Buyers are used to the fact that the highest quality dishwashers are collected in Italy and Germany. Mistresses dream of expensive Bosch, Siemens or Miele. But new brands appear, they create products cheaper and no worse in assembly quality and functionality than the brands mentioned above. This includes the Vestel dishwasher.
From our review you will learn basic information about the company, get acquainted with popular models and get access to real user reviews.
Brand Information
Vestel (Vestel) unites in itself at once 19 companies scattered around the world. The head office is located in Turkey (Manisa), and factories are located in different countries of the world.
Today, this company is a leader among European manufacturers, producing not only large and small household appliances, but also electronics. All Vestel products are accompanied by ISO 9001 certificates, therefore, along with other brands, it is represented not only in all European countries, but also in the United States.
Since 2003, Vestel has located its company in Russia. Now, at the facilities located in the city of Alexandrov, Vladimir Region, TVs, refrigeration equipment, washing machines and dishwashers are manufactured. All products manufactured in domestic factories are intended exclusively for the domestic market.
Important! The RIA Novosti news agency published a report in March 2016 stating that due to the economic crisis in Turkey, it was decided to close the Westel-CIS plant in Aleksandrov. At the moment, the company’s website is functioning, but the latest news was published in December last year. The lineup has significantly narrowed, and the products presented on the site, as indicated in the footnote, are processed by another online store.
Nevertheless, Vestel equipment is on sale (presumably not of a Russian assembly), so there should be a review of models.
Popular Models: Overview
We will consider 4 bright representatives from different PMM lines: built-in and floor models in two versions - full-size and narrow. Some models have added user reviews.

Relatively quiet machine - the noise level specified in the technical documentation is only 47 dB.

VDWBI 4522
A narrow dishwasher with full integration into the kitchen set, designed for 10 dishes. The parameters are similar to the previous model, but this manufacturer additionally added the parental control function (child protection). Also, power consumption due to reduced parameters is slightly lower - 0.83 kW / h. There are 1 more programs - only 6 pieces: for example, "Intensive", "Express", "Economy" modes, "Soaking". There are also 5 modes of water temperature. Despite the narrowed case, in the PMM there is still the possibility of half loading the hopper to save time and resources.

User reviews
Andrey, Voronezh
I liked it. Not the cheapest of all Vestel products, so I took it. There has never been a repair in 2 years. I delved into the instructions for a long time, because I did not know how to turn on the typewriter - good, everything is written in Russian. There are enough programs, I connected it myself without any masters. The wife calmed down and no longer crawls with stupid questions, is it not my turn to wash the dishes. The only minus: the salt indicator is constantly on, although there is enough salt there, maybe the fact is that the granules are too large? Another minus is that, in my opinion, we will completely forget how to wash the dishes with our hands (just kidding).
Oleg, Vladimir
I liked the machine for the price. The Russian assembly was not embarrassed - nevertheless, compatriots collected it. Functionality suits. All hoses necessary for connection were included. In the process of operation, I still found cons: the case is poorly fitted, frail. Another machine is noisy, and quite strong. The plate holders do not stack on the lower shelf, and for some reason on the upper basket there is a hinged shelf on one side. Given that he took to the country, for the money I have no complaints.
VDWIT 4514 W
The narrowed freestanding PMM, containing 2 less than the previous set of dishes, is ready to wash 10 sets in one cycle. Higher drying and washing classes provide excellent efficiency of this model. Energy efficiency is indicated by class A +. For convenience, a display is provided for control, and for safety, a parental control function (which prevents children from accidentally pressing buttons). The design provides a flow-type water heater. Water consumption per cycle is 13 liters.
Of the 7 programs, users noted “Intensive”, “Fast”, “Delicate”, “BIO”, “Economy” and “Preliminary”. Condensation drying. 4 temperature conditions. There is a half load.
Features:
- delayed start;
- partial leakage protection;
- indicators of special equipment;
- stainless surface of the hopper inside;
- adjustable basket;
- extra rinse function.
There is no auto-installation of water hardness, there is no sound signal announcing the end of the cycle. At the same time, some shortcomings are compensated by the availability of the cost of 20,000 rubles.
User reviews
Irina, Penza
Everywhere it is written that this machine does not work with 3-in-1 tablets. This is not so: I put it, and the instructions also indicate that you can use the capsules. The machine washes well, but there is not enough blocking the door from children - the door is simply difficult to open, but you can’t call it a lock, I don’t know why it is indicated everywhere that there is protection - maybe I can’t turn it on? I took the car in November 2016 for 19,000 rubles at a discount, but still it was a little expensive for me personally. Although with such characteristics, I still think that this is a good purchase.
Arina, St. Petersburg
Washes well, I like that there is a high temperature mode of 70 degrees. There is no detergent in the kit, they could have put it - in the store I saw that many put a sampler as a gift. Therefore, buy detergent in advance, otherwise a test run will fail.
The main disadvantage: on the front panel I did not find the logo of a cool company. It’s written that some Vestel 😉
In general, seriously, they wanted to take “Bosch” from the budget line or “Indesit” to 20 thousand. But stumbled upon this machine. At that time, there were not even reviews, so they took at their own peril and risk. Now here we write the reviews themselves - buy, and do not be afraid. To buy a good car, it is not necessary to overpay 10-20 thousand for a beautiful logo of a German company.
So, the products of the Turkish brand VESTEL are modern and functional household appliances, which are not inferior to many well-developed companies in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. Everyone will be able to choose a dishwasher of any type of installation for their needs and budget. Have a good choice!
