Dishwasher sizes: how they affect the choice and installation

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:

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.

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.

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:
