Thanks guys for thinking of me!
Aren't people so sweet!
Had my eye on a few KA portables of the same ilk (but not a top loader) but after reading the archives and learning these models do not heat water for washes was put right off. During colder months of the year when the boilers are on for heating hot water is nearly instantaneous and >130F. However during warmer parts of the year and the thing is off best one can get is about 120F. Even then you'll need the taps to run if it is off hours so to speak. Our hot water comes from a sidearm off the boiler which is sort of like a tankless system from what one understands. When there are long gaps in usage such as say late night it takes time (often some time) to purge the pipes of cold water and get the system to produce hot. Have found *heated* hot washes are the key to "flash drying" with dishwashers; that is unless you intend to heat the rinses as well. With cooler rinse water you are just about locked into using a heated drying system to get the job done. | ||

Love That Machine, But Yes, Too Far Away
Utica is up past Albany easily > four hour drive I should think.
Thanks for thinking of me though. Also this unit is a 24" portable. Could possibly squeeze a 22" top loading portable into our galley kitchen to be near enough for use of the sink/taps, but 24" would not work. This is how we ended up with the 18" Kenmore (rebadged Frigidaire) in the first place. | ||
