ones costs $1500-$2500. I argued against an under the counter dishwasher and
would do so again, they are really ergonomically stupid, drip water everywhere
as you load and unload and albeit cheaper, much more of a hassle to work on
than an above counter.  >

Just a caution, this may have to do with our local code and that we have been
forced to be a commercial kitchen, 
        but, for us, an above counter dishwasher would have required additional
venting and make-up air  costing litterally thousands and thousands of extra
$$. So, we will not have one.  
        Also, our counter limitations and codes made it impossible.

so it goes.
