Good things are not only found in (the state of) Connecticut. Took GadgetGary of a tour of "the 'hood", where I took him to an old haunt of mine............ |

The Gasget and I spotted this toy at the same time and made a beeline (sp?) for it. "AS-IS" $19.99 Blue tag. Well a huge sign said blue tags were 50% off that day. The excitement level was building! |

It sure was "purty" on the inside; and based on two water hoses and a power cord, we were on the right track! (The grey hose is a replacement hose, but you get the idea.) |

The original hose has the end broken off, so we had surmised this was the reason why this appliance was kicked to the curb. (Threaded end screws to water-inlet valve of machine). |

We took this piece of blue, dark, rigid plastic off the door, only to reveal a better view of the water-works inside! |

Yes it is a DANBY brand coutertop dishwasher! I mean WHO could resist at $20, being 8.33% of the MSRP of $240! Then take half off of the $20! |

Door, inner view Pre-wash detergent goes into oval indentation. Second wash goes into mini-dispenser. There is even a rinse-aid dispenser with a large reservoir. |

Used it? I don't think I've ever done so many loads in two days! First we scrubbed it to within an inch of its life. Then loaded her up with chemicals. |

so Toggles, If it is just yoghurt and garlic (no lemon, no cucumber) is it still tzatziki? In the shops they just call it "yoghurt sauce". Chris. |

Great find - and a "bahhhhgin dahhhhhling" price too! Mine wasn't such a bargain, but what a fun machine it is. I used it a lot when we were kitchening in the basement last winter. It really does a fantastic job - the heat does a wonderful job at restoring Centura and Corning Ware estate sale finds quickly.
