Unlike the top load GE dishwashers, this machine has only one rack. The rack can be lifted out and the wash arm assembly can be removed which allows a plug to be inserted so that the chamber can be used as a regular sink; well, with a lid sticking up. There is no detergent dispenser, just a cup on the underside of the lid that is filled when the lid is open that then dumps the detergent when the lid is closed. There is a heating element in the tank, but if faster dishwashing is wanted, a 220 volt electric booster can be purchased for installation under the sink compartment. EXPO in Columbia, MD had one on the floor and it was soon marked down for clearance. This is like an answer to which there is no question. The two bowl sink takes up too much space for it to be used in a small kitchen and it costs too much to be used anywhere except in a high end installation. A larger kitchen would probably have room for a regular full size dishwasher, even if you had to use a single bowl sink. A home bar and maybe one of those master bedroom suites with a kitchenette would probably the place for one if the owner liked expensive appliance toys and had the space. In any kitchen, if you wanted to use the lid as counterspace for a food prep task, stuff could not be loaded to get dirties out of the way without moving work off the lid and that is an interruption to workflow. I think it is an expensive appliance toy; not that there is anything wrong with expensive appliance toys. If you had to have a small dishwasher like this, the undercounter F&P would make more sense, but if you want something bad enough, why let sense get in the way?
