Latest ATAG dishwashers save water and energy

(09/12/2009)

The dishwashers of the nineties expended far more water and energy, and the cleaning process was slower and not nearly so thorough. There were fewer programmes, less space and flexibility in the cavity, and no display panels to inform us of the machine’s progress.

ATAG’s new range of fully integrated dishwashers is an example of the progress made. The new ATAG models have all the latest technological wizardry, but equally reassuring for purchasers is the fact that they will be investing in a dishwasher whose robust construction and contemporary design are right at the top of the class. ATAG products are built to last.

The three new dishwashers are fully integrated and constructed of stainless steel, and comprise of the deluxe model VA9611TT (a 17 place settings with four wash baskets), the VA6611TT (16 place settings), and the VA6611PT (14 place settings). The dishwashers are designed to be fully integrated into the kitchen layout and as well as under a worktop can also be built into a tall housing unit.

Much thought has gone into the careful and precise design of the new ATAG models. The dishwashers are made with room to spare from quality materials and there are many practical ways to arrange the dishes, cutlery and delicate wine glasses. The most important parts are made from stainless steel (rather than plastic) and no other material is as durable for the purpose.

What is immediately apparent about the new ATAG dishwashers is their incredible quietness, thanks to such technology as the high quality sound-damping insulation material that is also used in luxury cars. All three models have a hidden, integrated electronic control panel with automatic programmes bringing significant savings over the course of a year in terms of energy consumption, water and electricity. Less than 10 litres of water are required for one dishwashing cycle due to special sensors that detect the load and its dirt content. The fully automatic programme ensures that the right amount of water, as well as setting the correct temperature and the appropriate washing programme.

ATAG’s National Sales Manager, Graham Gleave says: “Those consumers who have been limping along with their old model will be astounded by the technology and quality of today’s dishwashers when they take that important decision to trade up.
“Our new deluxe VA9611TT is an excellent example of modern technology in tandem with sleek, contemporary design. New and those replacing their dishwasher with an ATAG will notice at once the savings they make in energy and water.”
