Stand alone portable dishwasher?

Our last rig had a dishwasher, and this one does not. My wife filled the bottom two drawers with a dish rack, soap, towels, scrubbers, and said there! "When you rip out those two drawers and install the dishwasher you promised, I wont miss the space because we won't need any of that junk anymore!" After every meal, she gets up and pulls out the bottom drawer and says "oh, that's not a dishwasher" and walks away. :)

When I'm washing dishes, I'm always standing alone.

I know that feeling Dick, I know that feeling, only my wife passed on so I'm not only the chief dishwasher (She used to do that) but the Chief Cook (We both did that.. Me being the superior cook).

(in another post in another area I explained why, I learned to read for fun.. Turns out it makes recipes easier to follow). (Alas that post refused to post)

But I'd like to know who makes the SMALLEST portable or counter top dishwasher.. After all.. I'm very "Cramped" in this house.

There is actually a drain pipe piece that replaces your current under sink elbow that directly connects the drain on the Fisher. The water is already there and they use a 110 volt out for power.

So the only work would be to frame out the new one.

We really love our F/P. We add dishes and plates for about three days and then run it in the evening. It is sooooo quiet, you can't hear it run. It actually uses less water than washing by hand. We're not lazy, but often dishes sat in the sink until after dinner. Now they go directly into the washer until it's full.

Since your coach is new, also think about Winnebago just making you any wood work you might need, like a frame or cabinet door.

Thanks for the reply. I installed a Vesta in our '07 Endeavor. It was a snap. The wood working was the easiest part. We loved having squeaky clean plates.

The sink in our 2016 Journey is stationary. There is no way to put a dishwasher under the stove in the full wall slide. I can't get the drain line to the gray line. In the other kitchen slide, I would loose all our under cabinet space. The drain and water line would also be a challenge. We have a small cart we use for the coffee maker. The foot print of the stand alone dishwasher is not all that much bigger, and we can put the coffee maker on top of it.

There are several portable and counter top dish washers. I would not consider any of these to be a reasonable option in an RV due to the amount of space required but they will likely all do the job intended.

YMMV
