Narrow dishwashers tend to end up in galley kitchens and bar areas, and the SPX68C75UC is Bosch’s bar-handle take on its 18-inch 800 Series. The body is stainless and 17 5/8 inches wide; the machine is rated 44 dBA and seats 10 place settings, dries with CrystalDry, and has AquaStop Plus and Home Connect.
The handle deserves thought while the kitchen is still being planned. Where the dishwasher sits beside a wall return, a handle that projects removes swing clearance that a 24-inch run would never miss. A tape measure before the cabinets are built settles the question.
In use, the handle becomes a service point too. Its fixings can work loose in a narrow door that is lighter than a full-size one, and the slimmer racks bend when someone loads them with full-size cookware.
Sometimes they fit, but the racks are narrower and lighter, and repeated heavy loads bend them. Washing big cookware by hand is better than distorting the racks.
The idea is the same, fixings through the inner door panel, but a narrower door is lighter, so tighten it promptly before the panel deforms.
Enough to open fully past the handle. Check against any wall return before ordering cabinets, because a bar handle stands out further than a pocket handle would.
