Bertazzoni built-in dishwashers are mostly fully integrated, so they sit behind a door that matches your kitchen units. There's a 45 cm slimline model for tight spaces and several 60 cm full-size machines. There's also a slot-under dishwasher that goes beneath the worktop and has its own stainless steel front, which suits a kitchen where you want the appliance on show.

Capacity follows width. The slimline model holds 10 place settings, which is plenty for a small household or a compact kitchen. The 60 cm models hold between 12 and 16 place settings. Energy ratings run from A to E and noise levels from 41 to 47 dB, so the label is worth comparing if running costs or a quiet open-plan room matter to you. The most efficient model also has the longest eco cycle, a usual trade-off with low-energy washing. Most models have a cutlery tray, which frees space in the lower basket.

The 16-place models have a sliding door fixing. With this fixing, the kitchen door panel slides against the dishwasher door as it opens instead of being fixed rigidly to it, which helps where plinth heights or door sizes don't quite match. They also offer 9 programmes, and one adds auto open, which opens the door at the end of the cycle so steam can escape and dishes dry better. The slot-under model gives you a choice of Master, Professional or Heritage handles.

Start with the space you have. If it's a standard 60 cm space, the Bertazzoni full size dishwashers narrow things down. Then decide between a hinged, sliding or slot-under fitting, and finally choose the capacity. You can also browse all Bertazzoni dishwashers or the full Bertazzoni range.
