My kitchen is relatively small so we dont have room for a 24 inch dishwasher. Would an 18 incher be worth our time to install it? Ive never seen an 18" dw in a home. Im just wondering if there are hidden cons to these other than size.

I put one in one of my rental units several years ago. Worked okay for one person but it was more expensive than a comparable 24-inch unit. I think at the time Sears was the only place to get it.

It's a specialty item, possibly special order, so you won't see them on sale.

Let me know if you need anything else.

no, but some parts are more expensive due to rarity, but no harder to work on.

I saw a 16" the other day, I had neve seen one that small, I thought 18" was the smallest. 18's are very common in the French Quarter.

I know the one I have in my apartment is not full size, so I would guess its 18". It works well for my wife and I and yes it beats having to wash everything by hand.
