg dishwashers, namely GSA 489. Also, its advantages and disadvantages revealed on the basis of user feedback will be presented. However, first we will give a little attention to technical characteristics and appearance.

Main Features of the Dishwasher

It is worth noting that this model was certified in Russia, and therefore should have a fairly high quality. It is allowed to work with surfaces that subsequently come into contact with food. The manufacturer refers it to a semi-professional class, which leads to the conclusion about long-term work and readiness to perform large volumes.

A 1-year warranty is provided for the user, during which time he is insured against any malfunctions not connected with a violation of the usage instruction or physical wear of the parts. At one time in the car you can load up to ten sets of dishes, which is enough for a family of 3-4 people. Use it on an industrial scale is not recommended, because it is still a household appliance. The class of both washing and drying in the model Kuppersberg GSA 489 is declared by the manufacturer within the limits of the norms inherent in the "A" class. Electronic technology is used for tuning and control.

Dimensions and type of installation

This machine has got quite a compact size, despite the roomy chamber for dishes. This contributes to the possibility of its placement even in a small kitchen. When choosing a location for installing GSA 489, it should be borne in mind that the technique is designed to be fully integrated into kitchen furniture.

The niche dimensions should be prepared based on the following machine parameters:

• The width is 44.8 cm.
• The depth is 54.5 cm.
• The height is adjustable from 81.8 cm to 86.8 cm if necessary.

As a result, we have a compact, but capacious machine. As far as it is convenient, we learn from the feedback of users a little later.

Consumption and Energy Efficiency

According to the characteristics of the manufacturer, the built-in dishwasher Kuppersberg GSA 489 received the energy consumption class "A". And she fully justifies it, because for one cycle of dishwashing the energy costs are about 0.85 kWh. At the same time, only 12 liters of water are used for the same cycle. It is worth noting that if you wash the dishes by hand, investing in the same amount will be quite problematic.

Customization options and washing programs

The control of such a dishwasher is simplified as much as possible so that before using it, an ordinary housewife does not have to study a multi-page manual for use. There are eight different programs to choose from. Each of them is responsible for cleaning various types of pollution from a wide variety of materials, whether it is ceramics, glass or plastic containers.

With the same purpose and for more precise adjustment, one of seven temperature modes can be selected. They will allow your dishes to maintain a decent appearance for a long time, because some coatings do not like too high water temperatures. In addition, certain types of impurities are better eliminated at low temperatures.

Among all programs, it is especially worth noting the possibility of intensive washing for old contaminants and stale fat, a half-load regime that saves water, and a delicate washing program for fragile dishes, such as crystal. Thanks to these modes, the built-in dishwasher Kuppersberg GSA 489, whose user reviews we will discuss a little later, stands out against the background of their competitors.

Features of the model

Among other things that I would like to mention, is the availability of a function such as a delayed start timer. It can be useful in case you want to set the program, for example, after you go to work, so that the machine does not interfere with its noise quietly assemble. Yes, the noise level is quite high and is 48 dB. For someone, this parameter is quite acceptable, others it is terribly annoying, and it becomes apparent when you read about the GSA 489 customer reviews.

It is worth noting from the positive side and the foresight of the manufacturer who equipped the car with special protection against leaks. Even if the hose or filter breaks down, you will have a minimal chance to flood your neighbors, as in most cases the protection will work as it should.

Other Useful Points

Among not particularly critical to the user, but still useful functions can be identified a few more:

• Ability to adjust the height of the basket for dishes. This point will allow you to install a fairly large diameter dish. But at the same time do not expect to wash very large dishes intended for cakes, and similar dishes to them.
• Separate indicators for salt and rinse aid. Thanks to them you will always know when this or that consumable is running out, or you just forgot to put it. As a result, no washing will fail in the idle mode, and the dishwasher GSA 489 will actually save your resources.

Let's now pay attention to the opinions of those who have already acquired this model, and we will consistently analyze its positive and negative sides on the basis of feedback.

What to consider when installing

Despite the fact that the power consumption is rather low, it is necessary to remember the power supply wiring capacity. Peak consumption of the machine can reach 1900 watts for short periods of time. This is mainly due to the heating of the water for washing and the included TEN. In addition, it is worth considering the possibility of installing additional sound insulation, if the noise level seems unacceptable to your living conditions. Considering that the GSA 489 is built-in, it is not difficult to install soundproof materials inside the furniture box.

Prospect of the dishwasher from the words of users

Perhaps the main point that characterizes the dishwasher on the positive side is the quality of washing dishes loaded into it. And with this, according to customers, she's coping just fine. On the dishes there are no divorces and other unpleasant moments, as well as pieces of food. Even strongly adhering dirt is eliminated without a trace. In addition, the smell left of food disappears completely. So according to this parameter the dishwasher gets an "excellent" rating.

The second point noticed by users is the ability to select programs. Thanks to this, it was possible to choose one that most suited to the daily working conditions.

The prize for compactness is also unequivocally available for the Kuppersberg GSA 489 dishwasher. The reviews repeatedly notice that it, thanks to such small dimensions, looks great even in studio apartments, where minimum space is by default. At the same time, the capacity was not affected.

Negative aspects of the model

Despite the fact that many users make the maximum assessment, there are those who are dissatisfied with their acquisition, and they openly express their discontent. The main reason for such problems is not exactly adequate, according to them, the behavior of technical support during the warranty period. Sometimes it was difficult to prove this or that malfunction, caused by the fault of the manufacturer. However, as a result, most users were able to achieve high-quality skilled repairs.

Some buyers encountered a persistent smell of plastic, which did not erode even after 2-3 months of using the dishwasher. However, given that there are relatively few such reviews, it can be assumed that such a situation is caused by a not quite high-quality party, which has already been sold by this time, which means that the chances of encountering it are not high.

For some users, the minus is a rather high noise level, comparable to the conversation of a person who generates a dishwasher GSA 489 during operation. The reviews say that when you are in the immediate vicinity you sometimes have to speak a little louder so that the interlocutor can hear. On this parameter, the machine clearly loses to its competitors.

Well, the last, often occurring moment is a periodic hangup of the control system, which is often treated with a simple reboot of the machine and restarting the program.

Conclusion

This model of the dishwasher is suitable for those who appreciate every centimeter of free space in the kitchen and does not want to lose it just like that. At the same time, the GSA 489 is quite capacious, unlike its competitors, which have the same characteristics regarding dimensions.

However, she has a number of shortcomings, which can both close her eyes, and seriously think about them. If you want impeccable reliability, it is better to think about purchasing a device more expensively from a well-known manufacturer. If you only need a high-quality dishwashing in the set time, then this model is perfect.

Despite the fact that you have to spend money on it, later it will save you both money and time, which, according to a famous saying, can also be turned into money. Thanks to the economical use of resources, the cost of water and electricity (if there is an electric water heater for a kitchen sink) will significantly decrease, which will not slow down in new payments for utilities.
