18" Dishwasher?
I’m fixing up the kitchen in a parlor-floor 1-bedroom apartment in preparation for rental. I would like to install a dishwasher, but have space only for an 18″ model. Any recommendations?

You should try the PC Richards on 23rd St. in Manhattan. They have floor models of several 18″ dishwashers. I liked the GE (Monogram ?). Its interior seemed sturdy and it maximized loading space.
I had a really bad experience with AJ madison several years ago… they switched brands on me for a major appliance, then told me it was the same thing when it was not. To be fair, they did (eventually) refund and take the appliance away. But I would still be wary.
GE destroyed the Hudson River by dumping PCB’s and is still fighting the order to clean it up. NEVER even buy a lightbulb from GE.
try AJ MADISON… they usually are best for compact appliances. in general 18″ dishwashers don’t last or work as well as 24″, but the technology is improving.
good luck on your search!
Thanks everyone. I’m off to PC Richards to go shopping.
I would bet with the exception of Miele & Bosch, one manufacturer makes the same unit with a different nameplate for all of the US brands.
also have the 18″ GE Monogram. also got it from PC Richards. it’s my first dishwasher. very pleased with it.
We bought a Kenmore for our rental–it’s probably a Whirlpool or GE. It was very reasonable price-wise and the tenant loves it.
have the 18inch GE. works fine but not silent, I sometimes wonder if the racks could be organized better and have been thinking of looking for alternative racks, but all in all very happy.
