Why Buy a Fully Integrated Dishwasher?
Integrated dishwashers are one of the most popular dishwasher designs. Perfect for kitchens that prioritise style, integrated dishwashers take excellent care of your dishes while being subtly concealed behind your cabinetry. This page explores all the reasons why we love fully integrated dishwashers and why you might decide to invest in one when next upgrading your kitchen.
Reasons To Buy a Fully Integrated Dishwasher
Unlike laundry appliances, you don’t really have a choice about installing a dishwasher in your kitchen. After all, nobody wants to lug dirty dishes around the house!
As dishwashers nearly always are installed in the kitchen (you may have a utility room with the capacity), you have to ensure your kitchen has space for it. This can create a problem when designing your kitchen as a freestanding dishwasher might not fit in with the look you had in mind.
Benefits of Fully Integrated Dishwashers
If you are thinking about redesigning your kitchen, it is the perfect opportunity to invest in integrated appliances and truly make your space your own. Here are the main reasons why you should consider buying a fully integrated dishwasher.
Design
An integrated dishwasher is built into your cabinetry, meaning the design of your kitchen remains intact, essentially ‘hiding’ the appliance. You can add on any cabinetry you like, and your kitchen design will keep its uniformity.
Aesthetic
If clean lines are your thing, then there really is no other choice than an integrated dishwasher. There’s no neater, sleeker way to install a dishwasher in your home.
Peace & Quiet
Fully integrated dishwashers are insulated by your cabinetry, making them a lot quieter when in use.
Open Up Your Space
Moving from a freestanding appliance to an integrated one provides you with more floor space.
Innovation
Fully integrated dishwashers offer all the benefits & of a freestanding dishwasher in a much more attractive package.
Things to Consider
While we may have made fully integrated dishwashers sound completely irresistible, there are some drawbacks you should consider.
Installation
Unlike freestanding dishwashers, integrated dishwashers require a few extra steps to install. You will also need someone to help you with the installation as you will need to lift the dishwasher into your cupboard unit (they are very heavy!).
Storage Space
While an integrated dishwasher will help you claim back valuable floor space, they will reduce how much storage space you have access to. If you are already at capacity in terms of kitchen storage, consider first whether you can afford to lose a cabinet to keep stuff in.
To Conclude...
Despite the very few negatives of an integrated dishwasher, they are still one of our favourite kitchen appliances. Their combination of style, innovation and subtlety make integrated dishwashers a smart choice for every kitchen.
