Dishwasher less than 59/60cm deep?

[caroline_venezia]

I see this question has been asked before; but it doesn’t seem to have received any positive answers apart from one recommending a machine by ISE which sadly has ceased trading. All the other replies go back some years so I’m hoping things may have moved on.

I’m looking for a freestanding dishwasher (standard height and ideally width) but don’t have room for the standard 59/60cm depth – I measured a couple which were 60cm deep in a local store and with the doors fully open. the length from front to back was 118/118.5cm. We only have 114cm from the wall to the unit opposite; so, assuming it would need at least a couple of centimetres of space behind for the pipes or whatever, by my calculations we need a dishwasher with a depth of no more than 54cm.

Does any such machine exist? I’m aware that built-in units are less deep but it seems, from looking at previous replies, that they would still be too deep once the door was attached.

Or – wild thought – are there any dishwashers which open differently, so they don’t need so much space in front?

Thanks very much.

Hi

Your best bet would be to fit an integrated dishwasher were depths are 54-55cm. You will need a decor door though. You should be able to find a door to match or be a close one from most good kitchen suppliers.

HTH 🙂

Thank you – but with the door, that would still be too deep, wouldn’t it?

It would be a better fit but yes the drop down door will still be the same depth. The only other option would be a dish drawer like the Fisher Paykel which will definitely be not as deep.
