At least one manufacturer, KitchenAid, has used a heated, forced air
drying system since as early as the mid-1950s. The fan is concealed
under the tub, the the heated air enters the tub and circulates to
accelerate drying. Having had several K/A dishwashers over the years,
I'm surprised that more manufacturers don't incorporate a similar system.
