How to measure for a new Dishwasher
- Choose the right model from integrated, semi-integrated, to freestanding dishwashers.
- Ensure that the dishwasher’s dimensions align with the available space and cabinets. Seamless integration is important to achieving the intended aesthetic. This may involve custom panelling or adjusting kitchen cabinets to conceal the dishwasher.
- Pay attention to the plumbing and electrical connections. Proper installation not only guarantees the dishwasher’s functionality but also minimizes the risk of leaks or electrical issues in the future.

Energy efficiency and running costs
Understanding energy efficiency could save you money on your electricity bills. What’s more, energy-efficient machines are kinder to the environment. The most energy-efficient dishwashers have an energy rating of A since 1st March 2021.
There are many different factors that determine the annual running costs of a dishwasher but as mentioned previously the most important factor is the size of the dishwasher and the number of places settings that the dishwasher can hold. Although a dishwasher may be A-rated the size of the dishwasher can determine how much it costs on your electricity bill.
For example, an A-rated dishwasher that can fit 4 place settings within it (31kg dishwasher) will cost you an average £36.20 per year on your energy costs. An A-rated dishwasher that can fit 7 place settings within it (42kg dishwasher) will cost you £50 per year on your energy bills. An A-rated dishwasher that can fit 9 place settings within it (50kg dishwasher) will cost you £58.70 on your electricity bills per year and a 14-place setting dishwasher (68kg dishwasher) will cost you £80 per year.
