Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Dishwasher

[David Mandel (dlmandel]

The biggest problem with dishwashers of that type that I've seen is that
they're very noisy, not conducive to relaxed after-dinner conversation in
the dining room, unless your kitchen is walled off, which I wouldn't
recommend for other reasons.
