ᐅ IKEA Medelstor 45cm Dishwasher?

Hello,

Due to structural constraints, only a 45cm (18 inch) dishwasher fits in my kitchen. It needs to be placed at the edge, so the countertop must be able to rest there. A freestanding unit is also not ideal because that would reduce my countertop space to almost nothing. Since Ikea only offers one model and there are very few user experiences available, I am turning to you in the hope of getting answers to two questions.

1) Has anyone installed a medium-sized dishwasher and can share their experience?

2) The required height must be 880mm (35 inches), if I have understood correctly based on the 60cm (24 inch) dishwashers. Are there any alternatives at this height? So far, I haven’t found any; all seemed too low. Whether the dishwasher is under-counter, fully integrated, or semi-integrated does not really matter to me.

3) And a bonus question: Is there any reason not to use the VINDIG range hood in recirculation mode?

Thank you very much in advance.

Then it would also be a problem to remove the dishwasher for servicing.
The support panel should be attached to the countertop and the wall or the floor.

Hello tenjaa,
we are facing the same issue with the 45cm (18 inch) dishwasher and a side panel as the end of the kitchen unit and support for the countertop.
Are there any updates on this?

As IKEA-Profi wrote, the smartest solution would be to simply attach the side panel to the countertop using an angle bracket.
