Best dishwasher for Brisbane apartments, Built-in vs Freestanding AU.
H2: 1. Types: Which one fits your kitchen layout?
Freestanding:
● The easiest. It has a worktop and can slide into any standard 60cm gap.
Built-under:
● Similar to freestanding but the lid is removed to fit snug under a 820mm-850mm high benchtop.
Fully Integrated:
● Hidden behind a panel that matches your kitchen cabinets.

H2: 3. The "Australian Water" Factor
