Abstract

Abstract Automatic dishwashing has been optimised in manifold ways during the last decades: new dishwashing devices (e.g. optimised for best class in energy labelling) and innovative dishwashing detergents (e.g. with advanced enzyme technologies). However, the usage of the automatic dishwasher in consumers’ home may not be adequate to gain all the benefits from these developments. Little is known about the actual consumer behaviour with automatic dishwashing. This was tried to solve by performing a survey on the consumer behaviour on automatic dishwashing in Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Hungary and Turkey covering large parts of Europe. The results show that the ‘eco’-programme is getting more importance in programme selection. However, feedback on the soil level of the dish items put into this programme and the observed duration of the programme show that the potential of the ‘eco’-programme is not fully utilised by consumers. Besides this, the survey delivers relevant details on differences which may help to understand the needs and wishes of consumers in those countries.

探索消费者在自动洗碗中的行为：对六个欧洲国家电器使用情况的定量调查

摘要在过去的几十年里，自动洗碗在多种方面得到了优化：新的洗碗设备（例如，针对最佳能源标签进行了优化）和创新的洗碗洗涤剂（例如，采用先进的酶技术）。然而，在消费者家中使用自动洗碗机可能不足以从这些发展中获得所有好处。人们对自动洗碗的实际消费者行为知之甚少。试图通过对德国、意大利、西班牙、波兰、匈牙利和土耳其的消费者自动洗碗行为进行调查来解决这一问题，该调查覆盖了欧洲大部分地区。结果表明，“生态”方案在方案选择中的重要性日益突出。然而，对该计划中菜肴的土壤水平和观察到的计划持续时间的反馈表明，消费者没有充分利用“生态”计划的潜力。除此之外，该调查还提供了有关差异的详细信息，这可能有助于了解这些国家消费者的需求和愿望。
