I’ve installed a couple dishwashers. . . this is the first one for me!
4 1/2 years of marriage, and I’ve been the dishwasher! Hells yes!
It’s not quiet, or even particularly close to the sink, but I was eyeing that 24″ base cabinet for a while, wondering if it could justify its existence any longer.
Why I didn’t do this in the first place is beyond me. I installed the kitchen. 😛 Lesson learned.

When DW and I got this old house as a wreck with 57 volts on one leg and none on the other, and no heat or plumbing, our first purchase was a DW that lived happily in the hall for many years.
Still using the same one just now, 16 years later.

Still no dishwasher. I'm waiting until:
1 I can find one that's 17-18 inches wide
2 Made by Miele<G>(CooksTalk kitchen renovation threads fuel lust)
3 Money sighPlantLust - still fantasizing about the house/lot next door...More snow...sigh. Not a single hint of my snowdrops, crocuses or other bulbs.
it costs money to sigh now???
sigh...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->
WOW!!! What a Ride!Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
If you budge on #2, #3 immediately becomes less of an issue.
18" wide? I told my wife that if we ever have a kitchen without room for a dishwasher, it's going in the dining room. ;-) Come on, it's a magic box that emits clean dishes - really no way to make it happen? I woke up this morning and thought:
1. I have a dishwasher!
2. It's Valentine's Day. Buy flowers.
3. Load the dirty dishes in the kitchen!
"When DW and I got this old house as a wreck with 57 volts on one leg and none on the other, and no heat or plumbing, our first purchase was a DW that lived happily in the hall for many years."Does 2 DW's in the house cause problems.And doesnt the bed for the 2nd DW cause traffic flow problems in the hall. Or did you just make her sleep on the floor and you stepped over her..

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
Man you are bad! LOL
They can't get your Goat if you don't tell them where it is hidden.
Years ago I belonged to a local Optimist club. They had weekly meetings and once a month it was co-ed.They where having poor turn out from the wives so for one meeting they called all of the members. One wife who knew me, but did not put name to face called and asked if I was bring my wife.I responded. "No, if I bring them both they fight, and if I only bring one the other is get mad". She said, "Uh, Uh, well, OK"..

How did you know I was a Mormon?

Personally, I'm the household cook and love the dishwasher. In fact, there are many things I could forego before the dishwasher. That may explain why we don't have flooring...... Hmmmmmm....

Always remember those first immortal words that Adam said to Eve, “You’d better stand back, I don’t know how big this thing’s going to get.”
""...and love the dishwasher.."" A fact you tell her on a regular basis correct? Now it's not just because she washes the dishes is it. ;-)

I can't believe I paid for flooring instead of the DW. ;-)
I loaded it for fun, this morning. I'm not sure when the novelty will wear off. I grew up with one, but I haven't had one since I moved away for university in, uh. . . 1999. Huh, that's a while now. No wonder I got used to doing without.
The counter is free of dirty dishes for the first time since. . . well, since I installed it, really. I never was good at washing the last mug or whatever - always felt like I had come close enough, especially if CSI was on.
