How To Have A Dishwasher In Your Apartment

Written by Evan Watkins on January 22, 2014. Posted in Apartment Living, Kitchens & Dining Rooms

There are a lot of great things about living in an apartment, but one of the downsides is that most don’t have built-in dishwashers. If you like to cook but hate doing dishes, this can be particularly frustrating. However, it doesn’t have to be a deal breaker! There are ways to get around it and add a dishwasher to your apartment kitchen. Here’s how:

Choose the right apartment. When you’re looking for an apartment, make sure you choose one with enough space for a dishwasher. Many apartments are designed with kitchens that can accommodate a dishwasher if needed.

Buy the right dishwasher. The type of dishwasher you buy will depend on where you want to place it and what sort of hookups your home has available. Portable dishwashers allow you to roll the unit out whenever you need it and roll it back when you don’t—perfect if you don’t want the washer cluttering up your kitchen all the time!

Choose a professional installation team. Once you

You can now have a dishwasher in your apartment, even if you live in the city. All you need is a little elbow grease and some ingenuity and you will be up and running in no time.

Use the following guide to ensure that you do it properly:

1) Buy a dishwasher. We recommend the “Compact Dishwasher” from GE.

2) Make sure that your apartment has a kitchen. If it doesn’t, this is not going to work.

3) You will need a power outlet within 12 inches of your kitchen sink, as well as access to a water supply. If you don’t have these things, you can use an extension cord and water hose to make it happen.

Having a dishwasher in your apartment can be very helpful and convenient, but it’s not an easy install. You need to have the space for one, and you need to have access to a water line to run the dishwasher.

This is how I managed to get this done in my apartment:

1. I purchased a portable dishwasher that comes on wheels and can be moved around easily. It has a faucet attachment that connects directly to my sink.

2. I bought a water line extension kit from Home Depot. This basically gives you all the parts you need to connect your faucet directly to your sink.

3. I had my building superintendent install the water line extension kit for me as this requires cutting into walls and plumbing work, which is not something I could do myself.

4. I plugged in the dishwasher into an existing outlet under my kitchen sink, and then attached it to my kitchen faucet using the special adapter that came with it. And now I’m able to have a dishwasher in my apartment!

If you are anything like me, your apartment doesn’t have a dishwasher. But if you are anything like me, you’d love to have one. Most apartments don’t come with this luxury but that doesn’t mean you can’t get one for yourself! I am going to outline a few tips and options for getting your very own dishwasher in your home.

As with most things in life, you have a couple options when it comes to finding a dishwasher. You can buy one or you could rent one. If you think an apartment dishwasher is something you’ll use often, buying would be best bet. But if you only want it for a short amount of time or not sure if it’s right for you, renting would be the way to go.

Renting:

If renting is the way to go, there are many companies that will rent all sorts of appliances including dishwashers, refrigerators, and even washers/dryers. Renting from a company is usually very simple and straightforward. All you need is good credit (or some form of collateral) and solid rental history; it’s as easy as that! The company will deliver the appliance and install it free of charge! Once installed all the renter needs to do is pay

Nowadays it is becoming more common to want to have a dishwasher in your apartment. The benefits of a dishwasher outweigh the costs. The first thing you will need to install one is to make sure your apartment has the right hookup. This usually means that you need to have both an under sink drain and an electrical outlet near your sink. If you don’t have these, talk with your landlord about having them installed before you buy your dishwasher.

After these are taken care of, you will need to find a dishwasher that fits in your kitchen space but still offers all of the features that you want from a dishwasher. There are many models on the market today. You will also need to consider things like whether or not you want it to be quiet or very energy efficient. Some models have extra features such as a bottle washer or silverware tray. You might also want to consider getting an integrated model that fits into your cabinetry rather than standing out as an appliance.

The actual installation of a dishwasher in an apartment is quite easy. The apartment complex will usually have pre-existing plumbing and electrical lines that can be used to install the dishwasher with little difficulty.

However, renting an apartment with a dishwasher installed can be tricky. Many communities may have policies against installing dishwashers. Others may allow them only if they meet certain requirements. It’s important to read your rental agreement carefully before signing to make sure you understand what you can and cannot do in regards to installing a dishwasher.

If you intend to buy or rent a place without a pre-installed dishwasher, there are some things you can do to increase your chances of having one installed:

* Ask the landlord about their policy on installing appliances before signing anything. Make sure your lease doesn’t include any stipulations about not installing major appliances like washers or dryers.

* Find out from your landlord what the process for installing one of these appliances would be; how long it will take, how much it will cost (if anything) etc.* Look for apartments that have space for a dishwasher already built into them even if there isn’t one installed yet. If there’s room for one but none installed, this will probably mean that the plumbing
