A freestanding dishwasher is very useful if your kitchen has already been installed and there's no room for a built-in dishwasher. You can easily place the appliance wherever you want it, as long as there's a water supply and drain nearby. Also keep the available space in your kitchen in mind when you choose your dishwasher. Don't want to dry your dishes with a tea towel after the cycle? Choose a ventilation drying technology or a dishwasher with zeolite. You save the most on energy with an A energy label.
