Dishwasher advice for Sarah's mid-century kitchen

[gagnonrhys]

I took a fancy of using a commercial size dishwasher https://mcdonaldpaper.com/jet-tech-...nter-dishwasher-24-racks-per-hour-energy-star. This unit is cleaning dishes much more fast than the previous one we had. High temperaures it’s using is necessary for abiding sanitizing norms and better cleaning.

I actually have the same vintage KA that was posted.  It's a neat thing too look at and have but it is small an a bit difficult to load.  Mine is a gravity drain, so that is a bit of an issue for me as mine is in my basement collection.  My take - daily driver - no,  Collection -yes.

When I searched for a small items basket for the dishwashers online, I also found some clips that attach to the racks that can be positioned to hold down light weight items so that they don't fly around. I also have a couple of racks from microwave/convection ovens and the small side oven of the GE 40" range that are just the right size to put in the top rack on top of lightweight items to hold them down when they want to go on the water park rides.

KA Gravity drain

My 1945 house had the Hobart combo sink/dishwasher. Now I know why the drain pipe was so low to the floor. Had to almost cut the entire back of the sink cabinet out to get under the plumbing to fix floor damage.

Sounds cool

Not that I want a combination dishwasher sink, but I sure would like to see a picture of one.
