I inspected a building in NYC that has a GE under-the-sink space-saver dishwasher. Please forgive the mold and the muck, the building was vacant and unheated all winter. CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK |

more pics The front of the upper rack fits drinking glasses. The rear of the upper rack is about 2 inches (5cm) tall and fits flat things. This part of the machine fits under the sink's drain pipe. CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK |

More pics See the wash-tower and the raised area above the rear of the lower rack for small plates? Now what is this KA (or BOL WP) tableware rack doing here? *HANDS ON HIPS?* CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK |

Side view. Again please excuse the muck an yuck factor. Vacant building slated for gut renovation. I wont even show you what the squatters /trespassers did! See how the machine has a cut-out for the sink's drain pipe? I believe the sink has to be ordered as well. Not too deep and drain-hole opening is towards the rear. |

Here is a pic of it under a cooktop. Place a micro-convection oven with range-hood over it and you have the old fashoned Modern-Maid brand equavalent of cooking over a DW! CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK |

I've designed and built several kitchens for folks with very little space (housing prices in Munich make NYC look cheap) and the first thing I do is put the dishwasher right under the cooktop. The units over here are all "0-Kontakt", that is, no clearance to anything flammable is required underneath or on the sides. I do put extra, flameproof, non-absorbant insulation between the two, tho', just 'cause I am paranoid about the foam B/S/H uses on their built-ins. That stuff makes napalm look like child's play. Bet I saw one of these earlier machines back in the 'States in my youth and it just rattled around in my head 'till I needed it. Groovy idea! |

I notice that the kitchen sinks in both the squalid flat and the lilac apartment, have no integral draining board. Is this normal for USA? |

The built-in drain board went away for the most part, IIRC, with the demise of metal sink cabinets. The house I live in now had one, but it was part of a Hotpoint ElecticSink (the one that is frequently a POD....). |

Integral drain-boards are available, but not seen frequently. Cheap, flismy, portable make-shift ones are normally used. They tend to be sold as part of a dish-drainer and drain board set. CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK |

For some reason an integral drain-board is treated as a luxury item here. Those prices in the link can generally seen as high for a kitchen sink. (Well, except by those seeking status and class via their possessions. It's "Bouquet" dear, spelled "Bucket." *LOL*) Pound sterling is approximately USD $2 CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK |
