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.

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.

This one is a show-er AND a grow-er.

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?

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.

Never thought of it, but.....

When loading the DW, you must stand to the left or right of the sink to load....I guess that prevents (AHEM) pre-rinsing!

Load and Go!

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!

Does anyone have a pic or a linkie to one of those Modern-Maid brand cookers over a DW?


These are good in that you can place large pots in the lower rack and flat things in the rear of the upper rack. Feels like /appears to be more capacity than a compact 18 inch (45cm) DW.

Actually, I remember in my youth that a neighbor raised the coutertop by a 2 inches (5cm) to accomodate a REGUALR DW under a gas cooktop....

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 have always liked those. The apartment my great grandparents lived in at the waterford in palm beach fl had one from 1984.. I loved playing with that dishwasher. They used it almost daily for 10 years before they moved. Toggles, was the lilac apt. in the same bulding???

No. The lilac accented apt was in Manhattan in a newer high-rise.

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?

no drain board

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.

We are equally fascinated to see separate hot and cold taps

toggleswitch's profile picture
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

Pete:

GEs frequenlty have fiberglass sound insulation. Not sure if this is a BOL item, and/or the age of it puts it in era before sound insulation was de-rigeur!

Separate taps...

They're usually the most basic, common form of kitchen sink taps, as installed at the behest of local council housing, rented accommodation, etc.

The mixer taps are the superior option (ala Mrs Bucket).
