A slimline dishwasher is simply a more compact dishwasher that is designed to fit in smaller kitchens. They are typically around 45cm wide and can accommodate up to 10 place settings. These dishwashers are ideal for apartments and studios.
Yes, as a slimline dishwasher is smaller than a regular dishwasher and has a smaller capacity, it will use less water. Always make sure you fill the dishwasher to capacity before running it in order to not waste water.
The amount of electricity that a dishwasher uses will vary depending on the model, how log the cycle takes and the settings used. A slimline dishwasher typically uses around 0.8 kWh per cycle, compared to a standard sized dishwasher which will typically consume around 1 kWh per cycle.
If you’ve purchased a freestanding slimline dishwasher, then this will need to be installed near a water source. Ensure that there is a power supply within a meter of where the dishwasher will be installed and that the cold water supply is behind it.
