Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Commercial dishwasher for Common House Kitchen

[Berrins (Berrins]

Hi folks-

    Our community, Pathways, is in the middle of construction (24 households) 
and we are getting our CH kitchen together.  My job on this committee is to 
look for dishwashers, so I've following this thread with great interest.
    We have very limited space, and so are considering a undercounter model 
to get more counter space, but heard the same thing about Pioneer's 
dishwasher (a Hobart) that Rob was talking about- too low.  Being a 
chiropractor, I feel a duty to find a better one!
    I did see a potential undercounter brand at a local breakfast spot; an 
"ADS" (American Dishwashing Service), whose door is halfway up.   
Ergonomically, it looked much better than the Hobart.  It only takes one rack 
at a time, but with a 90- second cycle, it doesn't seem too bad.  I've also 
seen ads and websites for several other brands- JetTech, Moyer-Deibel, 
Champion, and more.
    SO- my question is- does anybody have any experience with an undercounter 
dishwasher that isn't a Hobart?  Repair, parts, chemicals, boosters, and all 
that.  

    -Thanks!
