Choose this if / Avoid this if

Rule out poor-fit options before comparing finer details.

Avoid if

  • You need a freestanding installation
  • One appliance must also dry
  • The cabinet furniture door services or removal route remain unmeasured

Dealbreakers

  • Exact model or built-in format changes
  • Cabinet or open-door dimensions fail
  • Furniture-door hinge or plinth plan conflicts
  • Connections ventilation or service access cannot follow the manufacturer instructions

Check before buying

  • Measure the cabinet opening at several points and compare the exact height width and depth.
  • Check furniture-door size hinge side drilling template magnet catch and plinth arrangement in the exact installation document.
  • Allow for inlet waste plug hose bends ventilation levelling and service access.
  • Confirm the open-door path and future access to valves filters and appliance removal.
  • Recheck delivery fitting removal returns warranty and current source identity.

Choose another shortlist if

  • Use the compact freestanding route when there is no furniture door
  • Use the washer-dryer route when one appliance must wash and dry
  • Use the broad washing route before choosing an installation format

Detailed buyer guidance

Who this is for

Use this comparison when the kitchen already has, or will be built around, a defined appliance cabinet and furniture door. It is for buyers who can verify the opening, hinge and plinth arrangement, services and future removal route against the exact installation document before selecting a built-in washing machine.

Who this is not for

Choose another route if the appliance will stand visibly under a worktop, one machine must also dry, or the cabinet and furniture-door measurements are not yet available. A nominal 600mm kitchen bay is not enough evidence of installed fit.

Treat the cabinet as part of the product

An integrated washing machine is not simply a freestanding model placed behind a door. The appliance body, cabinet opening, furniture door, hinges, catches, plinth, services, ventilation and future removal path form one installation system. This route therefore excludes freestanding machines even when their headline width or depth looks similar.

Every selected model has a complete manufacturer-published body size and an exact installation fact. Those records help narrow the comparison, but they cannot promise that an existing kitchen door or cabinet will work. Use the installation document for the exact suffix you intend to buy.

Who this is for

Use this comparison when the installation genuinely requires a built-in washing machine behind a furniture door and you can check the cabinet opening, hinge arrangement, plinth, water, waste and service access against the exact model documents. It is intended for buyers who will treat the appliance and surrounding kitchen furniture as one measured installation system.

Who this is not for

Choose a different route if the space takes a freestanding machine, if you need one appliance that also dries, or if the existing furniture door and cabinet cannot be measured before purchase. This comparison also cannot replace a fitter’s inspection or guarantee that an old door, hinge pattern, plinth or service layout will suit a new machine.

Quick decision

  • Choose Bosch WIW28302GB when a reversible furniture-door arrangement and front rear-foot adjustment are useful project details.
  • Choose Beko WTIK84122F for an 8kg, 550mm-body configuration with 0-15mm feet extension and rear feet adjustable from the front.
  • Choose Hotpoint BI WMHG 91485 UK for the 9kg capacity role in a published 545mm body, subject to an exact furniture-door template check.
  • Choose Hoover HBW 48TAMEJ-80 for the shallowest published body in this set at 525mm and a documented furniture-door and front-plinth layout.

Compare installation evidence, not only body depth

Bosch publishes 818 x 596 x 544mm for WIW28302GB. Its support material also records 956mm with the door open, a reversible furniture door and CardanDrive rear-foot adjustment from the front. A retailer’s 574mm maximum appliance-depth field should be treated as an additional clearance warning, not overwritten by the smaller body figure.

Beko publishes 820 x 600 x 550mm, 8kg capacity and 0-15mm feet extension. Front access to the rear feet can help levelling, but it does not remove the need for space behind the body for hoses and services.

Hotpoint publishes 815 x 595 x 545mm, 9kg capacity and four adjustable feet. That supports the body and capacity role only. Confirm the exact furniture-door drilling template, hinge side and cabinet hardware in the current official manual before accepting an installation quote.

Hoover publishes 820 x 600 x 525mm and 8kg capacity. Its installation layout permits the furniture hinge and magnet arrangement on the applicable side and discusses a furniture plinth across the front. The machine setting determines the allowed plinth height, so a current kitchen plinth cannot be assumed compatible.

Measure in the order that can stop the purchase

First confirm delivery access to the room. Then record the cabinet opening’s height, width and depth at the front and back. Locate the water inlet, waste and socket; allow hose bends and keep access to valves. Compare the furniture-door dimensions and weight, hinge positions, drilling template, magnet catch and plinth detail with the exact installation document.

Next open the appliance door on the planned hinge arrangement and check adjacent units, handles and walking space. Plan future removal without dismantling unsupported services. If any measurement or hardware detail is unclear, pause before choosing a model or booking installation.

Known limits

UK Shortlists has not inspected a kitchen, installed these products or verified workmanship. It does not guarantee cabinet compatibility, installation cost, noise, washing performance, reliability or service availability. Merchant pages are source references only; live price, stock, delivery, installation, returns and warranties can change.

What would put a pick back on hold

A selected model fails this route if it is not truly built-in, loses complete dimensions, or lacks product-bound installation evidence. Conflicting cabinet or furniture-door instructions must be resolved against the exact official document before publication or purchase. A freestanding sibling with a similar name cannot substitute.

When another role fits better

The first option is a useful starting point, not a universal winner. Move another role ahead when its use case, fit or ownership trade-offs match you better.

Known limitations

UK Shortlists has not measured a cabinet or installed these machines. Published dimensions and installation documents narrow the project; they do not establish fit in a particular kitchen.

How we chose

The checks behind the four picks

Every pick is a true built-in washing machine with complete manufacturer-published dimensions and at least one exact installation fact. Cabinet opening, services, furniture hardware, ventilation and future removal remain project checks.

  • Step 1: Exact built-in washing-machine identity
  • Step 2: Complete manufacturer-published height width and body depth
  • Step 3: Published wash capacity
  • Step 4: Product-bound furniture-door foot or plinth installation evidence
  • Step 5: Cabinet opening services ventilation access and removal checks

FAQs & alternatives

Does built-in mean it fits a standard cabinet?

No. Verify the exact opening furniture door hardware plinth services ventilation and installation document.

Is the published depth the installed depth?

No. Hoses plug door furniture and service allowances can increase the required space.

Can the fitter reverse every furniture door?

No. The exact machine and cabinet hardware decide. Only the Bosch role here documents the reversible furniture-door arrangement used in its award.

Also consider

  • Keep a fitting serviceable built-in machine if replacement does not solve a defined problem
  • Rework the cabinet only with an evidenced installation plan
  • Use freestanding or combined-function routes when those are the actual formats
