	A compact dishwasher is smaller in size as compared to the standard 24-inch sized dishwasher. Being only about 18 inches wide, compact dishwashers are a best fit for small kitchens. They are the most economical of all models and need a counter or stand to be located close to the sink. They usually offer less number of available wash programs and tend to be less energy efficient than larger machines, typically in the drying portion of a cycle. Newer models now have some enhanced washing cycles and heated drying.		A compact dishwasher is smaller in size as compared to the standard 24-inch sized dishwasher.

 ===History and Background===
-There is an interesting history behind the development of dishwashers. The very first dishwasher was invented by Joel Houghton which was patented in 1850. It was then called "Table furniture cleaning machine" as shown in Figure 1. It was essentially a wooden machine with a hand-operated wheel that splashed water on dishes but it barely worked. In 1865, L.A. Alexander patented a  device that used a hand crank and gearing to spin a rack of dishes through the dishwater which again did not function effectively. Later in 1886, Josephine Cochrane patented the invention of first practically operational dishwasher. The inspiration behind her invention was chipping of her fine chinaware due to the harsh handling it suffered by her servants. She unveiled her invention and showcased the dishwasher in 1893 World Fair, Chicago where she received enormous recognition from friends, hotels and restaurant owners. She then started a production factory to manufacture the dishwashers and called the company [[Media:Dishwasher news.pdf |KitchenAid]][[Image:fileicon-pdf.png|15 px]], which is one of the well-known brands of Whirlpool today.
