A
countertop dishwasher can be an interesting alternative
to large standard dishwashers. Especially when your kitchen
space is very limited these
countertop dishwashers usually
fit perfectly into small spaces between the cabinet and
the wall mounted cabinet. Before we get into details
of installing one, lets look at some basics about these
dishwashers explained using the danby dishwasher.
Overview on the danby portable countertop dishwasher
One
of the most common countertop dishwasher models is
the Danby. With approx. 17"H x 23"W x 20"D
this portable dishwasher can hold up to 4 place settings.
Typically enough for a one persons household. With a
d ish rack, cup rack and flatware basket everything can
be nicely stored. Weighing about 60 pounds it is a very
nice portable countertop dishwasher.
Preparation
and installation of any countertop dishwasher
Wherever
you plan to install a countertop dishwasher three
basic supplies need to be installed:
- Power Supply
- Water Supply
- Water
connection to the sink
Electricity
is coming from an ordinary kitchen socket. Water supply
is a little bit trickier. Being connected to your kitchen
faucets tube you might need an extra connector with
a tap on it. A simple wall mounted tap will do. Just
ask your local plumber for some advice and what
kind of faucet is available.
The
sewage is simply connected to your kitchen sink. Usually
just underneath your garbage disposer.
Again just talk to your plumber for any kind of easy
connection available for your existing tubes. All
in all if you plan your kitchen properly and foresee
the space where the portable countertop dishwasher should
go to, it is certainly one of the easier products to
be installed.
