Across a dataset of 728 ENERGY STAR dishwashers, capacity ranges from approximately 2.0 to 18.0 place settings, with a median of 14.0 place settings. Width varies from roughly 10.1 to 59.8 inches. The appropriate size for a given installation depends on the specific household's needs and the dimensions of the available space, rather than simply selecting the largest available model.
The dishwashers in this dataset fall primarily into two main categories: standard models, which comprise the vast majority at 698 units, and compact models, numbering 30 units. These subtypes occupy distinct size bands within the overall range. Before making a purchase, the height, width, and depth of the installation space should be measured carefully, along with the access path through which the appliance must pass to reach its final location. These dataset ranges represent the overall spectrum of available options and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of fit for any individual model.

Capacity tells you how much it holds; the width, height and depth tell you whether it fits. Check both the appliance opening and the doorway/hallway path before you commit to a size.
