Thanks for the pics! That’s worse energy efficiency than I would’ve guessed. I thought dishwashers were pretty efficient when it comes to both electricity and water usage, so I wonder what it is about putting it on a bench that makes it less efficient. You have to load it with cold water, right? That might be it. I think normal dishwashers generally connect up to the hot water pipe and then heat it as needed
I’m also wondering whether double decker models exist and are worthwhile. That seems like an alright amount of space, although you’d really need to practice loading and work out how much you can fit in it without ruining it’s cleaning capabilities
Is it heavy? Are you able to move it yourself? Any risk of leaving gouge marks on the bench do you reckon?
(Also heads up your partial reflection is in your last 2 photos on the tiles if you wanted to remove them)
Yeah I was a bit sad to see such low energy efficiency :( And the water efficiency isn’t amazing either. Loading is annoying so I would possibly have gone for something bigger. But at least I have something.
Yeah it’s cold water, it must heat it by itself.
I was able to move it by myself with a little difficulty. It was very big and awkward in the box but not as bad out. I dragged the whole thing over and then was able to deadlift the unboxed unit onto the bench.
Yeah. Maybe it’s kind of like dryers and more expensive models are more efficient. Pretty typical rich get richer type thing. Ah well, please if you don’t mind share some updates in a month or two as you’ve used it more and gotten used to all its little quirks!
Yeah I think that’s absolutely the case. This was a Big W buy so maybe Appliances Online might have offered something more efficient for a bit more money.
I just was desperate to sort my kitchen out and got something cheaper sooner

Edit: Thanks bro I removed them

Yeah, I get that. Dishes are my biggest struggle with cleaning. I probably won’t get one for a few months, but when I do I’ll be so happy
Go enjoy your dishy!
