Ultra-slimline dishwasher - any ideas?

Hi,

My partner and I are looking to buy a slimline dishwasher, but are looking for one with a 40 cm width due to space restrictions. The majority we've looked at are spec'd at 45 cm, but are there any that are thinner?

If not - are table-top dishwashers good?

Thanks,
Adam

    Hi Adam

    I fit Kitchens for a living. 450mm is the slimmest you can get (but happy to stand corrected). You may struggle to get a door for a 450 also, but happy trying, but do not hold out much hope for you.

    If you have the drawer space to spare, I remember once seeing an amazing counter drop in dishwasher. The price had lots of numbers though, and I can't remember where I saw it....so probably not much use then...:confused: ....it might have been at an ideal home show?

    You used to be able to get counter top dishwashers. Are they still available? Could be unsightly, but ok in a utility room perhaps?

    If at all possible make room for a full size dishwasher. I've had 2 slimline ones and I am ALWAYS overfilling them, with dire consequences!
  • Hey there
    I'm new to this forum but found your question through Google as I too am looking for a dishwasher to fit into a 40cm gap. Did you have any joy? Would appreciate knowing although I realise this was posted ages ago! Thanks

    Ditto!

    We redesigned our kitchen to fit a full size after similar experiances.

    I think 45cm is standard sadly :(
