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Despite the fact that now this GOST is no longer in force, you can still rely on these dimensions.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
PMMs from 60 cm and wider are called large-sized. Moreover, 70 cm is far from the largest size. In the household departments of hypermarkets, they even display models with an 85-centimeter width - non-mass-produced devices. Wide machines can accommodate up to 20 sets of dishes. For a family of 5-6 people, full-sized PMMs are usually enough, but large ones are suitable if they do not take up too much free space. Before you buy something from the large-size line, you need to allocate space for equipment. Dishwashers are installed not only in kitchens, but also in bathrooms and dead-end rooms. Large-sized models can hold more dishes, although the stated capacity may be the same as simple full-size machines. Extra large devices handle pots and pans much easier.
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+++.

Full size devices
Full-size cars are the most spacious. Up to 15 sets of dishes are washed in one cycle. Their dimensions depend on the type of installation. The size of a non-built-in model can reach 85 cm in height and a depth of up to 62.5 cm. The most common width is 60 cm.
The water consumption per program in such machines is greater than in compact and narrow ones, so it is advisable to fill it with dishes to the maximum.
Important! The standard dimensions of a dishwasher from different manufacturers may differ by 1.5-2 cm. You can familiarize yourself with its dimensions on household appliances websites or immediately before purchasing in a store.
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.
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.
Types of dishwashers by size
Based on the sizes, there are:
- full size;
- narrow;
- compact.
Each case needs its own option. In restaurants with a large flow of customers, dozens of sets need to be washed at a time. On private property we are talking about 15-20 plates over several days. Unlike ovens, dishwashers do not have the same standard sizes. The height from the floor of tall full-size and narrow models is 818-898 mm. The depth of traditional options is 570-600 mm, which is ideal for the lower tier of the kitchen. Some compact modifications are only 450 mm deep or less. The dishwasher base is quite high - 120-190 mm. The highest variations are nineteen centimeters - about 97 cm. The lowest models of the compact type are below the level of 45 cm. They are placed anywhere: under the table, on it, in small recesses and in free space. The width of dishwashers is 30-65 cm. A family of 2-4 people does not need to buy full-sized machines.
For private houses with two kitchens, it is better to purchase not two full-size dishwashers, but one with an increased width.
Full size
Such machines are suitable for large families and large kitchens, as well as for restaurants. Full-size models are 59.5–60 cm wide, 56–63 cm deep and 81–85 cm high. The standard size parameter is 60x60x85 cm. Full-size dishwashers are designed for a large volume of dishes, up to 14 sets. Large capacity reduces the total number of PMM operating sessions and significantly reduces the need for manual washing. Positive qualities are complemented by energy savings with high efficiency and volume of work. Owners of small kitchens, unfortunately, are deprived of such opportunities. In tight spaces, full-size PM machines are replaced with standard 45-centimeter models. For some housewives, a full-sized PMM is a serious hindrance. You can make work in the kitchen easier by removing the dishwasher altogether.
Narrow
This is the name for models with a width of 40 to 45 cm. Equipment with a 45-centimeter width is capable of washing 8-9 sets of dishes at a time. The depth of the units coincides with that of full-size modifications. The height of narrow dishwashing machines reaches 85 cm, as is the case with full-sized ones. The general functionality of the narrow options is also in no way inferior. In Russia they mainly sell 45 cm models, but 40 cm ones have to be ordered. A less capacious device will then cost more. Narrow models look best with furniture sets. Among the many narrow dishwashers, designer options are often found. They are easy to use and maintain, and by definition make less noise than larger models. The problem with some narrow PMMs is that they cannot be placed under the tabletop due to their height, but in this case a lot depends on the height of the table/cabinet itself.
Compact
The third subspecies in terms of size characteristics is compact. The configuration of these dishwashers comes with a small width - 35 cm or less with a depth of up to 60 cm, as well as with a small depth - up to 45 cm with a width of 40 cm to 60 cm. The height of compact variations rarely exceeds 50 cm, standard models have 44-45 cm in height. Considering all the functions of small dishwashers and the typical amount of dishes that accumulate over several days, this is a viable option for most cases. If necessary, compact PMMs are installed on the table. In addition, they are easily mounted in wall niches and specially designed furniture sections. The won space is filled with other kitchen appliances. Compact PMMs are suitable for washing all types of dishes. Well, the main advantage is the opportunity to save money.
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.
