Semi-integrated dishwashers are designed to be partially visible in your kitchen. They have a control panel on the front of the dishwasher, which is usually visible when the door is closed. Fully integrated dishwashers, on the other hand, are designed to be completely hidden in your kitchen. They do not have a control panel on the front of the dishwasher, and the entire appliance is hidden behind a panel that matches your kitchen cabinets.
