To find a dishwasher that best suits your needs, consider the style and layout of your kitchen. This helpful guide answers some common questions and explains all the different types, sizes and features available to you.

Types of dishwashers

What is a fully integrated dishwasher?

A fully integrated dishwasher (or built-in dishwasher) is permanently installed, with a front panel that matches your kitchen cabinets. This type of dishwasher is practically invisible, offering a sleek look that matches your kitchen design. The control panel on the top edge of the door is only visible when you open the dishwasher.

What is a semi-integrated dishwasher?

A semi-integrated dishwasher is designed to be almost completely hidden by your kitchen cabinet. Only the top control panel is visible, while the rest is behind the unit for a seamless look.

What is a built-under dishwasher?

A built-under dishwasher (also known as an under-sink dishwasher or under-counter dishwasher) fits conveniently under your worktop. They are quick and easy to install in the space and are eye-catching with their own modern design.
