DIY dishwasher?

gerardflanagan

I live in rented accommodation and our kitchen doesn't have plumbing for a dishwasher. Is there any way to have a dishwasher without doing the appropriate plumbing? Our landlord won't install one.

You can get a table top dish washer.
They are usually smaller and connect to the tap and drain in to the sink.

I once heard of someone using a supermarket trolley in the shower as their dishwasher. Is that DIY enough?:D

My brother had the poshest, yet most cheapskate wedding of the century, where the guests sat down to a five-course, fully white-china'd out meal. Much to our surprise, immediate family were then tasked with washing that load of white china and various glasses, as that was the deal he'd struck with his 'contact' in catering. We stood at the sink for half an hour, then my dad looked at my husband, they both nodded and everything went out into the garden in laundry baskets and was hosed down. Cheap, efficient and (reasonably!) effective!

We have been married 43 years and were invited to our daughter and partners brand new house for Christmas Dinner about a couple of of months before.

We had never had Christmas dinner anywhere but our own home, and they had never cooked a Christmas Dinner ever.

Just talking lightly after a couple of glasses of wine, and I said, take the pots up to our house and put them in the dishwahser.

Quickly a large cardboard box was filled up with plates, bowles, pans the lot and transported to my house lol
(The filled it and came back later and emptied it)

Maybe you have a nice neighbour with a dishwasher:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Do you have plumbing for a washing machine? If so you can get a Y adapter to split the inlet into a feed for the washing maching and the dishwasher.

You should be able to put the outlet hose from the dishwasher into the waste pipe the washing machine waste hose goes into. Just make sure both hoses are secure in the trap!
