“Able" is different than “know how." Many don’t want to know how. It is so 
noisy and steamy, people don’t want to go near it. Others love it and think it 
is fun.

The other issue is that it is so loud. It’s hard to talk over after dinner. And 
people don’t like tubs of water that we put dishes in to pre-rinse them.

The first one we had the lovers loved. The second one has been broken down more 
than working (an estimate).

How loud are the under the counter ones? Ours has a door type and has dish 
trays on either side.
