Free-standing: Standalone units like 60 cm, slimline, compact and tabletop dishwashers can be placed freely on the kitchen floor or tabletop. 60cm and slimline dishwashers can also be installed under the kitchen counter but they will not have a continuous plinth panel or be flushed with kitchen cabinetry.
Built-under / Integrated: Installed under the kitchen counter, built-under or integrated dishwashers have a visible fascia panel on the front of the dishwasher. As they have a continuous plinth panel and no worktop, built-under and integrated dishwashers have a flush fit with your kitchen cabinetry. What makes an integrated dishwasher different from a built-under unit is that it allows you to install a furniture front on the dishwasher door to match your kitchen cabinetry.
Fully Integrated: Installed under the kitchen counter, fully integrated dishwashers are seamlessly concealed behind your kitchen cabinetry. With a full-panel furniture front on the door and a continuous plinth panel, the fascia panel of fully integrated dishwashers are integrated into the top of the dishwasher door and can only be seen when the door is ajar.
