One useful check in 30 seconds
Pick the question you are working through. Each short has a practical next step below it.
Tank or faucet: choose your water setup
Decide how you will supply water, reach the fill opening and drain the machine after a cycle.
Compare tank & faucet setups →It fits—but can you use it?
Allow working space for the door, filling access and the hose route before choosing a permanent spot.
Open the fit checker →Turn the video into a confident shortlist
1. Count one real meal
Write down the plates, deep bowls, cups and utensils you usually leave in the sink. Compare that mix with the exact model’s loading diagram.
Plate size & loading guide →2. Choose the water routine
A manual-fill tank can leave your supply tap free. It still needs a permitted drain route. A faucet-fed model needs a suitable connection.
Tank versus faucet guide →3. Check working space
Measure the body, open-door area and filling access. Confirm hose routing and the exact manual’s requirements before ordering.
