Dishwasher Thrills


Dishwasher Thrills
Originally uploaded by sunasak.
So, why is there a blog entry about a dishwasher? I am so thrilled to finally have it, and so impressed that Lee the Manly one installed it solo.

You see, the dishwasher that came with the house ten years ago was not as nice as all the other appliances. It was not the absolute bottom of the line, but close. And it never got things really clean, ever. Always left deposits, grit and bits of rice everywhere. I have disliked it since I got it, but you hate to replace "a perfectly good dishwasher."

But, since we already got the lovely fridge...we'd looked at the dishwashers then. And we were in Home Depot on another mission yesterday, when lo and behold, there was a floor model, $150 off (plus $50 gift card). That made the second-best tier well within my range, woo. So now I have all the adjustments, added thingies, stainless steel liner and cycles I could possibly want.

When we test washed, Older Boy couldn't even tell it was going! And whoa, the clean glassware was cleaner than I ever saw it. I want to wach everything we own, just to shine it up.

I am proud of myself for being so careful when I was out of work that I could afford this little luxury. Now with modern washer and dryer (thanks to Lee), fridge (ditto) and dishwasher, I feel so good appliance-wise. And not to forget the lovely freezer full of yummy stuff Lee brought, too!

So, here's to the dishwaher, pictured in its first wash phase ever!

Truly it is a thing of beauty. I have appliance envy.

You and me both, Vicki. I'd love to have a dishwasher. That said, I
do have a Doug and he generally does the dishes . . . but it would make his life easier and mine too sometimes.

Ooooooh, pretty shiny uber dishwasher. I'd love to have a dishwasher... but our goofy 120 year-old kitchen is laid out so strangely, there's no spot where you could put a dishwasher.

This looks really great, and it is all the more wonderful to have a "gourmet" quality fridge and dishwasher, after having had to make do with kinda crummy appliances for so long.

And hats off to Lee for being an expert appliance installer! Yay!
