There are three types of dishwashers: built-in, portable, and countertop. Built-in dishwashers are installed under the kitchen counter. Portable dishwashers are freestanding and can be moved when not in use. Countertop dishwashers sit on the counter and connect to the sink, making them ideal for compact spaces.
An 18-inch compact dishwasher holds 6 to 8 place settings and is suitable for 1 or 2 people. For a family of 3 or 4, a standard 24-inch dishwasher with 12 to 14 place settings is ideal. Larger households would benefit from a dishwasher with a higher capacity, such as 15+ place settings.
