Does anyone out there have one of these and what brand is it?? I know some the early (20's-mid-50's) dishwashers were countertop height; sure makes more sense than undercounter! A few modern houses I've seen have had the DW mounted a bit higher, with a short cabinet underneath. Wonder why the higher DW's didn't catch on? MUCH easier on the back as one gets older. Was it just that many folks were first buying portables, sometimes later installing them permanently, so manufacturers just catered to that need? I also realize most kitchens weren't as big as many of today's, so counter space was at a premium. Does anyone currently make a model meant to be mounted higher than floor level?
Hope everyone had a Happy T-day! Thanks! Duane |

Thanks, Barry! Years ago, did have a Kenmore 70's portable in a condo in Chicago. Cleaned well, but suspect ALL 20 floors above us heard it when we ran it! NOISY! I think the best solution, IF one had the space and money, would be to mount it in a cabinet similar to a wall oven unit cabinet. Then there would not be that awkward, raised counter top, plus storage above and below.
Happy Holidays! Duane |
