Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Residential Dishwashers

[Jessie Kome (jehako]

Hi-

I think we are pretty unanimous that the extra cost for the commercial unit was 
worth it for the speed and ease and clarity about when dishes must be done. I 
think we had repairs once to the commercial unit, in ten years. And probably 
once on the residential unit, which is past its " useful life", so who knows 
how much longer it will trundle on?

The dishwasher debate is perennial on this list. I have always assumed that the 
return of the topic occurs because we struggle to perfect what is an inherently 
messy task. Personally, I am a fan of "good enough." As in, find a solution 
that is good enough for your community, with flaws that you have to pull 
together to solve. Any solution that draws you together is a right one.

My two cents.
