Freestanding full size dishwasher with a depth less than 60 cm

[turnyourtvoff]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could please help us source a full size freestanding dishwasher with a depth of 57 or 58 cm depending on how generous the recess/overhang is at the back. The dishwasher should also be flat at the front no concave door or sticking out handles.

The issue we have is with the kitchen layout, the dishwasher is near the corner and if the dishwasher sticks out we are unable open the adjacent drawers.

We have Kenwood KDW60B13 in place but it’s been fixed once and is malfunctioning again so it is time to replace it. Unfortunately this model is no longer available.

Preferably we would like silver or black but open to options as long as it fits. Re-arranging the kitchen is not an option.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thank you

You are not going to get a freestanding dishwasher at 58cm again. The reason being that the place settings have increased over the last few years so every little bit of the 60cm depth is needed. The current crop of Kenwood are 66cm deep!!

The only you will get a full size machine in is to go integrated which are on average 55cm deep but you will need to get a cosmetic door to match your cupboards and the plinth will need adding to.

Thank you for your reply and information. We didn’t know that.

We have found a Gorenje dishwasher that has 58 depth.

Gorenje GS62010SUK 12 Place Freestanding Dishwasher – Silver:
Product Dimensions: (H)850mm x (W)600mm x (D)580mm

We had contemplated an integrated or semi integrated too; but this also require panel, plinth and handle installation. We would probably just assume the contrast here as matching our existing kitchen would be near impossible.

Do you have to cut panels to size for semi integrated dishwashers or are pre cut panels available?

Thank you

All kitchen suppliers can source either door panels which come made ready to fit. Along with the likes of B & Q and Wickes who maybe a tad cheaper. DO NOT go for semi integrated as all but a couple of manufacturers have now discontinued them. Fully integrated is much more available and the price is also cheaper.

Thank you for the advice. We are going for a fully integrated one. I am little scared of fitting the decorative door panel though.

If you are DIY minded then you can achieve it. The instructions on most dishwashers are quite detailed. If all else fails then a kitchen fitter is required.
