Standard Dishwasher Dimensions

By Kevin Sorby | Kitchen Designer & Cabinetmaker

The standard dishwasher dimensions are 596 mm wide (59.6 cm) x 600 mm (60 cm) deep x 820 mm (82 cm) high extending to 870 mm (87 cm) high using in-built height adjustable legs. This size is typical for integrated / free-standing dishwashers and fits into standard kitchen layouts.

Dishwasher Cavity Opening Size

The dishwasher open space (or cavity) between cabinets is 600 mm (60 cm) wide and the height is 870 mm (87 cm). This space will allow a free-standing or integrated dishwasher to fit in perfectly.

Any space left between the top of the dishwasher and benchtop can be filled with a panel that matches your kitchen door finish.

Double check your kitchen benchtop height (floor to underside of benchtop) before ordering a dishwasher to make sure it will comfortably fit.

Standard Slimline Dishwasher Dimensions

The standard slimline dishwasher dimensions are 445 mm (44.5 cm) wide x 600 mm (60 cm) deep x 820 mm (82 cm) to 870 mm (87 cm) high (using height adjustable legs).

Slimline dishwashers are perfect for small kitchens where every centimetre of space counts.

Design Tip - Careful consideration should be given to the dishwasher placement in your kitchen layout. Avoid designing the dishwasher in a location opposite an under-bench oven (i.e located in an island) as an open dishwasher door extends approximately 630 mm (63 cm) outward and an oven door extends approximately 470 mm (47 cm) outward.
