Speaking of dishwashers

Does anyone have experience with "alternative" size dishwashers, suchas drawer models, narrow models, and so forth? I'm currently using atrusty old Kenmore apartment-size portable that I hide in the pantry;when it gives up the ghost, I'd like a built-in (not just for myconvenience but with an eye to home resale value eventually -- somedaywhen homes have resale value again, ha ha ha). I have a seriouslysmall kitchen, about 5 x 10, and only three base cabinets not countingunder the sink, so I want to give up as little space as possible.I've thought about installing a single drawer under the sink, butwonder if it would hold enough dishes to be practical (two drawerswouldn't fit there). A narrow model might allow me to keep half of abase cupboard. I've looked at new portables, but it has to beapartment size, which cost nearly as much as full size and havenowhere near the features (new ones don't even have as many featuresas my old one does). I'd like to use the pantry space for somethingbesides dishwasher storage, too. Any suggestions? Pitfalls toavoid?Jo Ann

There are other brands besides Fisher & Paykel.

There is also a sink/dishwasher option:

Holy crap, half the size at twice the price. Proabably handy for some people though.

I've seen other drawer machines, but they are the F&P with a different label on them..

Wow, if somebody knows a place where I can look at this, I'd love to check them out. The price is steep, but it sure is a creative idea for my situation.
