What do you have in your utility?
Comments

Nobody seems to have mentioned freestanding microwave ovens? We have ours in the utility room to keep our kitchen worktops free - they are fairly ugly beasts at the best of times.0

Do you know? I actually forgot that we also have the CH boiler in there too! I'm beginning to realise how useful it really is as I look at the next- door toilet which only contains the basics.... maybe I could add a cupboard in there....
The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

One thing I am undecided on is a dishwasher area in a utility or keep that in the kitchen area.
We changed a small utility area which had a sink in, took the sink out and used the space for a slimline dishwasher as that was the only way we could get one in without remodelling the kitchen. It was OK.... but not ideal. I used to empty the plates etc onto a tray and carry them across to the cupboards where they lived.
Ideally in my opinion, you site your dishwasher near to where you store your plates and cutlery, so that you can stand beside it and reach the places you put things away easily. That's what we have in our current house. Saves time effort and breakages.Make £2024 in 2024

It depends where your kitchen is located. If our dishwasher was in the kitchen then we'd be able to hear it from the living room and dining room, so it's nicer to have it hidden away in the utility room.0 -

You must have a very noisy dishwasher. We have a semi open plan ground floor and can't hear it at all from the living room when the TV is on and it's barely audible when the TV is off.0 -

I've never come across a quiet dishwasher, though it's something I'll look into when ours needs replacing. My parents' is even worse, and can easily be heard through two sets of closed doors.0 -

This is our second dishwasher, the one in the old house was a little nosier but not by much, you couldn't hear that from anywhere else in the house when the kitchen door was shut.
Our current dishwasher is a BOSCH SMV40C30GB0 -
I have a pretty old AEG dishwasher in the kitchen - it's so quiet, the noisiest thing is the dishwasher tablet being ejected! Other than that there is a slight swooshing sound that cannot be heard above normal TV or conversation."Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.0

Wow some of you have big utility rooms. I have a small one with washer, dryer and a huge sink along with a wall cupboard, shoe cupboard and shelf. The ironing board fits behind the door. If I had more space I would add a broom cupboard. I sort my washing out upstairs on the bed.
I wouldn't want my dishwasher in there - I would have to take the dirty washing up out from the kitchen and bring it back afterwards which would be more work.0 -
When we were house hunting a utility room was right at the top of our 'must have' list - cat litter tray for the use of!0
