Questions about Bosch SMV GSP in Ikea Metod kitchen unit

Yes, exactly.

Function of the Vario hinge
In principle, it works similarly to a refrigerator door with sliding door technology, meaning the front slides along the appliance door when opening.
Oh yes, for the sake of completeness, one should also mention the solution with ERSÄTTARE, where a split front is needed, with the lower part being 20cm high and folding FORWARD when opening the dishwasher door using hinges.

Great, thank you. So, to be honest, I find the hassle really unpleasant. I think it's a shame that you can't just install a fully integrated dishwasher without having to cut everything to fit.

But thanks a lot for the info.
With ovens and built-in microwaves, I don't have this installation problem, do I?

Great, thank you. Honestly, I find the fiddling totally unpleasant. I think it's a shame that you can't just install a fully integrated dishwasher without having to cut everything to fit.

I believe these problems did not exist before with Faktum and only appeared with Metod, where the front height is now 80cm. But if you know what you're doing and choose a device with a variable hinge (or an equivalent option from other brands than BSH), then it works without problems anyway.

With ovens and built-in microwaves, I don't have this installation problem, right?

No, and with refrigerators it is also less problematic; it might just be that the doors protrude a bit at the top or bottom. However, the same can be seen in the Ikea show kitchens with Ikea’s own refrigerators. Best regards Section manager

Great, good to know.

I googled a bit and also called the BSH dealer service. Bosch offers the models

Bosch SBE 68 TX 06 E
and
Bosch SBE 88 TX 16 E

Siemens has the SX 778 X 16 TE.

Thanks to the Vario hinge, they would fit without any problems.
Just one stupid question to finish. The Ikea appliances are connected to the fronts via the drop-down door system. But you could also go ahead, leave out the hinges, and thus mount the appliances using the fixed door system, right?

Hello forum again,

my kitchen is now ordered. About the dishwasher:

The section chief described the Stefan method here. I came up with the idea that you can have a 2.5 cm thick wooden board cut to the width of the niche at the hardware store under the countertop and then screw it to the countertop and co with countersunk Torx screws. Below that, you could then easily press the dishwasher and you don't have to screw up the baseboard or anything else.

That's correct reasoning on my part, right?

Because actually I'm seriously considering buying the SBV 69 N 70 EU. If my train of thought is correct, you could then attach the front panel with an offset according to the installation instructions. Right?

The minimum base height is specified as 9 cm. Maybe 8 cm will also work within the tolerances, but maybe not. So far, no one has reported to what extent any tolerances can be exploited.
