Countertop dishwasher have been around for over 10 years. They are very popular in Japan and manufactured in Japan as well. About 20 manufacturers make these little dishwashers and none have a brand name except for Black and Decker & RCA and Magic Chef. They ALL FOLLOW THE SAME BLUEPRINT DESIGN. The differences are cosmetic, some have more cycles and more insulation. They all work very well. I recommend a SPT (Sunpentown),
Edge Star, or Farberware. Retail between $200-$300. You can buy one used for $100!
Granted it's in proper working condition, and you do not overload the dishwasher....yes.
One that fits under the countertop and is hard wired.
You can, but depending on the model you may have problems with water siphoning out of the dishwasher during operation. Putting in a high loop may prevent this, and running the drain to a countertop air gap device before passing through the floor should certainly prevent it.

Using the dishwasher with a high heat dry will work just find to sterilize bottles. As long as you boil them before the first use, you will be fine.
There are a few companies that make countertop dishwashers (Danby or Sunpentown for example) that are less than 21-inches deep, but built-in models are all deeper than 21-inches.

Granite is one of the toughest stones in the world and will not be affected by knives. After cutting directly on my granite countertop, I have experienced that my knives get dull after a few uses only. So cutting directly over a granite countertop will not affect the countertop material but it will affect the sharpness of your knife. I have installed granite countertop in my kitchen with the help of pros at countertopshop.net and mostly I avoid chopping things directly over the countertop. My granite kitchen countertop was installed around 4 years ago and still, it looks like a new one. Cheers!!
