Manuals of product 3VK311BC
Editorial note
The Balay 3VK311BC dishwasher stands out for its compact and integrated design, which easily fits into various spaces while maintaining a modern aesthetic. Its water consumption of only 8 liters per cycle and its noise level of 54 dB make it an efficient and pleasant appliance to use. Additionally, the four washing programs, including eco-friendly and intensive options, provide valuable flexibility to meet different cleaning needs. However, this model has some drawbacks. It is not equipped with a delayed start function, which limits flexibility in programming cycles. The absence of the AquaStop function raises concerns about water leaks, and its energy efficiency class F makes it less competitive compared to other models on the market. Furthermore, the dishwasher does not have child safety features, which can be a disadvantage for households with young children, and the height of the upper basket is not adjustable, limiting storage options. The writing scores reflect an overall satisfactory user experience, with a score of 75 for user experience and ergonomics, although some practical aspects could be improved. The performance of the Balay 3VK311BC is deemed acceptable, but its energy class F and the lack of certain modern features diminish its value for money, rated at 65. In terms of robustness, the integrated overflow protection enhances confidence in using the appliance, with a score of 80. In summary, the Balay 3VK311BC is an interesting choice for those looking for a compact and efficient dishwasher, but it is important to consider the limitations in terms of features and energy efficiency before making a purchase.Score details
