Versatility and convenience are the hallmarks of KitchenAid's briva dishwasher. The in-sink unit can be used in tandem with a full-size dishwasher or serve as an auxiliary accessory for wet bars, butler's pantries and outdoor kitchens. With a 14-inch-deep stainless steel interior, four wash cycles and an optional water heater (which can decrease wash time to as little as 18 minutes), the briva can accommodate a wide range of loads, from pots and pans to delicate stemware or up to five place settings. Furthermore, the dishwasher can be converted into an extra sink or a food prep area with a few simple steps. The briva sells for $2,000 to $2,500. Call KitchenAid's Builder Assistance line at 800/253-3977 or visit www.insideadvantage.com for more information.
