I could have handled the install myself, but I'm at the stage where I can afford to pay to have it done as my time is worth more, and besides, the old one goes away...no advertising or selling.
My first call was to my friendly local appliance dealer, that I've dealt with for over 20 years. No go...most appliances are backordered till ?? Big Box stores get the lion's share of production, which is trying to catch up after last year's shutdown.
My entire point is...why the hell do they send out a dishwasher with the shortest hose available assuming that's what the job requires? Give each truck a couple each of 4, 6, and 8 ft. hoses. Avg retail is about $20 per, with about 50 cents variance from shortest to longest.
Solves problem of pissed customer, and having to run a truck with two men back again, having been paid once An option on hose length on ordering might be another idea.
