When I was growing up, we used the dishwasher to store our extra cups. When my parents redid the kitchen they took out the trash compactor and dishwasher. Of course, they bought the house to retire in and have no thoughts of moving anywhere for the rest of their lives.

I got so used to the art of handwashing that I never really considered what mainstream wants. In fact, I don’t know if I even know how to operate one.. or even what fancy detergents,etc I will need to get to supplement it. Time to google.

Thanks for the harsh dose of reality. Guess I’ll add “dishwasher” to the list.

It goes on the market March 11, so a little patience may be crucial.

However, I haven’t followed the sales release vs. Amazon availability in previous Apple products, so I can’t really provide anything other information.

=)
Best bet is to go to the Apple store directly.

So I came across the same question and came across this older thread in the search engine. Whoohoo!!

I’ve done some reach into the differing types of heaters – pros and cons. Here’s my short list:

Radiant Heaters:
– Look like >>THIS<<
– good for immediate heating in surrounding area
– limited to a person or two
– not good for heating large rooms
– no moving air, less likely to feel “dry”
– like the ones they have in the patio heaters

Resistance Convection Heaters:
– Ceramic Electric Heater looks like >>THIS<<
– has a fan to blow air on you
– may lower humidity in room
– could heat up an entire room

Oil Filled Electric Heaters:
– Oil Filled Heaters look like >>THIS<<
– heat slower than the resistance type above
– has no fan blowing
– probably the most cost/energy efficient
– probably the best for long-term heating in a room
– look pretty ugly

Fancy Micathermic:
– Looks like >>THIS<<
– combines both features of radiant and electric heaters

.. Also some Energy Efficiency and Safety considerations:
– automatic temperature controls to adjust (or turn on/off) based on ambient temperature
– reducing external surface heat to avoid contact burns
– automatic shut off in case of accidental “tipping”

So after all of that, I still don’t know which exact product i want to get. All I know is that I am very very cold at nights.

Suggestions of actual products which balance price and function?

Edit:
As a good reference…

Pretty sure I would go with some sort of convection heating element.. not oil filled.
