About Moundfield Dishwashers
Maunfeld Dishwashers (PMMs) are a well-known brand in Russia. Models offered on the Russian market attract customers by price, functionality and a good brand reputation.
Whose brand and who is the manufacturer?
The brand “Minefield” appeared in 1998 in the UK. At present, VADAN Ltd LLC owns this trademark in the Russian and CIS markets. Although the brand has English roots, the United Kingdom is not a country producing home appliances offered to our customers. Hoods, dishwashers, ovens and other appliances are manufactured in factories in Poland, Italy, France, Turkey and China.
PMM Maunfeld Features
The company that implements the "Minefield" technique presents domestic dishwashers as an economical technique that carefully consumes all types of resources.
PMM features:
- "A beam on the floor." Such an indicator is available for many models of “Minefield”. Thanks to him, the user can understand - the technique works or not.
- All in One. This feature enhances the effectiveness of 3 in 1 tablets.
- Condensation drying. All devices are equipped with the simplest type of drying. The dishes dry out due to natural physical processes - due to the temperature difference. This is the easiest option used in inexpensive dishwashers.
- Programs. There are from 5 to 9 programs. Including - intensive, allowing to wash the most difficult pollution.
- Timer. Thanks to him, the user can postpone washing for a period of 1 to 24 hours. There are PMMs in which the timer is designed for 3–9 hours.
