A stove with a dishwasher sounds like a joke. But today, manufacturers of household appliances are creating the most daring combinations: not only gas stoves in tandem with PMM are on sale, but also ovens or triple options. They combine a stove and oven with a dishwasher.
You will learn from the review what the advantages and features of such combinations are. We will also look at popular models of “2-in-1” and “3-in-1” equipment and real user reviews about them.
Peculiarities
A small kitchen is a problem in many modern apartments. Every housewife wants her kitchen space to be equipped with the latest technology. This implies the presence of modern household appliances that greatly facilitate household chores.
A dishwasher and an oven can hardly surprise anyone now. This is more of a necessity and routine than a luxury. But, unfortunately, not everyone can place both of these devices in their kitchen due to limited free space. That is why designers are constantly improving household appliances, making them as spacious as possible without compromising their functionality.
A 2-in-1 dishwasher and oven have become a solution to the problem of free space for many housewives. This device looks as if the oven was divided in half. Thus, the dishwasher was located in the lower part, and the oven itself occupied the upper part. It is difficult to overestimate how much space you will save with this device.
There are also devices of this type three in one, they are often called a harmonious trio. In this case, the package also includes a hob, gas or electric.
Manufacturers' requirements for dishwasher placement
In the instructions for dishwashers, manufacturers usually indicate several general installation recommendations, namely:
- The dishwasher must not be installed close to other objects. It is necessary to maintain a distance of 40 cm so that there is a gap where air can circulate.
- The appliance must not be installed in the outermost compartment of a kitchen unit. It is necessary to fix the dishwasher evenly on both sides. For example, attach a set with rigid fastenings between the drawers.
- The machine should not be placed under a sink.
- It is not recommended to place the dishwasher near the stove or under the oven.
- It is prohibited to install a hob above the dishwasher, even if there is a heat-insulating backing.
Oven parameters
The static and very compact oven has a volume of thirty-nine liters and can turn off automatically, for which a special timer is provided.
The operating mode of the oven is provided by two simple heating elements. It is based on natural convection, which helps to perfectly cook meat and fish dishes and baked goods.
The operating mode of the oven is from 65 to 230 degrees. In addition, the oven has a grill that immediately starts working at maximum power. There is a slight limitation in the upper temperature threshold, but this is explained by the manufacturer’s characteristic care for the electronic part of the dishwasher. To fry a piece of meat or poultry, you can use a spit with simultaneous operation of heating elements or a grill.
To control the oven, there are a pair of control knobs - to select the operating mode and set the temperature value. The presence of a timer allows the oven to operate from one minute to two hours, then it automatically turns off.
Regarding the stove, it should be noted that this part does not require special care. To clean the oven, it is fashionable to use any dishwashing detergent. The legs of the stove are adjustable to the required height.
Advantages and disadvantages
Combined technology is a modern and quite successful solution that allows everyone, without exception, to enjoy all the benefits of civilization and save space. An electric stove combined with an oven and dishwasher has many advantages, including:
- Compactness. It is because of its compactness that many people choose this type of household appliance. You can save up to 50 cm of space.
- Functionality. One device amazingly combines two or three devices with different functions. If necessary, you can use each separately or all at the same time.
- Ease of control. Even a child can handle this type of technology. As a rule, the operating instructions are presented in a detailed overview with large drawings, where everything is clearly depicted. Many 3-in-1 range models have a remote control that starts the dishwasher.
- Durability. This clause is valid only if you purchase equipment in a trusted place from a trusted manufacturer. Practice shows that this type of household appliance does not require warranty service throughout its entire use.
- Stylish design. This point is also important, since the kitchen must be beautiful and harmonious, meeting all modern design standards.
Difficulties that arise when buying a combination dishwashing machine
By purchasing a stove combined with a dishwasher, you can save from sixty to eighty centimeters of free space. If the dishwasher stood next to the stove, then these two household devices would cover from one hundred and twenty centimeters to one and a half meters in width, but in our case we get one item, the width of which does not exceed 0.6 m. The benefit is obvious, but there are certain problems:
- price . A stove mounted with a dishwasher in one appliance costs the same as both elements taken separately;
- functionality . A stove, be it electric or gas, in combination with a dishwasher has certain functionality limitations. For example, a dishwashing machine can hold no more than eight sets. And you will install only one baking sheet in the stove. As you can see, for a decent price you don’t get very full functionality;
- communication lines . A stove combined with dishwashing equipment requires gas, electricity and water supply. In addition, you will have to provide an option for draining dirty water into the sewer. As you can see, the set is not the most secure;
- technical difficulties. There are a lot of parts in a combined device, breakdowns will require money, and routine maintenance will be expensive.
Characteristics of the Candy Trio dishwasher
The device has a dishwasher with a capacity of six place settings. But if you have to wash the pan, the number of plates loaded into the washing chamber decreases.
With a standard operating cycle, the machine consumes no more than nine liters of water, while consuming electricity within 0.75 kW per hour. The machine is equipped with five operating modes, which include pre-soaking and quick wash, intensive mode and eco, which helps to save energy. In addition, the manufacturer has provided the ability to select programs for washing dishes with varying degrees of soiling.
In terms of energy consumption, the machine belongs to group A and is fully protected from possible overflows. In addition, the device is equipped with a self-cleaning filter made of stainless steel material.
The stove has gained greater functionality due to its new capabilities. She was able to combine all the new products in the field of household appliances.
Problems of combined technology
Undoubtedly, by buying “two-in-one” or “all-in-one” appliances, you save from 60 to 80 cm of usable space in the kitchen. Where in the classic version it would take about one and a half meters, a dishwasher with other appliances in one housing will take only 60 cm.
Your benefit is obvious, but such a choice carries not only benefits, but also significant disadvantages:
- Price . A built-in stove with PMM will cost the same, if not more, than each piece of equipment separately. The price range of such dishwasher stoves is around 50,000–80,000 rubles.
- Functionality . If the hob in such models is full-fledged, then the dishwasher will pay for its capacity - no more than 6-8 sets of dishes will fit into its hopper. In the oven, as a rule, there is only one baking sheet. A modest result, considering the previous point.
- Connection . If you choose the option in which the dishwasher is combined with a gas stove, you will have to connect a lot of communications to one place: electricity, gas, make a water supply and provide drainage to the sewer. This option is not the safest in everyday life.
- Complexity of design . Judge for yourself how many parts and components there are in the appliance, which combines a hob, oven, and also a dishwasher. The complexity of the design increases the likelihood of breakdowns, and service in this case will be expensive. Another disadvantage associated with the design: if you need to take the appliance for service, you will simultaneously lose two or three important “helpers” in the kitchen.
On a note! The only plus is that, despite the non-standard “structure”, all structural elements consist of ordinary parts, so they can be repaired using ordinary tools and readily available analogue spare parts.
These are the main important points that you should know before purchasing a combined oven, stove and PMM from Kandy. If none of the listed disadvantages bother you, you can safely move on to selecting a suitable model.
Review of dishwashers combined with a stove
So far, the market has seen few combination models. This can easily be explained by the fact that manufacturers are just exploring this promising niche and studying the demand and purchasing power of the population. But there are already models on the Russian market that are worthy of attention. Let's look at them below.
Candy TRIO9501W
The manufacturer positions Candy Trio as a combined gas stove, complemented by a dishwasher. Model characteristics:
- 39 l electric oven with grill;
- gas stove with 4 burners;
- dishwasher for 6 sets, with 5 programs and the highest classes of washing and drying.
explains the convenience by the fact that all frequently used kitchen units are in close proximity to each other. The hob has electric ignition; the oven (if you remove the grill) can accommodate one baking sheet.
Dimensions of the equipment in height, width and depth: 86x60x60 cm. You can place other household appliances next to the dishwasher stove thanks to the reliable heat-insulating layer of the housing.
The operating mode of the dishwasher is record-breakingly quiet - only 39 dB. The equipment is also economical: the oven consumes 2 kW, PMM - 0.75 kW/h. Water consumption - 9 liters per washing cycle. White color opens up possibilities for sophisticated design solutions. The cost, according to YandexMarket, is 67,670 rubles and more.
The design of Candy Trio 9501W provides 4 heating elements with the following power:
- 3.5 kW;
- 2.5 kW;
- 1.7 kW;
- 1 kW.
Advantages of the model:
- saves usable kitchen space;
- easy to use;
- high quality washing;
- there is an “Express” mode for 32 minutes;
- saving resources.
Minuses:
- difficulty in connecting to gas, water and electricity;
- complexity of the design, heating elements are especially vulnerable;
- the capacity of the PMM is only 6 sets, which is not enough for a family of 3 people;
- one baking sheet in the oven;
- The hob does not have a lid, so for fire safety purposes you will have to install an apron made of metal and tiles at the back.
User reviews
Vitaly, Smolensk
Perfect for our small kitchen. The dishwasher is quiet, beeps when the wash is complete, and the choice of programs is intuitive. The downside is that it is overpriced. There are NO details on it in the Russian Federation and there were never any. A caveat: when heating, operating and cooling the oven, you need to open the dishwasher slightly. We've been using it for 4 years, the machine was the first to break down - the level sensor went off. The repair amount was announced to us - from 1,500 to 19,000 rubles, and we decided to get a new dishwasher.
Candy TRIO9503X
The combined electric stove with dishwasher “Trio” contains: a hob with a glass-ceramic work surface for 4 burners, an oven and a dishwasher. The design turned out to be quite impressive, its dimensions: 85x60x60 cm (HxWxD). The body color is silver. The characteristics of the oven and PMM are identical to the model described above.
Attention! Users are concerned that the vibrations of the dishwasher may negatively affect the operation of the glass-ceramic surface, which already requires careful handling. Experts confirm the validity of such fears.
The cost of the model starts from 71,900 rubles.

Galina, Minsk
Pretty good tile all in one. I didn’t like the touch handles (there is a small child in the house). Unfortunately, it is not possible to turn on the oven and the built-in dishwasher at the same time. Over time, the inscriptions on the tiles were erased. Otherwise, we are happy with the purchase - for a small apartment this is what you need.
Candy TRIO9501X
Another combined machine and tile. Included:
- gas surface;
- electric oven;
- PMM.
The manufacturer has also provided a metal apron that can be used to cover the stove.
Otherwise, the characteristics of the equipment are completely identical to the options discussed above.

I'll start with the good. What I liked:
- Saves space in a small kitchen. In my 5-meter Khrushchev it became a salvation.
- Easy to connect.
- Working for 5 years.
- Accessories for the stove are dishwasher safe.
- A metal surface with not a single scratch on it.
- The dishwasher has a mesh that collects scraps of food, so you don’t have to clean the plates first. But then you need to clean the mesh - it’s easier.
- Baking cabinet with timer, spit (!) and lighting.
Now some comments (not cons, but nuances):
- You have to choose between using the oven or the dishwasher.
- When baking something, you need to open the machine door, otherwise the buttons will melt from the high temperature.
- Requires grounding (old house, we don’t have this, especially on the 5th floor).
- Strange timer - only for 10 minutes.
Let me summarize. I'm happy with the purchase. Especially a dishwasher - I’ve dreamed of it since childhood, when I didn’t know they existed))) The small capacity of the machine doesn’t disappoint, but we don’t accumulate mountains of dishes. We use it twice a day. Overall, my rating is 9 out of 10.
Candy DUO 609 X
This is an oven combined with a PMM, without a hob.
Characteristics:
- Volume 39 liters.
- Energy efficiency class - A.
- Electric oven, independent.
- Dimensions: 90x59.6x57 cm (HxWxD).
The oven has 5 heating modes, electric grill and convection. Controlled by touch switches, built-in timer. There is a fan, additionally: backlight, locking against accidental pressing and emergency shutdown.
The PMM is equipped with 6 programs and 4 temperature modes. Drying and washing classes are the highest. Water consumption - 9 liters per washing cycle. There is a rinse.
The cost of “Candy Duo” is from 83,990 rubles.
Consumer Reviews
SimOn
I bought it for its compactness for a rented apartment. I don't like the noise. So far there have been 3 launches of the dishwasher, one of them is a test. The noise is only at the end of the cycle, most likely the pump is running. It is noisy only in rinsing mode.
As you can see, the combined technique is special and requires a special approach. Buyers appreciated it for its compactness and versatility, and did not consider its shortcomings so important as to refuse the purchase. If your priority is to save every square centimeter in your kitchen space, Kandy “Duo” or “Trio” will be an excellent purchase.

I use Candy TRIO 9503 X. The hybrid of devices is simply wonderful. For several years I thought about how to place all the necessary household devices in my small kitchen to make my own work easier. Now the problem is completely solved, life is filled with comfort. I'm single and don't need a big dishwasher. It became convenient to cook on the stove - you leaned over, and the dirty dishes went into the washing compartment located nearby.
Victor Ivanovich, Saratov
Before I had time to purchase and install the Candy TRIO 9501 X, the combine broke down three months later - the dishwasher failed. The service warranty period has not yet expired, but the service has not yet fixed the problem. It’s annoying that I paid a decent amount of money for this equipment, which broke down very quickly, and the technicians still don’t really understand repairs. I note that I identified another problem, which I reported to the repair center. True, it was never eliminated. The fact is that the electric ignition did not work immediately, and the toggle switch had to be turned several times. There is only one conclusion - it is not worth purchasing the money that the manufacturer asks for it.
Veronika Sergeevna, Khabarovsk
Not long ago I purchased a Candy TRIO 9503 X. The stove is magical, I didn’t even have time to see the equipment in the store when I immediately decided to buy it. Now the unit is in its place, saving great kitchen space. There is everything you need - oven, stove, dishwasher. In my opinion, the oven could have been made more spacious by increasing the height of the device. But everything is just fine!
Candy modifications
- Candy TRIO 9503 X
– the model is represented by an electric stove, consisting of a four-burner hob and an electric oven, under which there is a dishwasher. The manufacturer was able to combine the entire listed set into a single heavy structure, the height, width and depth of which are 85 by 60 by 60 cm, respectively. All characteristics of the oven and dishwashing machine are completely the same as the Candy TRIO 9501 W , only the hob is made of glass ceramics, so you will have to comply with certain requirements during operation so as not to spoil its surface; - Candy TRIO 9501 X
- a combined version of a gas-powered stove with an oven and a dishwasher. The stove panel has four burners, next to it there is an oven with a built-in dishwasher. The main difference from Candy TRIO 9501 W is the silver color of the body and the metal protective apron covering the stove.
