Condensation drying in DWs

Waste King dishwashers used to depend on the steam condensing on the tub walls during the dry cycle. Once or twice during the dry cycle the pump would turn on to pump out the condensed water. I don't think that would work with a well insulated tub. That water tank on the side of the tub wall sounds like Thomas the tank engine, the British steam locomotive that had water tanks on the sides of the boiler.

I checked the Bosch website. They do not offer the countertop dishwasher in the US. Disappointing.

The tub + "flat tank" assembly is *wrapped* with an insulation mat. Euro DW have no more the old exposed calrods since 15 years
Condensation drying is effective, provided rinse aid is used.

Machines are even quieter than a fridge. With the previous link of the countertop machine, look for Siemens dishwasher vids to have a clue : you'll hear just the noise of water splashing on the plastic foil.

Lab/surgery washers (e.g. SMEG and Miele) also use condensation drying. The incorporated condensor unit works with a separate feed/drain. I go crazy for this one in the vid, with a double glass door ... see it wash :
