Why do I need to know the size of the dishwasher purchased? The question remains unclear if the kitchen is large, do not hide it in a cupboard or under the sink. But in those cases when two people can hardly stretch out in the kitchen - saving space becomes an urgent issue. The article will give a general classification of PMM in size, including among various leading manufacturers.
Built-in dishwasher size
They try to adapt modern technology for the convenience of users to the average human proportions, for which manufacturers conduct a number of studies. Also important is how the technique fits into the interior of the kitchen. The main parameters in determining the dimensions of the PMM are:
- location in the kitchen interior from an aesthetic point of view;
- distance from the sink;
- volume of occupied space;
- convenience of location.
By dimensions, dishwashers are divided into three main classes:
- standard, or full-sized - in width are from 55 to 65 cm. Height varies from 65 to 85, and depth - 54-63 cm, respectively.
- compact - 55-60 cm wide, height 44-60, depth from 50 to 60 cm;
- narrow - about 45 cm wide, 81-85 in height, 51-65 cm in depth.
There are also a number of non-standard machines that do not fall into this classification.
Important! Most built-in machines are 830 mm high.
Varieties of built-in dishwashers according to their dimensions
What sizes are standard PMM
For a large family, or in families that often receive a lot of guests, there is a need to wash dishes in large quantities (up to 12 sets). Standard devices are usually installed under the countertop. With the help of height-adjustable legs, the size of the dishwasher can be adjusted to the working surface.
The standard dimensions of PMM for most manufacturers are as follows:
- width 598 mm;
- height from 815 to 875 mm;
- depth 550 mm.
What sizes are narrow dishwashers
With limited space in the kitchen, narrow PMMs are often used. They are intended, as well as standard ones, for installation under the countertop, and are also height-adjustable using legs. By performance, they are somewhat inferior to the standard. The dimensions of narrow PMMs, as a rule, are as follows:
- width 448 mm;
- height from 815 to 875 mm;
- depth 550 mm.
Thus, the dimensions, with the exception of the width, coincide with the standard.
What sizes are compact dishwashers
Compact PMMs can be either built-in under a countertop, in a cabinet or under a sink, or used in a desktop or portable version. Of course, their performance is much lower than that of standard and narrow models. There are two main standards of dimensions for compact PMM: the first - width 454 mm, height 595 mm, depth 500 mm; the second is different in width - 595 millimeters, the remaining sizes are identical.
What sizes are popular models of built-in dishwashers
Below are the dimensions of embedded PMMs that have won user recognition in the domestic market.
Model name | WxHxD |
Bosch Serie 4 SMV 44KX00 R 59 | 8x81.5x55 |

Sizes of custom dishwashers
Here is, first of all, a list of manufacturers that adhere to domestic standards and are guided by the Russian market. These are Siemens, Hansa, Candy, Electrolux and Bosch. Product dimensions of the listed companies fit into the standards given in the article. The products of Kuppersbusch, Miele, Smeg can significantly differ in size from the standard, so you should immediately specify the parameters of the purchased product. Here are an example of the dimensions of some non-standard models:
Model name | WxHxD |
Kuppersbusch IGVS 6609 | 60x87x55 |
Kuppersbusch IGS 6908.1 GE | 60x91x57 |
Smeg STO905-1 | 86x58x55 |
Samsung DW50H4050BB | 45x82x65 |
In addition to dimensions, there are many parameters that differ markedly between different PMM models. These include:
- power consumption, as well as the efficiency of the device;
- number of operating modes;
- the level of noise produced (ideally should not exceed 40-45 decibels) - this parameter is very important when buying an economy-class dishwasher, where the noise reduction system is usually a weak point;
- drying and heat exchange system;
- loading chamber capacity - determines the amount of dishes that can be washed in one cycle. For standard PMM, this parameter is 12-15 sets, for small machines - at least 5;
- device safety class;
- manufacturer's warranty.
When choosing to purchase a dishwasher of a particular company, you should study not only its dimensions, but also the above parameters in order to choose exactly what the soul wants.
