I was worried about replacing our fitted dishwasher because it was badly fitted in the beginning by the builders and it was a bottom end appliance, not our choice. I was concerned that it was too big for the space and was catching on adjoining units, which caused fascia door to keep falling off. Had local shop to survey, check the space, and bought from them and they fitted. They had no trouble apart from cutting a small piece out of the kick board at base of the units, because dishwasher has an ingenious light that shows timing on the floor when dishwasher operating. Brilliant, and door no longer falls off. Only downside so much more expensive than freestanding.
