Just wondering what is typical for new dishwashers these days. Will a single 15 amp circuit do or should I go with a 20 amp or even higher?
Also is there anything wrong with making the dishwasher a plugin? Normally they are hard wired, but it's easier to install if it's made to plug in. I have to run a circuit while someone else will install the dishwasher, so I want to ensure it's ready to go and to code. Installing a plug just seems cleaner, but guess it wont matter since I won't see it after anyway.
