Pros and Cons of PMM from Ikea
Models are actively sold in Ikea brand stores, so there are enough reviews. Among them there are positives that characterize dishwashers only on the best side, and negative ones that affect their weaknesses.
Users like the following:
- machines fully meet the parameters declared by the manufacturer;
- economical washing programs ("Eco", "Fast") are justified;
- almost all options are convenient and actively used;
- there is nothing superfluous in machines - only useful functions;
- silent work does not create a "noise screen";
- detailed documentation with specifications and installation instructions;
- convenient sections for placing various dishes.
Embedding the model is easy, according to the manufacturer's schemes. The dimensions of the models are standard, so problems with installation and connection does not occur.
There are complaints of insufficient cleaning of heavily soiled pans and pans. Such items must first be soaked, since the dishwasher's power is not enough to completely clean them of burnt products, a thick layer of grease or colored streaks.
Many are bribed by a large warranty period of 5 years (except for the Lagan model). If during this period any parts fail, the company undertakes to make a replacement for free - search for parts you don’t have to do it yourself.
Conclusions and useful video on the topic
The expediency of buying a dishwasher will help to figure out the video:
A short video about the features of the built-in Ikea dishwasher that you need to know for the proper installation of machines:
The Ikea lineup consists of 7 machines of various sizes, spaciousness, functionality and noise. In order not to overpay for "bells and whistles", before buying you need to decide on the minimum of necessary functions. Why pay 40 instead of 20 thousand.rub. if your family of 2-3 people uses only two programs?

I know that in order to reduce the cost of goods for the Russian consumer, Ikea transferred the production of many goods to Russia. In my opinion, before that these products were better and even won in terms of aesthetics. And in what country are their dishwashers produced? I do not want to buy Russian-made. Already learned by bitter experience - even Chinese technology sometimes behaves better than Russian-made ...
Hello Olga! On the official website of IKEA, it is indicated that household appliances under the brand of the company are produced by: Electrolux and Whirlpool. Moreover, equipment is only manufactured in the EU countries: Germany, Hungary, Slovenia. A full guarantee for all household appliances is 5 years, which is much more than similar appliances of the same Electrolux and Whirlpool. How much can you trust such statements? You decide.
But don't forget that IKEA is the oldest Swedish brand operating since 1943. Every year, the company invests millions of euros in advertising and reputation, which is very valued. Therefore, in my opinion, if Ikea is selling household appliances under his own name, then this is a worthy technique.
Another caveat is the availability of service. IKEA today is in every major city in Russia.
I agree with you completely, Olga. I have Elspam in my house. The machine is moody. At first, after the purchase, it worked well, but after about six months it began to “take off” from work. That really does not wash the dishes, then the rinse mode will stop working. I had to repair, at that at my own expense. The warranty was refused, although not much time passed. It seems that now the problems have disappeared, but I regret the fact that I bought this particular machine.
Not so long ago, an old dream came true - the purchase of a dishwasher. In Ikea, the most reliable Medelstor seemed to me. There is not much space in the kitchen, but this model is quite compact. He normally copes with his work, I have been using it for more than three months now. In general, I think the goods in this store are of medium quality, but here it was apparently lucky. So, it is quite possible to look at the cars of this manufacturer.
