I was searching craigslist tonight looking for a portable dishwasher for my summer kitchen. As usual all the portables were newer GE's and Kenmores and everyone wants like $400 for them. Then I found this nice looking Kitchenaid built in for only $75 and was wondering if it can be made into a portable and if so what would I need to do? Also want to know more about this dishwasher if anyone can tell me anythin gfrom the only pic there was of it. Hopefully this is a Hobart made unit. |

it would take a bit of work but you could install wheels or casters and a faucet hookup. i know quick connects for faucets can be bought at lowes or home depot, hoses are readily available and you could make sides out of plywood or other wood. first dishwasher i ever worked on was a 1964 hotpoint built in. got it when i was 12 and spent summer fixing it up. i had metal panels made for sides and back from the high school metal shop class and installed hoses and a quick connect. we used it for quite a while. oh yea, a top can easily be made of many types of wood or laminate. it would be a fun way to go! a do it yourself portable. or forget the sides and top, put it on wheels and hook up the hoses and your off to the races! |
