Dear Folks, We really need a Commonhouse dishwasher. We have gone through Archives, and asked this List for help. It was thought that we had decided, perhaps not heartily however, on a $4,400 Hobart dishwasher, if we could afford one. The choice was between a Hobart and two heavy duty home style dishwashers [around $2,000]. Questions have been raised at yesterdays meeting, causing us to re-open question. Our one neighbor, after listening said: "So, what I hear is we can spend $2,000 for two dishwashers that don't need us to rinse dishes or $4,400 for one that does?" Can you give us your input, esp re: these specific questions which were raised. The concerns with a Hobart that came up: 1. Do dishes need to be rinsed off before going in?? Since this is not the case with a homestyle dishwasher, it's a concern: uses more water, takes effort/time. 2. Our other neighbor raised the point of CAPACITY of homestyle dishwashers. Please let us know your experience. We're growing to 17 households..... Currently, a large dinner is about 27 adults & kids; this increase to perhaps 30-35 people. Folks with homestyle dishwashers in CommonHouse, we'd appreciate knowing capacity. 3. Water?? Responses to concern about commercial Hobart type needing dishes rinsed before going thru [ok, plus expense.] According to Consumer Report[May2002], pre-rinsing for a homestyle dishwasher wastes abt 20 gallons; many of the homestyle dishwashers take five gallons to do a whole load, some, up to double that. This makes me wonder abt environmental cost of a dishwasher that equire pre-rinsing. Experience? Thoughts? Also, open to any other input on this expenditure!! And for any others in this search, I can offer to email compilation of past & recent research on this topic! thanks, Ruth Hirsch, Cantines Island CoHo, Saugerties, NY email: HeidiNYS [at] aol.com _______________________________________________ Cohousing-L mailing list Cohousing-L [at] cohousing.org Unsubscribe and other info: http://www.cohousing.org/cohousing-L
