Why Dishwasher Placement Matters: Maximize Kitchen Efficiency

Watch this 60 second video about where to place your dishwasher—on the right or on the left.

Dino Rachiele’s quick video explains why dishwasher placement isn’t just a layout decision—it’s a workflow game-changer.

1. Mind the Door SwingAvoid placing the dishwasher where the door blocks walkways. An open dishwasher in a main path is both disruptive and hazardous.

2. Stay Close to the SinkPositioning the dishwasher adjacent to the sink makes rinsing and loading efficient—no awkward stretches or messy drips across countertops.

3. Integrate with the WorkstationAt Rachiele, we view the dishwasher and sink as a team. Proper placement enhances flow, ergonomics, and functionality in the kitchen.

Bottom Line:It’s not just about where it fits. It’s about how it works. Smart dishwasher placement saves time, avoids stress, and improves daily use.
