Just wondering in 2025 if there any standard tub dishwashers out in the new dishwasher arena?
Are there any Satndard tub dishwashers being manufactured?

Standard tub built-in dishwashers
I think the GE was the last one to produce a standard tub dishwasher. It ended a few years ago.
But all the Chinese ADA dishwashers including those sold by GE are really standard tub machines. They're about the same interior dimensions.
We end up using these ADA dishwashers and kitchens that have built up floors and solid surface stone countertops, where you can't move anything to get the dishwasher out and the new one in, they're kind of neat because they're a little noisier too, and they sound and load like the older standard tub machines. You don't have to bend over so far to use them.
Here's a picture of a new GEADA dishwasher I installed where I pulled out a KDI 17 dishwasher because the floor was built up nearly an inch and we couldn't get a standard tall tub machine in the opening and I had to cut the frame off the KitchenAid to get it out.

I thought GE was the last, I was curious.
I just looked at the GE ADA compliant dishwasher and it may be exactly what I could use thank you.
In Europe, ADA compliant models are still the norm. These brands will also have a range of standard tub models.
Given that kitchens in the EU have long been a kind of off-the-shelf mix and match cabinet system, there is and was a very specific design system that didn't have adjustable feet for the cabinets.
Those usually had the typical 82cm height which added up to the typical 86cm work top height.
But you really only find that on new kitchens in the VERY BOTTOM price bracket by now - or in old kitchens.
Nowadays, most kitchen cabinets systems allow for countertop heights anywhere from 80 to over 90cm.
My mum is relatively short, so she had her new kitchen designed a bit lower down - but had the DW elevated in return.
That also led to the EU phenomenon of tall tub standard height DWs where manufacturers tried to slim down all the components in the machine base to gain a few centimetres in tub height.
Or the exact opposite: VZug put a standard height DW on to of an additional base, creating an 87cm DW with standard tub - and heatpump.

No, as far as I'm concerned. There are only tall tub dishwashers.
