CompactĬompact or space-saving dishwashers are 24 inches deep by 35 inches high, but typically only about 18 (or 17 5/8) inches wide.

Standard size is generally listed as 24 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 35 inches high, with leveling feet that let you adjust the height to fit neatly under the counter. Depending on the manufacturer, the standard and compact models can vary slightly in width, depth, or height, which could make a difference during installation. Most dishwashers are one of three basic types: standard, compact, or custom.
