Discover tall tub dishwashers

Many people are turning to tall tub dishwashers, hoping to enjoy larger capacity and their ability to clean more dishes and cookware in a single load than standard models. While many standard-sized dishwashers typically fit 12 place settings, a large-capacity, tall tub model can accommodate about 12 to 15. The larger tub helps deliver the convenience of loading more dishes and running fewer cycles without sacrificing valuable kitchen space.

A tall tub dishwasher means there is more interior space than standard tubs, but the exterior size remains the same. This provides greater capacity and the ability to handle oversized cookware, which many big families and those who like to entertain might appreciate. 

The exterior size of a tall tub dishwasher is consistent with these standard model dimensions:

• 24 inches wide

• 24 inches deep

• 35 inches tall

These dimensions allow you to reap the benefits of increased capacity without concern for tight installation or using too much kitchen space. 

Explore how to maximize capacity with these best practices for loading a dishwasher.

Typically, a tall tub dishwasher offers more loading space courtesy of wider tines, different washing arm and motor configurations and the absence of a kick plate. These components combine to create more space on the bottom rack to accommodate large dishes, like casserole pans, in one cycle.

Tall tub models are designed with a flatter motor configuration and a top-placed washing arm, creating more space on the bottom rack for loading. These models also remove the kick plate at the bottom of the appliance, allowing for even more usable space. 

Many tall tub dishwashers, like this Whirlpool^® Dishwasher with Fan Dry, also feature an adjustable upper rack, freeing up additional space.

Although a tall tub dishwasher features an increased capacity for larger loads, it remains the same height as a standard dishwasher (approximately 35 inches tall), meaning you shouldn’t have any concerns about installing one with standard countertops. 

The standard dimensions of a tall tub dishwasher are roughly the following:

• 24 inches wide

• 35 inches tall

• 24 inches deep, excluding handles, like in this Whirlpool^® Large Capacity Dishwasher

If you are searching for a wider dishwasher, some large capacity models are available with widths ranging between 30 and 42 inches.
