Ikea table dishwasher offer?

I find it very unfortunate that Ikea does not offer countertop dishwashers, especially at a particularly affordable price. That would be super practical in my current situation. My kitchen only has space for a 2.60 m line. If I install a full-sized dishwasher there, I lose storage space that I will probably miss later as a beginner hobby cook. Now I have seen that there are countertop dishwashers available, for example, from a large German mail order company. In terms of the device, I could also place it under the sink in the cabinet. But I find it a pity that Ikea does not offer solutions for singles. Especially since Ikea stands for "appropriate solutions in small spaces." They don’t implement this quite as well when it comes to kitchens.

I just had to get that off my chest, without complaining about the cabinets. It will definitely be an Ikea kitchen. Faktum is Fantabulous.

Hello pearl from Hamburg!

I think the following could help you. I have realized a "space-saving solution" with a "special" dishwasher modular built-in appliance from Siemens and a Siemens microwave/oven stacked on top of each other.

Our friends are always completely amazed at how easy and convenient loading the dishwasher can be...

The dishwasher is super for our 2-person household but definitely requires maintenance. It needs significantly more "care" attention like cleaning the filter, etc. because it is drastically smaller.

Such a model also exists from SMEG STC75. I used a Faktum tall cabinet with two drawers at the bottom.

Then (going upwards) dishwasher (60 cm high), then microwave/oven (45 cm high), and above that there is still a compartment for which I equipped the front with fittings from the hardware store so that it folds upwards. In the above picture, the dimensions are incorrect because the dishwasher is 60 cm high and thus 15 cm taller than the lower oven shown in the picture. As a result, the door above no longer fits, etc. Therefore, you have to do some tinkering at the top. But it was no big problem and can be done brilliantly by any IKEA fan. You can also make the upper door 15 cm shorter, but in our kitchen there was little "air space" and it seemed more practical to us if the "door" folds upwards. It has proven to be very effective. Even if the "upper" oven then lies 15 cm higher as usual, it is still just manageable for me at a height of 165 cm, i.e., fillable. But for true "hobbits" < 160 cm, I think the height of the upper oven is certainly borderline in terms of usability. Everyone has to know and find out for themselves.

Hello Fotokatze,
thank you very much for your reply and your tip. The problem with my kitchen is that I cannot use urgently needed countertop space because of a tall cabinet. If I remove the sink and the ceramic hob, I only have about 1 1/2 meters of workspace left, and that is already too little for me. I will see if I can get a used table dishwasher after buying the kitchen that I can place under the sink. Thanks anyway. Maybe someone else has been helped.
