Oven space for dishwasher

[bhivetravels]

Has anyone removed their oven and replaced it with a dishwasher? While I think the space is the right amount, I'd then need to install a stand alone range on top of the dishwasher. Think it is doable?

Two plates, two forks, two knives, maybe two spoons and two glasses....two gallons of water to wash and rinse vs a dishwasher using up to 12 gallons each time it's used. Then there's the weight, 60# and power usage. If you or your SO like to cook, removing the oven seems counter-productive...Things to consider.

Since there's different strokes for different folks, to be able to accurately answer your question, it depends on the type and model of dishwasher you're considering. A countertop is about the size of a microwave but I'm assuming you're looking at a slimline. Every mfg posts specs on their units. Measure twice and cut once. Only you can determine how much effort will be spent with the changeout....Dennis

I know it is supposed to work that way but we seem to generate 5 times the amount of dishes that you would normally think! My biggest challenge is finding a stand alone gas range that will fit on top of the dishwasher.

I like cake and pie. My DW bakes great. I am keeping my oven. What about the
Plumbing changes?
