Wow! I like this in the same way I like the GE wall fridge--eye level and convenient. No bending down every time you load or unload. Did anyone else manufacture such a creature?

It's totally cool, and I'd love to have one, but the seller must have been smoking some very heavy stuff when he decided on the price.

Save on bending to dishwasher

Sarah as you are designing your kitchen from scratch why not have a cabinet under any built in dishwasher so its at a more convenient height ? Its what a lot of people over here do when having it built and you can slide any machine in and out without ruining your flooring.

I have seen kitchen displays with cabinets of about 12" under dishwashers. Of course, those were standard machines, not tall tubs. You don't want the LT. It was the modernized James design, but there was no real provision for backwashing the cylindrical filter around the impeller so it was not able to deal with particulate matter.  The wash cycle was sort of limited, too with it basically starting to fill at the end of wash to overflow the wash water down the drain and at the end, fog the dishes with steam so that they dried in distilled water. It could operate as a gravity drain machine and was probably the only dishwasher that came in three sizes based on numbers of place settings. Oh, it had a wind up timer that you turned all the way around from the OFF position to the beginning of the cycle and it ticked back through the cycle to OFF, like a damn Norge dryer. Interesting, but not great.

This looks to be the exact same one, posted in 2014...

If you're after a no-bending solution, another wildcard option might be the Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer. You could get the panel-ready single-drawer, and with a little modification work, integrate it into your vintage cabinets using the cabinet drawer front(s) to cover the dishdrawer. It wouldn't look like a dishwasher - it would literally look like plain drawer(s). Only you would know that a dishwasher was behind it.

Or even cheaper, buy one of those countertop dishwashers. duh.

The capacity is far smaller than any regular full size dishwasher but many people would be impressed with what you can fit in one of those tiny things.

But I'll probably go with a late 60s early 70s Kitchenaid Superba. My good friend mixrman has bought the one my husband made me donate back to Habitat several years ago. Now, it looks like it's coming back my way since he already has two in use and bought that one for a spare.
