Creating a harmonious kitchen space, we take into account every square centimeter, especially if the room is small. To rationally arrange all the equipment, you need to know exactly all its parameters. The dimensions of the dishwasher depend on its type. Consider them in detail in order to choose and install it correctly in the kitchen.
All household dishwashers are conditionally divided into two large groups: freestanding and built-in.
Built-in PMM dimensions
Trying to create a pleasant kitchen design, many users prefer built-in appliances. You can find options both with full embedding in furniture, and with partial embedding in a closet. Based on the size, built-in are further divided into three large groups:
- Full size, with a width of 55 to 65 cm, a depth of 54 to 63 cm and a height of 60 to 85 cm.
- Narrow, overall dimensions: width is only 44-45 cm, depth – 51-65 cm and height – 81-85 cm.
- Compact (small, mini), standard sizes range in height from 43,8 to 60 cm, width 54,5-60 cm and depth 49,5-60 cm.
Important! The height of built-in appliances is most often 83 cm – these are standard parameters for comfortable installation under most countertops.
Consider the main examples of the sizes of popular models in the table:
| Make and model | Embedding | Height in cm | Width in cm | Depth in cm | Capacity (in sets of dishes) | Cost in rubles (according to YandexMarket, October 2017) |
| Smeg STP364S | complete | 82 | 60 | 55 | 14 | 117 290 |
| Bosch SMV 23AX00 R | complete | 81,5 | 59,8 | 55 | 12 | 22 600 |
| Smeg PLA6442X2 | partial | 82 | 60 | 57 | 13 | 66 990 |
| AEG FSR 93800 P | complete | 81,8 | 59,6 | 55 | 13 | 100 400 |
| Asko D 5896 XXL | complete | 86 | 60 | 55 | 16 | 139 900 |
| Candy CDI 1L38 | complete | 82 | 60 | 55 | 13 | 21 000 |
| Bosch SMI 46IS09 E | partial | 81,5 | 59,8 | 57 | 13 | 47 390 |
In addition to the above three main groups, one cannot ignore the equipment, the dimensions of which are difficult to standardize. These are the PMMs:
- Kuppersbusch IGVS 6609.3. If it is standard in width and depth and is 60 and 55 cm, respectively, then the height of the case is significantly different: as much as 87 cm. Capacity – 13 crockery sets. The price is 160 rubles.
- Kuppersbusch IGS 6908.1 GE – a dishwasher with a standard width of 60 cm. The depth is 57 cm and the height is as much as 91 cm. Such parameters are reflected in the capacity: 14 sets. The cost is 76 rubles.
- Smeg STO905-1 – one of the most unusual models. WxDxH are: 85,9x55x57,8 cm. The hopper is designed for 12 sets of standard type dishes. The cost is 100 rubles.
- Samsung DW50H4050BB – a narrow fully built-in dishwasher, with body parameters: 45x65x82 cm. The tank is designed for 10 dish sets. The price is from 25 rubles.
You can learn more about the dimensions, features, advantages and disadvantages of such equipment from the review “Dimensions of built-in dishwashers”. Also, useful instructions from the pages will come to your aid: “How to choose a 45 cm dishwasher” and “How to choose a 60 cm dishwasher”.
Parameters of stationary PMM
Freestanding machines are represented by such brands as Bosch, Ariston, Indesit, Electrolux and many others. They can be easily divided into two main groups: floor and desktop. Like built-in, stationary PMM are divided into three types:
- full-size;
- narrow;
- compact.
The height of narrow and full-sized PMMs is slightly larger than similar built-in models – up to 95 cm, because they do not need to be built under the countertop. But if you want to place such a machine in a headset niche, you can find a model with a removable cover: a dishwasher 85 cm high easily “turns” into a model with a height of 83 cm.
Attention! The minimum and maximum installation dimensions of equipment can often be exaggerated or deliberately reduced in advertising. Therefore, always pay attention to the technical documentation, which accurately describes all the parameters of the case. Sometimes every centimeter is worth its weight in gold.
An important feature of stationary dishwashers: Bosch, Siemens, Kandy, Electrolux and Hansa are focused on consumers in the Russian Federation. At the same time, the dimensions of the equipment are unified, so they fit perfectly between furniture cabinets. And devices “Smeg”, “Kuppersbusch” or “Mile” are produced mainly for the European buyer, so their dimensions can differ significantly from the standard ones.
Consider the popular options for freestanding dishwashers in the table:
| Brand, model | WxDxH (in cm) | Hopper capacity (in sets) | A type | Cost (in rubles) |
| Discount KDF 60150 | × × 60 59,8 81,5 | 12 | Floor standing, full size | 19 990 |
| De’Longhi DDWS09F Ruby | 60x60x84,5 | 14 | Floor standing, full size | 30 990 |
| Siemens SR 26T897 | 45x60x85 | 10 | floor, narrow | 38 500 |
| Bosch SPS 53E06 | 45x60x85 | 9 | floor, narrow | 28 700 |
| Bosch SKS 40E22 | 55,1x50x45 | 6 | Desktop, compact | 19 300 |
| Electrolux ESF 9451 LOW | 45x62x85 | 9 | floor, narrow | 26 730 |
Flavia FS 60 ENZA 4.5 | 60x60x85 | 14 | Floor standing, full size | 25 000 |
What other solutions are there for a small kitchen? If the height of the kitchen drawer allows, some compact models can be successfully fitted under the sink: in this case, we are not talking about built-in, but about mini-stationary PMMs, which can simply be successfully hidden. At the same time, many installation subtleties can be avoided, because the equipment is not built into the cabinet, but simply placed. For example, you can buy a compact Candy CDCP 6/E for 6 sets, 55x50x43,8 cm in size and weighing 22,5 kg; install under the sink, hiding small appliances behind the wall of the facade.

Mini dishwashers
A few words about miniature models. Of course, finding a 30 or 40 cm option is unrealistic, although some manufacturers may loudly advertise products of this size. Do not flatter yourself: in the Russian market, the minimum width of the dishwasher is 44,5 cm.
And even with the minimum dimensions of one of the sides of the case, the machine itself can have quite impressive dimensions. Examples:
- Burn ME 5661 – it reaches only 40,4 cm in width, its depth is quite standard – 52 cm, and its height is only 53,5 cm. According to the latest data, it is not for sale on the domestic market.
- Elenberg DW-500 – the option with the smallest depth: only 45 cm. At the same time, the width of the compact model is 57 cm, and the height is 50 cm. Like the previous car, it is not for sale in the Russian Federation.
- Whirlpool ADG 1900 – fully built-in dishwasher with the smallest height (also not on the market): only 40,7 cm. The width of the dishwasher is 59,5 cm and the depth is 57 cm.
Take a look at a brief overview of the small models we found to find the best size for your kitchen:
- Discount KDF 2095 W – tank capacity: 6 sets, body dimensions: 55x50x44 cm. Electronic control, the highest classes of drying, washing and energy efficiency – A, 6 programs and the same number of temperature modes. The price is from 18 rubles.
- Flavia CI 55 HAVANA — a bunker for 6 sets, drying and washing classes — the highest, energy consumption — A+. Only 7 cycles and 5 temperature modes. The case has dimensions of 55x50x43,8 cm. The cost is from 14 rubles.
- Gorenje GVC 63115 – fully built-in PMM, designed for 6 sets of dishes. The functionality is provided by 6 programs and 6 temperature modes. Case parameters: 55x50x44 cm. Cost – from 20 rubles.

Now you know exactly what sizes of PMM are today. It remains to choose a specific model for a kitchen set, or vice versa – order a kitchen, taking into account the parameters of the PMM. We wish you a successful and balanced choice!
