The 4 Best 18-inch Dishwashers July, 2025 (And 7 Others)
Alphachooser's list of the newest 18-inch dishwashers includes only dishwashers that obey to these criteria:
- 18-Inch dishwashers are, for the vast majority, built-in models, but compact-enough for small kitchens
- The narrow range we require to consider a model as an 18-inch dishwasher is between 17.5 and 18.5 inches
- Expect a feature set slightly less impressive for these small dishwashers than on full-fledged units, but some 18-inch stainless-steel dishwashers still manage to have fitted many of the latest perks and scrubbing technologies associated with wider models. There are also a few portable (with casters) and panel-ready models in the 18-inch-wide category.
- 18-inch dishwashers are the norm for any narrow or slimline models and may not be the quietest (given their smaller size), but we included decibel ratings when available, so you can choose wisely if noise levels are a concern.
