Compact dishwasher for large plates

Hello there,

I'd be grateful for any help with this. My mum had a stroke and now finds it hard to do dishes. I was looking to buy a compact dishwasher to fit in a small space (68cm H x 45cm W x 58cm D) but am struggling to find one that can take our large 28cm diameter plates. I want to store the dishwasher on rails under the sink rather than on a table top as we have limited space. If needed, a support strut that supports the two cupboard doors could be removed to give a 80cm width.

Any help much appreciated. I'm also visually impaired so that's making finding specific details about the various models difficult. Looking to spend under £250 if possible.

Many thanks for any help.

All the best for now and take care.

Hussein.

    We have just had to replace our compact dishwasher - you won;t find one that is 45cm wide - 55 seems to be the norm now.
    You'll also struggle with your larger plates - our Denby ones are just over 26cm and have to be placed 'at an angle' to get them in - it still cleans fine, but it doesn't look right!

    Can you not fit a 45cm slimline dishwasher in anywhere - that you be a better solution...
