Something else to consider if you're ok with portable and don't need the surface top to store things.

Top Loading Portable DWs Were actually a real blessing in many kitchens, yes you can't store junk on the top, but how much stuff to you really want on the top of a front opening machine when you are wheeling it around the kitchen that you have to worry about falling off as you move it ?
The great thing about a TL PDW is they take up LESS than 1/2 the floor space while it is being loaded and unloaded , you can easily leave the lid up and load as you cook all day. TLPDWs were usually only about 22"X24", not 24"X26", they were usually much lighter and easier to wheel around, some folks even roiled then into the dinning room and loaded them right at the table.
This is one of the reasons why you see so many hardly used PDWs like the KDS-56 in this thread as they were a real beast to move and use.
KA was about the last company to stop making TLPDWs, they quit in the mid 70s, KA also quit portable DWs altogether when WP bought them out. | ||

Those KA TL DW
Would be far more interesting if they heated water for the main wash. Cannot understand why only Whirlpool came up with a thermostatically controlled wash (or was it rinse).
Have taken to opening up my GE MM and pouring a kettle of boiling water into it before it starts filling for final rinse. Now that the boilers are set to "summer" tap water just isn't hot enough to create enough convection for drying dishes. Using the heater function is like heating the kitchen area because the darn DW isn't insulated. That and what running a heated dry on top of a heated wash does to the electric bill. By adding boiling water it just does the trick to create a "sani-rinse" where dishes will flash dry without the heater. Mind you they are often too hot for touching at once to put away, but cool down in a while. | ||

Toploding DW Being Impractical
Well don't have my Royal Doulton kept on top; rather just a counter-top convection oven (vintage Maxim), and a toaster oven. However just with those it is still aggravating requiring to shift that lot two, three or more times per day.
You really want to cry then thinking you've done the cleaning up for the night then spy the odd dish, glass or bit of cutlery that was missed. They are either washed by hand or shoved into the fridge until can cope on the next day. Sometimes it is just more than one can endure having to shove that lot off the top of MM *again*. Even with the 18" Frigidaire was able to roll it about with pretty much the same things on top without any bother. When the MM goes it will be my last foray into TL dishwashers. No, I tell a lie; if a NIB Whirlpool unit came along *maybe* could be tempted. | ||
