I once dreamed about one of those but decided against it when I
realized I would have to take it back to the sink to empty it. Ideal
would be a wall mounted faucet, a canning kettle with a drain at the
bottom and a bar sink next to the stove. If I were designing a
canning kitchen that is what I would want.

Shortly after we moved here the first thing we replaced was the
dishwasher. I could hear it from the other end of the house and I
could not get pots and pans in. The next thing was the stove. Just
didn't like it. We brought our refrigerator with us. Just replaced
it about a year ago.
