There are pros and cons for both, it depends on personal choice and budget.
Most modern or minimalist kitchens have built-in appliances as part of the design. They offer space-saving benefits and a sleek, seamless appearance, yet they do tend to be more expensive to both buy and repair. Plus they are permanently installed in the kitchen so can’t be relocated.
Free-standing appliances are better suited to a more traditional or industrial kitchen design. These appliances require more floor space, but are generally more affordable and easy to install. Access for repairs is simple and if you move, you can take your favourite appliances with you.
No, a freestanding dishwasher is not designed to be an integrated or built-in dishwasher.
A freestanding dishwasher comes with a fitted, moulded front door in a white, black or stainless steel finish which cannot be replaced by a kitchen cabinet door.
The built-in dishwasher has a full-sized kitchen cabinet door attached to the front of the appliance which completely hides the machine and gives a seamless look to the kitchen. This compact dishwasher doesn’t usually have a top panel as it is not designed to be freestanding, and is manufactured to fit under the kitchen bench.
Although the double-drawer dishwasher provides more flexibility, the choice totally depends on the household set-up and how people like to do the washing up.
A single door standard dishwasher will probably have a bit more space inside, so if there are 4 or more people in the household, frequent entertaining or baking with lots of bowls and dishes, this type of dishwasher may be more useful.
A couple or small family is better suited to the double drawer dishwasher as they might only fill and use one of the dishwasher drawers daily. There is no rush to unload as another drawer is still available to stack. In a small kitchen where space is limited, this type of dishwasher provides options as you can choose to install a single drawer dishwasher only.
There is no easy answer as people are motivated by different things.
A brand promotion with cost-savings may prompt a purchaser to buy only that brand’s appliances. One brand may have a particular type of refrigerator, another offers certain oven and cooktop functions, or there’s a type of dishwasher required, so the discerning buyer may choose to mix and match.
If opting for integrated or built-in appliances, different brand choices don't matter from a design perspective as many of the appliances will be hidden within kitchen cabinetry. With free-standing appliances, the look of different brands is more obvious particularly the stainless steel finishes or handle styles, so check these out before you buy.
