Cohousing-L Mailing List: Dishwashers etc

[Ruth Hirsch (heidinys]

Hi,

We have the 'quick/sanitize ' type.
It requires load after load after load.
Also requires lifting/carrying full trays/racks of dishware.

Some folks like it--- it is sort of a team building thing, using it  
long after everyone else has gone home.  I think there are better ways  
to do team building and to use volunteer time.
With a homestyle type, the last person pushes a button.  That is it.
At some communities, the cooks cleanup as they go,  so there is no  
clean up crew, saving on the need for more volunteer time.
During most meal prep, there is a lull while water boils, something  
bakes, etc, a good time to empty homestyle dishwasher.
Ours also had a $450 repair, and is only a few years old.

What is the current state of practice in terms of residential-type  
dishwashers? Sanitizers?

Do people do pans in them?

How many loads do you do?

Are you sorry you switched to them?

Of did anyone switch?

What kind do you have?

We are facing $1600 motor replacement in our commercial freestanding  
style sanitizer and not all of us want to replace it.

Some people love it.
