What Type of Dishwasher Do You Need?

Freestanding Dishwashers

  • Flexible placement

  • Easy to install

  • Available in white, black, silver and stainless steel

  • Ideal for most homes

Perfect if you're replacing an existing unit or don’t need a built-in look.


Integrated Dishwashers

  • Designed to fit behind kitchen cabinet doors

  • Fully integrated or semi-integrated options

Slimline Dishwashers (45cm)

  • Great for apartments or smaller kitchens

  • Typically 9–10 place settings

  • Space-saving without sacrificing performance

A popular choice for couples and smaller households.


Choosing the Right Capacity

Dishwasher capacity is measured in place settings.

  • 9–10 place settings — Couples or small households

  • 12–13 place settings — Most families

  • 14+ place settings — Larger families or frequent entertainers

Tip: Most Northern Ireland family homes opt for 12–14 place setting models for flexibility.


Energy Efficiency & Running Costs

With rising energy prices in Northern Ireland, choosing an efficient dishwasher can significantly reduce household bills.

Look for:

  • A–C energy rated models

  • Eco wash programmes

  • Low annual kWh consumption

  • Low water usage per cycle

Modern dishwashers often use less water than handwashing — especially when run full on an eco cycle.

Our team can help you compare running costs before you buy.
