Is an external dishwasher possible in an Ikea Metod kitchen?

Hello!

We were pretty scared during the consultation about a new Metod kitchen when it came to installing third-party appliances. Now we want to buy a dishwasher before buying the actual kitchen. And not from Ikea... so the dishwasher ;)
Does anyone have experience whether this is really a problem and what type of appliance would fit best: simply freestanding, semi-integrated, or rather fully integrated?
For aesthetic reasons, we tend to go for semi-integrated.

You could really speed up our dishwasher purchase with your answers :) – after a year without one, that would be a dream...
Thanks in advance,
B.

Hello,

Thank you!
There doesn't seem to be any completely clear answers, but I am a little bit further. I hadn't found the one crucial link before...

Hello dear ones,

I would like to buy a Metod kitchen soon. However, I already have a semi-integrated dishwasher SMI54M35EU from BOSCH. It has a normal height (818 mm). I have been reading in the forums for quite a while to find out how I can install it chic and elegantly and without any tricks.
I actually imagined it quite simply: I adjust it to the appropriate height (adjustable up to 875 mm), take a 60x60 front, as they can also be bought at IKEA, adjust my spacers below the control panel and screw the front on (one-piece).

Is that possible? Or am I mistaken? I have to admit that I have been puzzling over it for a very long time and do not understand why it shouldn't work that way. Please enlighten me.

Best regards and a big heartfelt thank you in advance!

Hello, that doesn't work because then the 60cm front would protrude too far down and, when opening the door, would hit the base of the dishwasher, so the door wouldn't open fully. You therefore need ERSÄTTARE.
