I was browsing some real estate yesterday and saw this picture.
How does that work? The dishwasher right under the sink?
If the counter is say 30" deep and the dishwasher is 24" deep, that gives about 6" to fit the p-trap in?
I guess no garbage disposer?
One has to pull out the dishwasher if the sink backs up?

It was a GE invention. The dishwasher is constructed with a "nook" for the drain, and ANY sink GE makes has room for a "disposer" since they make them.

Good to know.
Hmmm...but the top of the dishwasher starts right below the countertop, so that means the body of the DW behind the front cover must be at least 6 or 8 inches lower to just accommodate the depth of the sink? And further back a nook for the drain?
Must be a real compact design.

The top is recessed for the sink and the drain is in the rear right corner. Like many of GEs kitchen "innovations" the plumbing has to be in exactly the right spot.

So it's like a step step looking from behind, and have to do cut out in the adjacent cabinet too.
That seems like a lot of work.

I am not sure because that was their "progress is our most important product" about 20 years ago, and I doubt that they still make it. Just like their refrigerator/freezer hanging on the wall 20 years before that.

The next big idea is a washer/dryer combo unit that sorts, washes, dries, folds, put away, then repeat another load like a 30 disc CD changer, and when done, all that water is saved up into a black hole, ready to flush your toilet with it.
Also a robot to flush down the toilet, to transmit images back to your phone. You use your phone to tell it to walk, climb, swim in the sewer, and when it sees oil and grease it releases an agent to scour and dissolve it, if it see roots it trims it and then spray a plastic epoxy resin coating on the inside of the pipe to create a new seal, it transmit a precious GPS coordinate so you know exactly where it is. It can even look sort through the entire pipe to look for a diamond ring flushed down there.

Actually, I have a friend building a 'tiny home' and he is THRILLED with the D/W being under the sink.
They will plan the exterior siding/sheathing around the need to 'open 'er up' if necessary.
$799 msrp
Front panel & 'kick plate' accept custom trim panels for kitchen match.

YOu do not have to "open er up". You just pull it out like any other dishwasher.
