A semi integrated dishwasher fits behind a door that matches your kitchen units, but leaves its control panel on show along the top. You can check the settings and time remaining without opening the door, and the front still sits in line with the rest of your cabinets. AEG's version pairs a stainless steel control strip with push-button controls and a digital display.

Before buying, check that you have a standard 60 cm housing and a cabinet door cut short enough to fit below the controls. Also make sure the panel's finish suits your handles and worktop. For more choice, see all AEG 60 cm wide built-in dishwashers, or compare AEG 60 cm wide fully integrated dishwashers if you would rather hide the controls completely.
