Integrated kitchen appliances are they all std size ?

Just wondering if all integrated kitchen appliances are a standard size. My daughter wants to replace her integrated fridge freezer with a tall larder size fridge, we just don't want to make an expensive mistake and order something that won't fit into the housing. Her integrated zanussi dishwasher has broken down and needs replacing also. Probably ordering online will work out cheaper. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    I don't know whether they all are - I would suggest measuring the existing one, and if possible, also looking up the make and model of her current appliances and checking this against the specs of the one she is thinking of buying.

    I have recently moved into a house which has (poor quality!) integrated appliances. I have been able to remove the integrated dishwasher and put mine in instead, however I will not be able to do the same with the fridge freezer as the existing one is narrower than mine.

    Sadly not so I agree with TBagpuss and measure it and look up the manual online of your current one. We had the same problem with a dishwasher in our kitchen, and in the end could only find one that fitted the space (for us depth was the most annoying thing).

    Also, even if you buy online, go round currys/ john Lewis and measure up the real things you want to replace with. We did that and then purchased using appliances online (boots do appliances too oddly, and then you get boots advantage points too!).
