Dishwasher Flavia - a relative novelty in the market for household appliances. Flavia dishwashers differ in affordable cost, as they are designed for the average buyer. Note the features of all models:
- “Smart” detergent dispenser - controls the hardness of the incoming water and regulates the volume of salt.
- Flowing heater for heating water is already at the stage of filling the hopper.
- ASC motor allows you to adjust the speed of rotation of the nozzles inside the hopper.
- S-Type nozzles direct water to all bunker compartments, providing the highest quality cleaning.
We will understand the types and types of dishwashers of the Flavia brand, consider popular and new models and reviews to them.
Where are the PMM Flavia manufactured?
The manufacturer’s country is not indicated on the official website of the company, but, according to reliable information, all Flavia dishwashers are made at factories located in China. How high-quality and reliable the Chinese assembly is for you to judge. Today from China they deliver such a "motley" product: from ordinary fakes to premium technology, that it would be wrong to draw preliminary conclusions.
Types of dishwashers Flavia
Consider the main types of PMM presented on the official website of the company.
Fully recessed
One of the most popular options that can be installed in the kitchen or under the countertop. These machines are completely covered with a furniture facade, without destroying the integrity of the design solution in the kitchen. Flavia has an impressive range of dishwashers with the possibility of full integration, among which you can choose the right one:
- A compact model of a fully built-in type - up to 45 cm wide. An excellent choice for a small kitchen, when each square meter is worth its weight in gold. At the same time, the models are inferior to others in capacity and wash up to 10 sets of dishes in one cycle, therefore they are suitable for a small family of 2-3 people.
- A full-size machine with a capacity of up to 14 utensils. Choose from a host of programs to efficiently consume resources and detergent. Suitable for those who do not want to change the style of the kitchen and use a lot of dishes in everyday life.
Model example: narrow machine BI 45 Kamaya S, 45 cm wide
Features:
- The "beam on the floor" function, with which it is easy to control the progress of the washing process.
- Alternative wash (alternative loading method), thanks to which you can choose in which basket to wash the dishes.
- Power Wash - enhanced washing. This option can be activated in addition to the main mode; will help to wash even the most difficult pollution.
- Express Wash - express wash. The option will save up to 30% of the time in any standard mode while maintaining the quality of the wash.
- EXTRA DRYING - additional drying, dousing the dishes with water heated to 70 degrees for disinfection from pathogenic bacteria.
Compact built-in models
For a small kitchen, the built-in compact model is what you need. Its advantages:
- usability, wide functionality;
- high speed of standard and additional cycles - due to the presence of instantaneous water heater;
- reasonable cost - now everyone who wants to save themselves from the hassle in the kitchen can afford the PMM.
Example: built-in compact dishwasher CI 55 Havana, 55 cm wide
Features of the model:
- the presence of a flowing water heater;
- a delay timer to start the machine at a convenient time - at night, early in the morning or while you are at work;
- the case and camera are protected from leaks.
Partially Embedded Models
Their main advantage is the front-mounted control panel. We devoted a whole review to typewriters with an open panel - take a look, if you're interested. Briefly: these are PMMs that are built into the headset, but the user panel remains visible. Thanks to this design, it is possible to control the sink and monitor its progress.
What is the difference from a fully integrated model? To check the operation of a conventional machine, you need to open the cabinet door, and the program will pause, which will increase the washing time. A dishwasher with an open user unit from Flavia allows you to control processes without interrupting the washing cycle. The installation of both types of cars is identical, the difference is only in the final result and appearance.
Example: full-size dishwasher SI 60 ENNA L, 60 cm wide
Differences and features:
- hopper interior lighting;
- basket with adjustable height;
- special filter of the "breathing" type;
- custom stainless steel panel protected by a coating that prevents fingerprints;
- alternative loading (washing in any of the baskets);
- disinfection of dishes.
Freestanding PMM
If the design of the kitchen has long been chosen and repairs have already been made, and there is no space for a dishwasher in the headset, a freestanding model is the best solution. Features of not built-in dishwashers from Flavia:
- Refined design. Such a PMM is always in sight, and this was taken into account by the developers when designing the facade of the equipment. Touch panel, laconic lines, style and quality of parts - you yourself will not agree to hide such a machine in furniture.
- Maximum load capacity. 60 cm models are placed in the bunker up to 14 utensils. This will save time and resources.
- One year warranty. When purchasing the Flavia PMM, you can contact the service center within 12 warranty months.
Example: Full-size dishwasher FS 60 ENZA, 60 cm wide
Functionality and features:
- alternative download;
- additional drying with disinfection of dishes;
- turbidity sensor that scans the purity of water to determine the number of rinses;
- accelerated cycle, reducing the time of any program by 30% while maintaining the quality of the wash.
Desktop options
This PMM is suitable for anyone who can not afford to clutter up useful space in their kitchen. The main plus of the desktop design: reliability and mobility. Rent an apartment? You should not buy a built-in or full-size model, buy a desktop dishwasher and facilitate moving. Features of compact models:
- Modest dimensions. A width of 50 cm allows you to hide the machine in any cabinet, placed on a small cabinet, table top or under it.
- Capacity up to 6 sets. This is quite enough for a small family. An additional plus is saving resources and washing dishes in small batches (there is no need to collect mountains of dirty dishes all day).
Example: compact dishwasher TD 55 Valara, 55 cm wide
Advantages and features:
- flowing heater;
- leakage protection (housing and washing hopper);
- modest dimensions.
User reviews
Flavia BI 45 DELIA
Elena, Kirov
Got an inexpensive dishwasher Flavia BL 45 Delia. The instructions are in Russian, so there were no problems with the installation. For a year of use, it was not noticed that the machine is flowing or buggy - everything is stable. There is sufficient capacity for a narrow machine, there are no complaints about drying, the sink is top class. Among the shortcomings, I would like to note the lack of a container for cutlery - earlier in the Indesit this was, therefore, used to. Conveniently, with a narrow design, pans and pans easily enter the hopper. A separate plus is that there is a portable basket, thanks to which the issue with cutlery is solved. In general, I am satisfied with my choice, despite the fact that this is a Chinese brand.
Flavia CI 55 HAVANA
Natasha, Simferopol
The machine was purchased relatively recently, but I already managed to fully test all the programs and modes. They attracted design, price, functionality, and most importantly, compactness. We live in a small odnushka, so it was always problematic to install large household appliances, as a result - the washer is narrow, the refrigerator is small, there is no microwave. But I always dreamed about a dishwasher, that's why I bought a desktop version. I use on average three times a day - after each meal. There is much to say about the quality of washing - everything shines, the plates and mugs are clean to a creak.
Flavia TD 55 VALARA
Alena, Kaliningrad
This is some kind of nightmare. After the breakdown of their favorite Bosch dishwasher, they decided to save money and bought this Chinese nonsense. From the first day, surprises began: the door was falling! She barely holds on, and her husband could not do anything about it. The time until the end of the wash is not counted, so how much more remains to guess, looking at the light bulb. It’s good that we managed to return it. Sorry for the money spent on salt and rinse aid - out of habit, I fell asleep everything to the eyeballs.
As you can see, the reviews about the Flavia PMM are very ambiguous, some are delighted, and some people do not like the technique of this brand. Given that the cost of these machines is an order of magnitude lower than the products of trusted brands, this is quite expected. But we add from ourselves that the quality of washing dishes, the functionality and continuity of work depend on many factors: the correct installation, selection of detergents, compliance with operating rules.
