Built-in dishwashers are the best choice for anyone who wants to make their kitchen not only functional, but also stylish, with the least amount of time and effort.
Hidden behind a decorative door, the machine is practically invisible, and its efficiency, chamber volume and other parameters are not only not inferior to free-standing ones, but often surpass them.
In the Hausdorf online store, customers can choose a premium model for both spacious and small kitchens.
Standard sizes of built-in dishwashers
When built-in appliances were just coming into everyday use, GOST was adopted, which determined the standard dimensions of built-in dishwashers.
According to it, the minimum height of the dishwasher had to be 81.5 cm, width - 59 cm, and depth - 54 cm. The distance from the sink to the wall was regulated - 50 mm, as well as the length of the inlet and drain hose (1.5 and 1. 3 meters respectively) and cable length - 2 m.
Despite the fact that now this GOST is no longer in force, you can still rely on these dimensions.
All fully built-in units can be divided into 3 groups according to their dimensions:
- full size,
- narrow,
- compact.
Large dishwashers
This type includes machines whose size is 60 cm. However, not everyone knows that there are devices that have much larger dimensions. For example, you can find dishwashing machines in the sales department, the width of which reaches 86 cm. Such devices are still unprofessional.
They are distinguished from others by the presence of low, but wide compartments, which are suitable for non-standard kitchens. The approximate height of such a piece of equipment is 58-60 cm, and the depth is 55 cm. But finding the item in question on sale is not always easy.
The capacity of the dishwasher is selected based on the size of the family and the number of daily meals.
Dishwasher size differences affect many aspects of their functionality. The first indicator is capacity. The smallest units can simultaneously accommodate from 6 to 8 dishwashers (compact under-sink dishwashers or countertop models). Another type is narrow machines 45 cm wide, loaded with 12-14 sets. As for wide devices, they can fit up to 17 sets.
Helpful information ! Thus, a compact dishwasher is suitable for a family of 2 people. Reviews about such devices are mostly positive. If your family consists of 3 to 6 people, then you can take a closer look at both standard and narrow machines, and wide ones that can accommodate 10-12 sets.
When choosing a dishwashing appliance, you should make sure that it fits well in the space provided for it. It is worth paying attention to the fact that with the same declared capacity, more items can be loaded into a wide dishwasher. For example, it is more suitable than all other devices for washing pans and pots. All this can be done in a narrow car, but more effort is required.
There are, although rarely, large-sized dishwashers on sale up to 86 cm wide
Dimensions of full-size built-in dishwashers
Full-size fully built-in PMMs can accommodate from 12 to 17 sets of dishes, each of which consists of 6-8 items: plates for soup and main course, saucer with cup, spoon and fork. This capacity is suitable for a large family, especially with small children.
Standard sizes are:
- height - from 81.5 to 82 cm - it is enough for the machine to fit under an 85 cm tabletop;
- width - 55 cm, so they fit freely in a cabinet 60 cm wide;
- depth - from 59.5 to 60 cm.
All devices are equipped with a large set of auto programs, electronic control, reliable protection against leaks, and have several baskets for dishes and cutlery. One of the most spacious and inexpensive Gorenje GV66260 machines, for example, has TotalDry dryers, which allows you to get shiny, dry and cool dishes, as well as energy efficiency class A+++.

Common sizes of built-in dishwashers
The dimensions of modern dishwashers from different manufacturers are approximately the same. They are:
- Height – 82 cm.
- Depth – 55 cm.
By width they are divided into two types:
- Narrow – 45 cm.
- Full size – 60 cm.
These parameters are the most common, but sometimes you can find models on sale whose dimensions go beyond them. A narrow dishwasher can be 44.8 or 46.6 cm wide. However, its height and depth are often greater than those of a full-size dishwasher, and can reach 85 cm and 57.3 cm, respectively. Most often they are built under the table top.
Full-size models are 56.8-56.9 cm wide, height can be 81.5-85 cm, depth - up to 62 cm.
Dimensions of narrow built-in dishwashers
Narrow built-in models, designed for 9-10 place settings, can be considered the most versatile. They are suitable for both families and singles due to their affordable price, good capacity and low consumption of water and electricity.
Standard sizes of narrow machines:
- height - from 81.5 to 82 cm,
- width - from 54 to 55 cm,
- depth - from 44 to 45 cm.
Thus, the Maunfeld MLP 08 iN model can accommodate 10 place settings, and the number of standard programs reaches 9. The large elegant handle on its facade attracts attention.
Dishwasher sizes: types of PMM by size
Today there are 3 main types of dishwashers depending on size. The dimensions of these devices affect the features of their installation, so it is very important to choose the right dishwasher that fits a specific kitchen set. Let's consider what types of machines are found on the modern household appliances market:
- full size;
The main advantage of a compact dishwasher is the ability to place it almost anywhere in the kitchen
- narrow;
- compact.
The height of full-size devices ranges from 82 to 97 cm. Their minimum width is 55 and maximum 60 cm. Another important geometric indicator is the depth of dishwashers. For full-size devices, it varies from 55 to 60 cm. These units allow you to wash up to 14 sets of dirty dishes at a time.
Narrow dishwashers have the same parameters and differ only in width (45-54 cm). The capacity of these devices is smaller, but they are able to satisfy the needs of a small family of 2-4 people. Narrow units allow you to wash up to 10 sets of dishes at a time. If necessary, you can buy the narrowest model, the width of which is only 44.5 cm.
Compact dishwashers are the smallest and in most cases are installed on the table. However, there are models that are placed on the floor. The height of small PMMs ranges from 44 to 65 cm. The width of such devices is 50-60, and the depth does not exceed 55 cm.
The dimensions of dishwashers directly depend on their performance, or more precisely, on the possible load volume
The capacity of compact devices corresponds to their name (up to 7 sets of dishes). The smallest dishwashers are suitable for single people or couples without children.
Note! When choosing a dishwasher, you need to make sure that its dimensions are slightly smaller than the free space allocated for its installation. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the unit simply will not fit into the niche.
And also when selecting the size of the PMM, you should take into account the distance that the plinth occupies. Sometimes owners forget about this, and as a result the unit protrudes beyond the furniture.
Dimensions of compact built-in dishwashers
Compact built-in models are even more affordable. Their capacity is quite large - 6 sets of dishes. The height is from 43 to 45 cm, the width is 55 cm, and the depth is from 49 to 51 cm.
Such devices are intended for small families and single people. They can easily accommodate pots and pans and also have a shelf for cutlery. They can be installed under the sink or in a kitchen niche.
Thus, the Maunfeld MLP 06IM model has 6 washing modes and a closed electronic touch control panel. It allows the start to be delayed by 24 hours.
Another compact machine, Electrolux ESL2450W with turbo dryer, is equipped with 4 standard programs. Its noise level is only 45 dB.
Features of models with an open control panel
In addition to fully built-in ones, we offer partially built-in dishwashers without a decorative panel on the facade and machines with an open control panel.
This design is very convenient, since you do not need to open the door to access the controls. On the other hand, it requires a lot of effort in selecting a model in accordance with the style of the kitchen. The dimensions of these machines may differ slightly from the corresponding parameters of fully built-in equipment.
The full-size partially built-in model Smeg ST2FABRD, for example, has a convex red front panel in the retro style of the 50s and, due to this, a large depth of 63 cm. The height of the full-size model Kuppersbusch IGS 6908.0 GE is slightly larger than the standard one and is equal to 85.8 cm, and the stylish black control panel is suitable for both modern and classic kitchens.
Requirements for furniture for installing PMM
Experts recommend equipping a kitchen, starting with choosing appliances, and then ordering cabinets, cabinets, and countertops to suit its dimensions. If this option is not possible, you need to measure the height, width and depth of the future location as accurately as possible:
- the gap between the walls of the niche and the machine must be at least 5 mm;
- there should be free space in front of the niche to open the door;
- it is necessary to take into account the thickness and shape of the decorative panel on the facade;
- If a podium or plinth is provided, it must be able to easily support the weight of the device.
Built-in dishwashers may have adjustable legs that allow you to change their height. They are also equipped with special fasteners for embedding, handles, frames and other decorative elements.
All models from our catalog are accompanied by detailed instructions and installation diagrams indicating all sizes and appliances and kitchen furniture.

Tips for buying an embedded machine
If you decide to purchase a built-in dishwasher, its dimensions will be of great importance to you. Often every millimeter plays a role: if the dishwasher does not fit the furniture, you will not be able to install it correctly, or the cabinet doors will not close tightly.
To avoid this, make sure that the dimensions provided by sellers are correct. Often on price tags these parameters are rounded, and exact data can only be found from the technical data sheet.
Please note that the standard height of the dishwasher can be adjusted using screw supports. Thanks to this, it is possible to integrate the equipment in such a way that it exactly matches the height of the furniture set. When purchasing, consider not only the dimensions of the equipment itself, but also the size of the hose with which it will be connected to the sewer system.
