Fully integrated one.. fits into the hole. Siemens iq500 and 700 seem to do it.
I think youre confusing possible washing machines with dishwashers. The BSH group dishwasher soap/rinse aid dispensers have a fixed size aperture when the flap opens. They cannot adjust how much detergent is taken as you place the detergent into the soap compartment. Miele are the only ones who do a self dosing soap dispenser on a dishwasher as they have a detergent cartridge that goes into the door and roates to dispense the detergent.
I assume the dishwasher will be between 2 carcasses?
You will need to know the hole height and decor door size.
There are 2 height sizes for integrated dishwashers, and depending on the dishwasher height and what type of decor door hingeing it has will also dictate what size decor door it can take.

@Bunkermagnet .. another related Q… we have a Bosch tumble dryer. It’s a condensing one. Does the job and is fairly well built. We always clear the lint filter before every use. Also empty the container.

Maybe i had not noticed it in the past. But I was walking past it and I can see hot steam coming out from behind it. Also these days there always seems to a bit of water on the floor.. (not a lot but looks like moisture)

Maybe this was always happening but I never noticed.. or should I be worried.

Have you taken out the condenser which is behind the flap and cover in the bootom left corner of the front?
Take the biggish box out and wash it all 4 directions under the tap or in sinks of water. Make sure you can see light in all 4 directions when you hold it up to a light or something bright.

I generally do that once every couple of months… Will check this weekend

The new washing machine is here.. and getting put thru its paces. It is a Bosch Series 6 one. It is v v quiet. Havent figured out all the programs, but like the last one, we might end up only using only about 2 programs... :) Says it is A rated, so will be keeping an eye on the that one.. All in including unistall, disposal and connection, it costs £549. Hopefully it will last the next 10 years. Unlike the prev one, i can set a timer on it, so will be doing that tonight.
