Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: the Dishwasher envelope please!

[Kay Argyle (argyle]

I find the fear that a commercial dishwasher will make a kitchen feel less
homey and friendly a little baffling.  True, the door on our Hobart is a
little more "industrial" looking than on a residential dishwasher -- no
pretty trim details to collect grime and annoy the health inspector (which
is definitely something Hobart's usual customers worry about -- or should).
It's not that far outside the swings of fashion, though; stainless steel is
the "in" finish for residential appliances.

Compared to the controls of, say, the G.E. Profile in our unit kitchens, the
Hobart is simplicity itself -- three touchpads and a small LED display
screen.

To me, the "mood" of a room is affected a lot more by the lighting,
openness, and design of work areas -- on those counts, unfortunately, our
common house kitchen rates, respectively, inadequate, cluttered, and
less-said-the-better.  The dishwasher is the one thing I feel enthusiastic
about.
