Standard (60cm Width), slimline (45cm width) or compact: the dishwasher size you’ll need will depend on both the available space you have and the amount of people you live with.
Standard dishwasher
Plenty of space for plates, pots, cups and more. This is the right choice if you have a standard-size niche (60 cm wide, 81 cm high) in your kitchen. This option suits families with plenty of washing up to do, or likewise any smaller households who like to entertain.
Slimline dishwasher
Narrower than standard models, a 45-cm-wide dishwasher typically comes with all the bells and whistles of full-size versions just in a smaller form. As expected, this option may be best for 1-2 person households or those that are looking to maximise their kitchen space.
Compact dishwasher
Also refered to as a countertop model, a compact dishwasher is flexible, portable and ideal for small households with very limited space (45 cm high, 55 cm wide). Alternatively, you can opt for a compact dishwasher that's built in to your kitchen cabinet (45 cm high, 60 cm wide).
Always carefully measure from the floor to the bottom edge of your worktop before buying!
