Integrated Dishwasher
I'm ready to order my kitchen units.
I want to include an integrated dishwasher. My design allows for a 500mm wide unit for the dishwasher. It seems that most of the smaller dishwashers are 450mm wide but cabinets don't come 450mm wide and I haven't found a 500mm dishwasher. So is a 450mm dishwasher meant to go in a 500mm cabinet? mark |

If you can't find the extra 100mm from somewhere, you will need to get a 'slimline' 450mm unit and either shift your other units closer together or pad the gaps with some end panels or other features. Going for a 450mm dishwasher will limit your choice though - I'd suggest trying to find the extra 100mm if possible. Steve Steve |

I have a 450 DW, it's crap. In order to get 12 place servings in (who the **** has a family this size nowadays) the teeth in the plate rack are too close together and the water doesn't get in between the plates to wash them. I have to use alternative slots and have a half empty machine each time I use it. Instead of them designing an 8 place washer properly, they try for 12 and I ended up with a 6 place one. (It wasn't my choice, BTW) tim |

I've taken on board the size comments and it will be a 600mm. mark |
