How tall are dishwashers?

The dimensions of the dishwasher play a big role in the manufacture of kitchen furniture. It is important to know not only the width and depth of the niche into which the dishwasher will fit, but also the height. Some people think that all dishwashers are identical in height, with the exception of tabletop models; no matter whether it is built-in or not, it will easily fit under a standard countertop. But everything is completely different, so let’s see how tall a dishwasher can be.

Tall dishwashers

All dishwashers from 61 to 85 cm can be called tall. There are both built-in models of such equipment and free-standing ones. In most cases, built-in dishwashers are 2-3 cm lower than freestanding ones, this is due to the lack of a top cover. Some people, without thinking about the height of the machine, take a freestanding model, and then think about how to squeeze it under the tabletop. It’s good if it is possible to remove the top cover, which can save the situation, and even then not always, but if the cover cannot be removed, then what?

That’s why it’s worth figuring out what height dishwashers are on sale and not relying on luck. We started our search with dishwashers with a height of 61 to 70 cm. The result showed that there were no such machines for sale on the Russian market as of May 2016.

However, in principle, there was only one dishwasher on sale; perhaps you could buy such a machine in stores abroad. This is a German-assembled AEG F 84980 VI dishwasher. It differs from many machines in that it is very wide, almost 90 cm, while the height is 70 cm and the depth is 58 cm. The dishwasher is non-standard, can accommodate up to 12 sets of dishes and has a turbo dryer.It works quite quietly and can be built into furniture.

Next, we looked for dishwashers with a height of more than 70 cm, but less than 80. They are also not on sale It turned out, however, they exist, perhaps someone has just such a dishwasher. Let's give a few examples; perhaps you will find such a model in some store.

The tallest dishwashers

The tallest dishwashers range from 86 to 91 cm in height. For example, Dishwashers with a height of 86 cm belong to the premium class, their cost ranges from $900 to $1,700. They offer impressive performance, reduced water consumption and low noise levels. These are dishwashers of the following brands:

Dishwashers with a height of 87 cm are represented by only two companies: Kuppersbusch and Gaggenau. Dishwashers with a height of 89 cm are presented for sale by Smeg, this is a collection of colored machines in pink, blue, white, black, orange and beige.. Not long ago, Hansa and Imperial had dishwashers with a height of 89 cm. Only a couple of dishwasher models we found have a height of 91 cm. These are luxury dishwashers from Kuppersbusch.

Note! Dishwashers with a height of 88 and 90 cm are not available for sale; such machines were on the market, these were models under the brands AEG, Candy, Hotpoint-Ariston, Miele, Wellton.

Height of compact dishwashers

And finally, it remains to find out what is the height of compact dishwashers, most of which are tabletop.These dishwashers are popular among bachelors and small families, and they fit perfectly in a small kitchen. Moreover, such machines are often placed not on the table, but under the sink in the sink. In this case, the height of the unit is of particular importance, because it is necessary that there is enough space not only for the machine, but also for the siphon.

So, compact dishwashers have a height of 40.7 to 60 cm. The lowest dishwasher The machine is manufactured by Whirlpool ADG 1900; it is not available today. With a height of 40.7 cm, its width is 60 cm, and its depth is 57 cm. There is a dishwasher model on sale slightly higher than this one, its height is 43.8 cm - this is the Flavia CI 55 HAVANA dishwasher.

There are a lot of dishwashers with a height of 44-45 cm. These are dishwashers from the brands Bosch, Hotpoint-Ariston, Candy, Korting, Indesit, Electrolux. There are very few dishwashers with a height of 46 - 49 cm. These are mainly models of machines from little-known brands, such as Beltratto, Foster, Baumatic, Mabe, Elenberg.

Dishwashers with a height in the range from 50 to 55 cm can be said to be absent; the only representative is the NEFF S66M64N3 dishwasher, its height is 50, width is 60 cm, and depth is 59 cm.

For your information! We did not find any dishwashers with a height of 56 and 57 cm; most likely, they simply do not exist.

The Italian premium dishwasher Smeg STO905-1 seemed unusual; it not only has a non-standard height of 58 cm, but also its width is 86 cm, which is rare. There is a small selection of dishwashers with a height of 60 cm; these are machines from Bosch and Ginzzu.

Thus, the height of the dishwasher can vary from 44 to 91 cm.Mainly, in pursuit of centimeters, do not forget about the capacity of a low dishwasher. Maybe it’s worth looking for a place for a larger machine rather than regretting buying a small one later. Good luck with your choice!
