Ikea Dishwasher


Anyone out there buy a dishwasher from Ikea?

I am looking for a very basic dishwasher for my rental unit because dishwashers save so much water. From what I can tell, it seems like the best value/capacity/energy efficiency for the money, and the lowest-rung one seems to have very few frills (ie, very few things that could break).

Anyone out there with real-life experience?

Beating The Toto Drake


I am choosing a toilet for a rental unit.

Ruggedness is therefore critical–I don’t want to be going down there to fix it.

(not that I wouldn’t, mind you. I’m not a sleazy landlord-to-be. I would just rather buy something that will work…)

Cost is also important. I won’t be pooping in it, so it won’t thrill me personally.

I want the best, cheapest toilet I can get.

And efficiency is critical. I hate inefficient anything.

The Drake seems to be the toilet to beat according to these criteria, but I figured I would ask you all as well.

Happy New Year!
