hmm. interesting washer $50 New York

We don't get to see any pics of the entire washer, instead, just the underside of the lid will suffice.
oh, and...

It's broken. It washes, but it doesn't spin.

And,
they want money for it. those damn New Yorkers.

Not smart enough, or energetic enough to fix. not going to spend any money for a service call. nope.

But, we just can't let it go for less than $50

this is as basic as a European dishwasher can get, this Turkish Arcelik dishwasher has only 2 programmes and are similar 1's in Turkey that are like that, even 1 from Bosch.

Its CUTE !

How wide is it?

Is that the typical width of DWs there?

It seems like the timers are usually on the left side of the panel?

It looks like a mongoloid child smiling.

that's more or less the standard size of European dishwashers along with models that are slimmer in size for smaller kitchens. The dial is found on either side of the control panel which is the norm. It seems Turkey is the only country to have basic 2 programme dishwashers while elsewhere in Europe, the bare minimum is 4.

What a tribute to the BOL's. I'm actually liking that GE in Reply 4 because I appreciate a clean design(before Apple's foray into that expression). I know it's nice to have a door to access ice, water, etc. but only if it's
hidden til needed. Anyways....thanks for posting a P.O.V. seldom seen. Luckily the builder BOL's choices we
experienced were the bare minimums. Today's BOL ...would they hold up to the BOL's of say, the 50's, 60's?
Kinda doubt it.
