It looks like a portable and is mobile, but its casters, top and side panels can be re moved when you’re ready to have it installed. This model is somewhat more expensive than a portable, but may save you money in the long run. My husband says that dish washers are not timesavers because I spend so much time getting dishes ready, loading and unloading. Are statistics available on this subject? Laboratory studies confirm that the time used for the complete process of clean-up and dishwashing is cut ap proximately in half with the use of a dishwasher.
