18 inch Dishwashers
Does anyone have them? How are they? There’s only two of us in the house and we have an 18″ space next to the sink. The 24″ location would be away from the sink, but little closer to the cabinets. Please help!!

SenatorStreet has a good point. That stub cabinet to the right of the fridge is pretty useless…and a waste of money given how cabinets are priced.
Would you consider a sink in the corner, a cab to the right and a 24in DW to the right of it?
My sister has a set up like that and she likes it. It seems to work.

How much space is between the fridge and the door? If it is 6″, move the fridge to the door casing and fit a 24″ dishwasher between the sink and the fridge.
If you have the space though I’d install the 24″ one…better for resale and I believe thay are actually cheaper if you’re not going really high end. The reason they are cheaper is that there are so many more of them made and sold than the 18″ ones (No one outside of NYC has hardly ever heard of them!!!). The only reason I even considered them was because of severe space constraints.
looks like the 24″ would be about 6″ away, or right behind you if you it is open and you are at the sink. it seems it would be closer to cabinetry (for unloading) too.
I put one in my tenants apartment 12 years ago. I’ve had three tenants since, everyone uses it the first month or so and then abandons it. If I were to do it over, I would because it’s a good selling point for the apartment, but for myself, I would prefer more storage. In my opinion, they are just too small to be really useful.
I had one in my Manhattan condo and I installed one in the country house as well. They are fine. There’s more than enough rooom in them for a few dinners for 2 people. If you have the space put it in.
We have an 18″ Miele that is quiet and works as well as any other dishwasher I’ve had. Bosch makes some quiet, quality models as well.
You can’t clean much in the way of pots and pans in a dishwasher this size, but we always did those by hand anyway.
