Anybody have a Dehco dishwasher?

We are think about ordering a dishwasher in our new coach. The newmar dealer installs Dehco. We can't find much on the Internet about the brand. Wondering if it is a residential style or drawer style and about reliability. Appreciate any info -- thanks!
PS Don't need commentary on why we don't need one LOL!
  • We have one and we use it to store our dishes in. Works great freeing up a lot of cupboard space

    Is the reason the dealer is installing it, is because your model does not offer a Dishwasher option? Doug


    Yes, Doug, that's correct.
    For some reason, Newmar, only offers that option in Dutch Star and higher end coaches. Before we installed it, we made sure there were no technical reasons, such as electrical or weight on the kitchen slide, that it shouldn't be done.

    holly cow I will have to read dates on topics before I waste my time replying.Thanks for the heads up
  • Thanks for the responses.
    Zeke, I have never been able to figure out how to post pictures here, either!
    The dishwasher actually is a Vesta drawer model. The Fischer-Paykel would not fit in the space we have.
    We haves used the Vesta for several months and so far are pleased. It is a bit small, so we are using smaller plates, but have no complaints. The loss of 2 drawers might be a problem for some folks, but we have plenty of other storage.

    when u were looking at ordering a new coach would the dealer not tell you what style it is? Most all Rv dish washers are drawer when factory installed but maybe this Newmar Dealer installs something different. Factory installs are usually most always fisher&paykel
    drawer style
    Personally I would go with a factory installed fisher& paykel drawer model they work great and are very good product
  • Never heard of them. But searched and found they are built by Frigidare. Most common built in Dishwasher in motorhomes is the Fisher/Paykel. But it appears the Dehco is cabinet top to floor and bigger. The Fisher/Paykel is a "Drawer" mount and about 1/2 the size of the Dehco. The Dehco will accommodate more dishes than the Fisher/Paykel. So, do you want a drawer type or do you want to lose the extra drawers and cabinet space with the Dehco? Both are about the same price. Doug
  • I don't own one but I have a couple photos... it is a drawer style dish washer not residential. This is a stupid way of attaching photos, so I don't know if you will get the photos or not. But it is a drawer style.
