Types of dishwashers
Dishwashers are divided into two types: freestanding and built-in. A freestanding dishwasher can be placed anywhere in the kitchen. You only need to bring water to it and install sewage disposal. Most freestanding dishwashers have a removable top. You can put a kitchen counter in its place. Built-in dishwashers allow the front to be adapted to the interior of the kitchen.
