An overview of the existing sizes of dishwashers

Modern kitchen, as a rule, is equipped with various household appliances. It is difficult to imagine a house without an electric kettle, coffee maker, microwave or washing machine, which often stand in the kitchen. Not to mention a variety of small partings. Installing a dishwasher will require additional space, which may be limited. Leading home appliance manufacturers have taken good care of their customers and developed various models: from compact desktop to full-size. The dimensions of dishwashers are directly dependent on their performance, and more precisely, on the possible load capacity. Naturally, the more a machine can hold dishes, the greater its external parameters.

Parameters of compact models

Compact desktop machines in functionality are not significantly different from larger ones and fully confirm their name in dimensions. Monitoring has shown that the vast majority of such devices have similar external dimensions, width and depth are standard: 55x50 cm, and height rarely exceeds 44 cm.

Infrequently, but there are modifications with a height of 60 cm.

Small-sized models of dishwashers slightly exceed the size of a conventional microwave oven, in addition, they are mobile. If necessary, the dishwasher can be disconnected from the communications and move. The modest size of the machine allows you to install it in confined spaces, and productivity is enough for a small family of two people.

Another advantage of small dishwashers is their cost effectiveness. Due to the small size and small capacity, their cost is an order of magnitude more affordable than all other versions. Such equipment will be consumed 1.5-2 times less water than a large full-size model - from 6 to 10 liters per cycle, and consumes a little more than 500W per hour.

Separately standing floor machines

Outdoor dishwashers are available in various versions, they can be narrow or full size.

1. Narrow stand-alone dishwashers are produced in standard widths - 45 cm. Depth varies from 57 cm to 62 cm, and height is 85 cm.
2. Full-size cars are somewhat larger, their width is usually 60 cm, the depth is in the range from 55 cm to 60 cm, and the height is similar to narrow - 85 cm.

It should be noted that depth for narrow or full-size devices it is always about the same: from 55 cm to 60 cm. This is due to the fact that standard kitchen furniture has similar dimensions, and the dishwasher located near the kitchen table will not stand out from the overall composition.

For ease of use you can think of some details. For example, if the machine is operated mechanically, that is, there are handles on the surface of the panel, you can choose a model with a depth reduced by a couple of centimeters. Then the control knobs will not stand for the general line of kitchen furniture and will not create inconvenience.

Due to the large size relative to the desktop, such devices allow you to wash a greater number of dishes per cycle.Consequently, they have higher expenditure rates. water and electricity. Up to 8 sets of dishes can be loaded into narrow models, and the maximum consumption of cold water will not exceed 10 liters per wash cycle. Full-size machines are more productive, such a dishwasher has an average capacity of 14 sets, and spends up to 14 liters of cold water.
