Dishwasher is one of the best inventions ever, ours broke recently and I hesitated to replace it as soon I'm ripping the kitchen out and extending/rebuilding it ect and want an integrated one so didn't want to buy a freestanding one that would be useless in a few months and the time without it was torturous, I estimate I was averaging one less cup of tea made and fetched to the couch each day while wor lass was busy washing dishes. I couldn't stand this much longer and bought an integrated one and screwed it in place temperate with studwork.
