Why Choose a Slimline Integrated Dishwasher?
Slimline integrated dishwashers offer the perfect combination of space efficiency, cleaning performance, and seamless kitchen design.
For smaller kitchens, apartments, or households with limited space, a slimline integrated dishwasher provides all the time-saving and convenience benefits of a dishwasher in a more compact format. At just 45cm wide—compared to the standard 60cm—these models can fit into narrower spaces while still offering impressive capacity, typically handling 9-10 place settings per load (compared to 12-14 in full-size models). The integrated design ensures your dishwasher blends seamlessly with your kitchen cabinetry, maintaining a clean, uncluttered aesthetic while delivering excellent cleaning performance.
Key Features to Look For
Quick Wash Programs
Look for models with efficient quick wash cycles that can clean lightly soiled dishes in as little as 30 minutes, perfect for busy households or when you need clean dishes in a hurry.
Adjustable Temperature
Models with variable temperature settings offer greater flexibility, from lower temperatures for delicate glassware to higher temperatures for heavily soiled pots and pans.
Noise Level
For open-plan living spaces, look for models with low noise ratings (measured in decibels, with quieter models operating around 42-45dB), equivalent to a library's ambient noise level.
Water Efficiency
Efficient models use as little as 8-9 liters of water per cycle, compared to hand washing which typically uses 60+ liters, providing significant water savings over time.
Flexible Racking
Adjustable racks, folding tines, and specialized areas for cutlery and glasses help maximize loading capacity and accommodate different dish types despite the compact dimensions.
Sensor Washing
Advanced models feature sensors that detect soil levels and adjust water usage, temperature, and cycle duration accordingly for optimal cleaning efficiency.
Door Mounting Systems
Look for sliding door mechanisms that allow for flexible installation and prevent door panel collisions with plinths or adjacent cabinets when opened.
Delay Start
Programmable timers allow you to set the dishwasher to run during off-peak electricity hours or when convenient, with delays typically ranging from 1-24 hours.
Installation Considerations
Dimensions and Fit
Before purchasing a slimline integrated dishwasher, carefully check the dimensions to ensure it will fit properly in your designated space:
- Width: Typically 44-45cm
- Height: Standard height is 82-87cm to fit under countertops
- Depth: Usually 55-60cm including door and controls
Allow for proper clearance for water and drainage connections at the back, and ensure the door can fully open without obstruction. For integrated models, you'll also need to account for your cabinet door panel, which will be attached to the dishwasher door.
Plumbing Requirements
Slimline integrated dishwashers require the same basic connections as their full-size counterparts:
- Water supply: Connection to a cold water supply line with a shut-off valve
- Drainage: Either connected to the sink drainage system or directly to the property's waste pipe
- Electrical: Standard 13A socket nearby or hardwired connection
While DIY installation is possible for those with plumbing experience, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitting, secure door panel mounting, and correct alignment with adjacent cabinetry. This helps prevent leaks, door alignment issues, and potential water damage.
Energy Efficiency and Running Costs
Energy Ratings
Slimline integrated dishwashers now use the simplified A to G energy rating scale, with A being the most efficient. Most modern models achieve ratings between B and E, with significant differences in energy consumption between top and bottom-rated models.
When comparing models, look beyond the letter rating to the actual annual energy consumption in kWh. A difference of 50 kWh/year could save you approximately £15 annually on your electricity bill at current rates.
Annual Running Costs
Slimline integrated dishwashers typically cost between £45-70 per year to run, depending on energy rating, program selection, and usage frequency.
To optimize efficiency and minimize running costs:
- Only run the dishwasher when full (but not overloaded)
- Use eco or energy-saving programs for normally soiled dishes
- Scrape dishes rather than pre-rinsing them under the tap
- Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid
- Regularly clean filters and spray arms to maintain performance
- Consider using delay start to run during off-peak electricity hours
Capacity and Loading
Place Settings
Slimline integrated dishwashers typically accommodate 9-10 place settings per load, compared to 12-14 in standard-width models. A place setting consists of:
- Dinner plate
- Dessert plate
- Side plate
- Cup and saucer
- Glass
- Knife, fork, soup spoon, dessert spoon, teaspoon
For a household of 1-2 people, a 9-place setting capacity is usually sufficient for daily use. For 3-4 person households, you may need to run the dishwasher more frequently or consider whether a standard-width model would be more practical if space allows.
Maximizing Space
Modern slimline dishwashers incorporate clever design features to maximize loading capacity despite their compact dimensions:
- Height-adjustable top baskets: Allow for taller items in the bottom basket when needed
- Folding plate racks and tines: Create flexibility for loading larger items
- Specialized glass holders: Safely secure stemware
- Cutlery trays: Free up basket space and improve cleaning performance for utensils
- Third racks: Premium models may include a shallow top rack for small items or cutlery
Look for models with flexible loading options that can adapt to your specific dishware and utensil types for optimal space utilization.
