Default O/T - dishwashers - how SMALL do they get?

I got a tiny kitchen But I do have a bunch of cupboard space I honestly don't need.... So how small do dishwashers get? I don't need a full size one - like washing machine sized one, so do they do half sized?

I live on my own and don't generate that much washing up - 6 plates, 4 or 5 glasses/mugs, couple bowls and a handfull cutlery a week I'd say, and yeah I could wash em up but I HATE washing up - and I mean I REALLY hate it!!!!!! PLus I am shit at it. Stuff is clean but it don't look it (water marks on the plates/cutlery etc)

How expensive are dishwashers to run?

Trip to some home leccy shops coming on soon then

Wanna get my oven and hob ripped out too and replaced with gas - god I HATE leccy oven + hob!!!!!

So thining if I get round to doing that, which would mean having the units out, then might be an idea to have dishwasher fitted....

i got a 50cm wide one as i got a small kitchen, mines a basic bosch jobby that,,,,, well cleans stuff ALOT better than you would thing

aske johnnyB as before i sold him my bigwing sump i washed it in there to see how good it was


im buying all new stuff for my kitchen build but im keeping my dishwasher as it works better than my mums, sisters and all of my mates

i got it given off the missus old man when we moved in as a TEMP thing till we had the cash to buy one

cleaning glasses in it,,,, they REALLY sparkle when they come out,,, so much soo that all my plates, bowls, saucers and cups are the clear glass ones you buy in ikea,,,, nothing better serving food on plates that LOOK sparlky clean and clear

its also very quiet too,,,, unlike the washing machine i need to adjust the leg on

you can get a slimline that goes in where a 500 cupboard would go.

We have a Fisher and Paykel Drawer one which is the width of a standard cup board door but only half the height (we have our pan draw under it). It is fine for 2 people and takes us a couple of days to fill it.

girly tips for you here

for glasses, they need to be rinsed with hot water and wiped dry straight away. cutlery will stain if left to dry horizontally as well
