Integrated Dishwashers
Fully integrated machines sit behind a door matching your kitchen, and there are semi-integrated, 45cm slimline, XXL and dish drawer options too.
Start with your kitchen door and the plinth beneath it, then compare capacity and features. Our guide below the products explains what to look for.

Integrated dishwashers by type
- Fully integrated, 60cm: the usual pick. The controls run along the top of the door and are hidden when it's shut.
- Semi-integrated: a control strip stays visible above your kitchen door, so you can use it without opening up.
- Slimline, 45cm: a narrower space with fewer place settings.
- Dish drawers: one or two drawers washing independently, behind fronts that match your units.
- XXL models: extra-height machines that suit raised worktops and big dinner plates.
Which type suits you?
| Dishwasher | Suits | Worth checking |
|---|---|---|
| Fully integrated, 60cm | Most kitchens, with the machine completely out of sight. | That your door falls within the height and weight limits. |
| Semi-integrated | Seeing the controls and remaining time with the door shut. | How the control panel's finish looks against your units. |
| Slimline, 45cm | Compact kitchens and one- or two-person homes. | Whether its capacity covers a day's washing-up. |
| XXL | Taller worktops and generous dinner plates. | The height beneath your worktop. |
| Dish drawers | Small loads, or two drawers on different cycles. | Matching drawer fronts, and room for one drawer or two. |
Making the choice
Capacity
Full-size integrated machines take roughly 12 to 16 place settings. A slimline works for one or two people; larger families should aim for 14 or more.
Extras worth having
Automatic dosing means no more reaching for a tablet each time. A third-level cutlery tray gives the bottom basket more space. A door that opens itself at the end helps everything dry. A rising lower basket saves your back, and connected models report progress to your phone.
Noise
The surrounding units soften the sound, but check the decibel rating if your kitchen is open plan or the dishwasher often runs in the evening.
Drying
Some machines nudge the door open as the cycle ends so steam escapes and the dishes dry in their own warmth. If you wash lots of plastic, which stays wet longest, look for this or a dedicated drying option.
Before you order
- Measure the space. Is it 60cm or 45cm wide? Measure the depth to the wall as well.
- Stay close to the sink. A space next to the sink keeps the water and waste runs simple.
- Know your water. In a hard-water area, set the softener on installation and keep the salt topped up for clear glasses.
- Check the handle. When the door drops, its handle mustn't catch on the worktop edge or neighbouring units.
How fitting works
- Door panel. Your kitchen door is screwed onto the dishwasher door, usually with the supplied template. The product page gives the height and weight limits.
- Plinth. It may have to be cut down to let the door fold fully open.
- Height. Standard machines suit most worktops, with adjustable feet for fine-tuning. XXL models need a taller space.
- Supplies. Cold feed, drain to a sink trap or standpipe, and a power point in the adjacent cupboard.

Integrated Dishwashers: your questions answered
Is a door supplied with an integrated dishwasher?
No. Your kitchen supplier provides a matching door, and it's screwed onto the dishwasher's own door.
Fully or semi-integrated: what's the difference?
Fully integrated machines are entirely hidden, with controls along the top of the door. Semi-integrated ones keep a control strip on show above the kitchen door.
Can I change from freestanding to integrated?
You'd need a proper housing beneath the worktop, plus a matching door. If you don't have those, another freestanding machine is the easier swap.
What does XXL mean?
A taller integrated machine for kitchens with higher worktops. The extra height gives more room for large plates and pans.
Will my current kitchen door fit?
Usually, as long as its height and weight fall inside the limits listed for the machine. The plinth may also need cutting.
Do I need dishwasher salt?
In hard-water areas, yes. Salt keeps the softener doing its job, so you avoid scale and smeary glasses. Dial in your local hardness during installation.
