Why do you need to know the height of the dishwasher? The answer to this question is extremely simple: knowing the dimensions of the built-in dishwasher, you can order a kitchen set of certain dimensions. When it comes to stationary PMM, information about its height is also important for a harmonious arrangement in the kitchen space.
We decided to devote this review to such a dishwasher parameter as height, because the dimensions are not unified and can differ not by 1-2 cm, but much more. Next, we will consider various types of dishwashers, which will facilitate your choice and further installation of appliances in the kitchen.
High dishwashers
All PMM from 61 to 85 cm are high. This applies to both built-in and stand-alone equipment. As practice shows, models with the ability to fully integrate a couple of cm lower than stationary models, which can easily be explained by the absence of a top cover in the design - instead, the machine is covered with a countertop.
Often users make a total mistake, not taking into account the height of the dishwasher when buying. Taking a high freestanding machine, you can most likely take it back to the store: there is a risk that the equipment will not get under the countertop. This problem will not affect you if the choice falls on a model with a removable lid - but this adjustment is not provided for in all dishwashers.
In order not to fall into such a situation and immediately select the necessary dimensions of the PMM, including taking into account the height, you need not a “lottery ticket”, but a cold calculation.
Let's start with models whose height is 61-70 cm. Unfortunately, the home appliance market in the Russian Federation does not offer cars with the indicated height. We can note only one model that went on sale earlier (you may find it at some retail outlets or order from abroad). This is AEG F 84980 VI German production.
Its difference in width is 89.7 cm (while the sizes of the usual ones in width usually vary in the range from 45 to 60 cm). The depth is 57.8 cm, and the height is only 69.8 cm. Up to 12 sets of utensils are placed in the hopper, the machine has a low noise level during operation (46 dB) and there is a turbo dryer. With such non-standard dimensions, this is a fully integrated model.
Let's move on to models whose height is from 70 to 80 cm. There is nothing up to 75 cm in our stores, but up to 80 can be found. If in 2016 there were no such models on the domestic market, today they are present, though only from the German company Miele. There are not many models, so we list all:
- Miele G 4203 SC Active CLST. Dimensions of stationary PMM (SHKHGKHV): 60х60х80 cm, cost - from 49 900 rubles. Capacity - 14 sets, energy efficiency class - A +, noise - 46 dB, turbo dryer.
- Miele G 4263 Vi Active, fully integrated. Dimensions: 60x57x80 cm (WxDxH), price - 56 900 rubles. The bunker holds up to 13 cookware sets, energy class - A +, noise - 46 dB, drying "Turbo".
- Miele G 4263 SCVi Active (14 sets, fully integrated), 60x57x80 cm. The price from the official Miele website in Russia is 59,990 rubles.
- Miele G 4203 SC Active BRWS is a stationary model with similar characteristics, dimensions 60x60x80 cm (WxDxH). It costs from 39,900 to 49,190 rubles.
- Miele G 4203 SCi Active BRWS - a machine with partial integration into the headset, 80 cm high. 59 900 rubles.
- Miele G 4203 i Active BRWS - floor partially built-in PMM (WxDxH - 60x57x80 cm). Hopper for 13 sets, 5 modes, turbo-drying, price from 56 900 rubles.
Dishwashers, the height of which is from 80 to 85 cm, are produced the most. Therefore, the choice will be easy to make, both among stationary and built-in PMMs. Examples:
- Electrolux ESL 94200 LO is a narrow fully built-in dishwasher with a width of 45 cm and a height of 82 cm. Capacity 9 sets, all classes - A, noise - 51 dB. Price - 17 190 rubles.
- Bosch SPV 40X80 is a narrow floor PMM with a depth of 55 cm and a height of 82 cm. With a capacity of 9 sets, similar to that of the Electrolux, quieter operation is provided - 48 dB. Price - 21 300 rubles.
- Hansa ZWM 416 WH is a stationary narrow model of 85 cm. Holds up to 9 cookware sets, energy efficiency class A ++. Rates start at 14,170 rubles.
- Gorenje GV 51011 - a novelty in the home appliance market at an affordable price from 15,286 rubles. The washing tank is designed for 9 sets, power consumption A ++, dimensions: 44.8 x 55 x 81.5 cm.

- Indesit DSR 15B3 - a narrow freestanding dishwasher that holds up to 10 sets, has dimensions: 45x60x85 cm (WxDxH). All classes - A, 5 programs. Price: 15 702 rubles.
Important! You may have noticed that 83 cm cars were not included in the rating. There are such models, but they are not on sale: Hotpoint-Ariston LFS 215 A X, Midea WQP8-7310C, BEKO DSS 1311 XP and others.
Which dishwasher is the highest
The highest cars - from 86 to 91 cm. So, 86 cm models, as a rule, belong to the "Premium" class. Their price can be from 90,000 to 170,000 rubles. The parameters of such dishwashers are impressive.
Some vivid examples:
- Asko D 5896 XXL - a full-size machine for 16 sets, energy efficiency class A ++, 13 programs, Turbo-drying. Cost - 139 900 rubles.
- Asko D 5894 XXL FI - this model can be purchased for 106 900 rubles. The washing tank is designed for 17 sets, 16 programs and "Turbo" drying are provided.
- Smeg STLA865A is a fully integrated machine for 13 sets of dishes, with 5 programs and 5 temperature modes. Price - 81 990 rubles.
- Kuppersbusch IGS 6908.0 GE - 14 sets, all classes A, 9 programs, 7 temperature modes. Dimensions (WxDxH): 59.8x57x86 cm. Cost - 61,755 rubles.
Machines with a height of 87 cm are represented by the brands NEFF, Kuppersbusch, Gaggenau, Bosch, Imperial, FRANKE, Siemens. But only some of them are on sale in the domestic market: NEFF S523I60X0R (from 66,900 rubles), Kuppersbusch IGVS 6509.3 (from 137,655 rubles), Kuppersbusch IGVS 6609.3 (160,650 rubles).
Of those rare cases when the height is 91 cm, it is worth mentioning the Kuppersbusch IGS 6908.1 GE model - this is a full-size machine with the possibility of partial installation in a kitchen set, designed for 14 sets and having 9 programs and 7 temperature modes. It belongs to the middle price category - 76,650 p.
88 to 90 cm: Original Smeg offer
Interesting enough models are offered in this range from the SMEG trademark. These dishwashers are unique in their design and executed in retro style. All presented models belong to the equipment of the Premium class, so their cost is around 100 000 rubles.
Noteworthy models:
- Smeg BLV2R-2. Energy efficiency class - A +++ (highest), height - 88.5 cm. Cost - 100,490 rubles.
- Smeg BLV2AZ-2. 15 sets, 9 programs, Turbo drying, height - 89 cm, price - 97 190 rubles.
- Smeg BLV2X-2. A tank with 13 sets, the highest energy consumption class A +++, minimum noise level of 42 dB, height - 88.5 cm. The price of this “silver beauty” is 107,790 rubles.
Important! In the lineup of similar SMEG PMMs, you will find not just a multifunctional model, but also a real interior decoration. Cars "SMEG" are available in bright colors: cream, orange, pink, brown, black, gray, lemon, lilac and others.
Compact dishwashers
What is the minimum and standard height of compact PMM? Such cars are most often bought by people living alone, or small families of 2-3 people. Also, such a technique will be relevant in a small kitchen of 5-6 square meters. Often such electrical appliances are not even installed on the table, but under the sink. Just in the latter case, the height of the case is of great importance - because not only a dishwasher, but also a siphon and other communications should fit in the space under the sink.
The height of small dishwashers can vary from 40.7 to 60 cm. The lowest model (40.7 cm) is the Whirlpool ADG 1900, but its release has been suspended, either due to low demand or for other objective reasons. The remaining models are slightly higher. For example, Flavia CI 55 HAVANA (dimensions of WxDxH - 55x50x43.8 cm). The bunker holds up to 6 sets, programs - 7 pieces, noise - 52 dB. Pleases an acceptable cost of 14,254 rubles.
There are a lot of models from 44 to 45 cm. They are produced under brands such as Indesit, Candy, Electrolux, Ariston, Korting or Bosch. There are much fewer cars whose body reaches 46-49 cm. Usually these are products of such untwisted brands as Mabe, Elenberg, Beltratto, Foster or Baumatic.
Higher designs (from 50 cm to 55 cm) are rare on the market. Machines such as POWERFUL PWA-2195S, NEFF S66M64N3, Ardo ME 5661 meet the specified parameters, but are not available for sale.
Fact! PMM 56-57 cm on the market at the moment are not represented - perhaps they simply are not released even abroad.
It is worth paying attention to one non-standard dishwasher - Smeg STO905-1. It is difficult to attribute to any type, because of the dimensions (WxDxH) 85.9x55x57.8 cm. This is the same rare model as the one considered at the beginning of the PMM review from Electrolux concern. The cost of equipment also scares off buyers a little: 100 390 rubles.
Among the options with a height of 60 cm, most often there are built-in designs from brands such as Bosch, Ginzzu, NEFF and Siemens. Only two offers really go on sale: this is Bosch SCE 52M55 for 45,615 rubles (built-in) and Ginzzu DC281 for 15,095 rubles (freestanding).
If you are interested in machines whose height is 30 or 65 cm, you will not find such ones - it simply cannot be this because of the design features of the technique.
To summarize. The height of the dishwasher can range from 44 to 91 cm. But, chasing space, do not forget that the modest cabinet is not always able to accommodate a sufficient number of dishes. Sometimes it’s easier to take a bigger model and tinker with its installation than to regret the poor performance of the equipment.
