CDA dishwashers are all fully integrated, which means they are built in behind a door panel that matches your kitchen units, so the appliance blends into the run of cabinets. Every model is cold fill, has an E energy rating and an eco programme of about three hours 40 minutes. That leaves two real decisions: the width, and the details inside. You can see the full set under CDA built-in dishwashers.
The 45 cm slimline models take 10 place settings. They suit smaller kitchens, or households of one or two where a full-size machine would rarely be full. They also have more programmes, six or seven, and they are the quieter ones at 45 to 47 dB. One has a third spray head and comes with both a cutlery basket and a cutlery tray.
The 60 cm CDA full-size dishwashers hold 13 place settings, which is enough for a family's daily load with room for serving dishes. Both have five programmes and run at 49 dB. One adds anti-flood protection and adjustable racking. The other has a fixed hinge, where the furniture door is attached directly to the dishwasher door and moves with it, so check how your kitchen doors are fitted before you buy.
Start by measuring the housing to see whether a 45 cm or 60 cm model fits. Then weigh capacity against noise and the number of programmes. To match other appliances, browse all CDA products.
