prospera Okay, I have this dishwasher. It is in an island next to the sink. The sink is at normal level. My dishwasher touches the floor. If it were raised, it seems to me that the sink would no longer be in line with it and very awkward to load from sink to dishwasher. This must stick up at least a foot above normal counter height. It's interesting that the photo is cropped so as not to show this. The comparison would be the washers and dryers with the drawer underneath. Add to that the thickness of the countertop and the counter above would be decorative only. I have that type of washer and dryer and it is too high to fold laundry on it. I agree with the bending part. My warming drawer is higher because of that. On this particular dishwasher, the bottom rack is the only one that I have to bend to use. I place the dishes in in groups, rather than having to repeat.
5. Universal design. Once you see a raised dishwasher, you will wonder why dishwashers were ever designed to be placed down to the floor. If you have the room to do this, it's wonderful for those with bad joints or knee problems. Universal design is in the forefront of state-of-the art design.
A dishwasher is a luxurious addition to a morning kitchen that gets a lot of use. You'll want an ultra-quiet model to maintain the serenity of your space. You'll also want a model that is available panel-ready to blend into the room.
