For a kitchen opening around 45 cm wide, an 18-inch built-in dishwasher is the closest match among these options; check the appliance’s exact dimensions and your cabinet opening before buying. The COMFEE’ and Midea models suit buyers seeking an 8-place-setting interior and multiple wash options, while the SPT adds a delayed start. The Klarstein is a compact alternative, but its listing describes a tabletop mini dishwasher, so verify its installation style carefully.

COMFEE’ 18-Inch Built-In Dishwasher
Best for: Buyers who want a slim built-in model with flexible rack space and several cycle choices. Its listed width is 17.6 inches, close to the nominal 18-inch category, and it provides eight place settings.
The upper rack adjusts by up to 1.97 inches to make room for deeper pots. The lower rack accommodates large plates and dishware up to 13.78 inches high. Six cycles include Heavy, Normal, Eco, Delicate, Quick, and Rinse; Heated Dry, Hi-Temp, and Sanitize are listed as additional functions.
Limitation: The listed dimensions are 17.6 inches wide, 22.6 inches deep, and 32.4 inches high, so measure the opening and clearances rather than relying on the 18-inch label. Use dishwasher detergent, not regular liquid dish soap.
SPT SD-9254SSA 18-Inch Built-In Dishwasher
Best for: Buyers who value delayed starts and a heated drying cycle. The listed features include a time-delay function that lets users schedule operation from one to 24 hours later, which can help fit a wash into a preferred routine.
This stainless-steel-tub model is listed with six wash programs, eight place settings, an error alarm that displays fault codes, and a heating function during drying. Its 18-inch format makes it a candidate for kitchens with limited cabinet width.
Limitation: The supplied product details do not give exact dimensions or name the six programs. Confirm measurements, cycle details, and installation requirements with the product listing before purchase.
Midea MDF18A1AST With Installation Kit
Best for: Buyers comparing a slim built-in dishwasher bundled with an installation kit. The listing includes an Eastman dishwasher installation kit with an angled electrical cord and 3/4-inch compression connection.
The dishwasher is listed with eight place settings, a stainless steel tub, and six programs: Heavy, Normal, ECO, Delicate, Quick, and Rinse. Heated Dry, Hi-Temp, and Sanitize are also listed. The stated dimensions are 17.72 inches wide, 24.41 inches deep, and 33.27 inches high, with adjustable legs.
Limitation: The listed depth and height make measuring the cabinet space especially important. The kit’s presence does not establish that every home’s plumbing or electrical setup is compatible. Use dishwasher-specific detergent.
Midea 18-Inch Built-In Dishwasher
Best for: Buyers seeking an 18-inch built-in model with eight place settings and several wash functions. It shares a six-program lineup with the other listed Midea option, making the cycle selection easy to compare.
Programs include Heavy, Normal, ECO, Delicate, Quick, and Rinse. The listing also names Heated Dry, Hi-Temp, and Sanitize. Its stated dimensions are 17.6 inches wide, 22.6 inches deep, and 32.4 inches high, with adjustable legs, and it has a stainless steel tub.
Limitation: The supplied listing does not include an installation kit. Check what connections and supplies are needed for your installation, and use only detergent intended for dishwashers.
Klarstein Amazonia 8 Mini Dishwasher
Best for: Buyers with very limited space who are considering a compact mini dishwasher rather than a standard under-counter unit. Its listed modes are Intensive, Universal, ECO, Glass, 90 min, and Fast.
The product description calls it a tabletop dishwasher for small homes, but also refers to a built-in design. That makes it important to verify the intended installation style before choosing it for a 45 cm cabinet opening. The six modes give buyers several named wash options.
Limitation: The provided features do not state dimensions, place settings, or a clear installation method. Do not assume it fits a 45 cm built-in opening without checking the full product specifications.
Buying Guide: Choosing A Dishwasher For A 45 Cm Opening
Does an 18-inch dishwasher fit a 45 cm space?
Forty-five centimeters is about 17.7 inches, while “18-inch” is a nominal product category. The listed COMFEE’ and Midea models are 17.6 or 17.72 inches wide, but a product’s width alone does not confirm that it will fit. Measure the cabinet opening at multiple points and compare it with the appliance’s full installation specifications, including required clearance.
How much capacity do you need?
Two listed models specify eight place settings: the COMFEE’ and both Midea listings. That capacity can help buyers compare compact machines, but rack layout and the size of everyday dishes also affect how much fits. The SPT listing also states eight place settings. The Klarstein feature list does not provide a place-setting figure.
Which wash options matter?
Compare the named cycles with your regular dishwashing needs. The COMFEE’ and Midea options list Heavy, Normal, Eco, Delicate, Quick, and Rinse. The Klarstein lists modes for glassware, fast cleaning, and other uses, while the SPT details provided here identify six programs without naming them. Heated drying and high-temperature or sanitize functions are listed for the COMFEE’ and Midea units.
What should you check before installation?
Confirm width, depth, height, adjustable-leg range, water and drain connections, and electrical requirements in the complete listing and installation instructions. The Midea MDF18A1AST listing includes an installation kit, but that does not guarantee a match for every home. Also check whether the unit is truly built-in: the Klarstein description includes conflicting tabletop and built-in language.
