KitchenAid was owned by Hobart. Hobart made commercial food equipment--dishwasher, mixers, garbage disposers and the like. KitchenAid was the brand name for domestic (home market) dishwashers, mixers, and diposers. KitchenAid sold its domestic line and brand name to Whirlpool in 1985 or so. The 21 series was the first Whirlpool produced, but still looked pretty much like a KitchenAid from the old days. I just checked, an KUDS21 user manual had a copyright date of 9/87.

Thanks Ben and everyone else that has posted these scans. They really make one want a vintage Kitchen Aid. It seems sad that in this day and age that we can no longer buy a dishwasher of this quality. | ||

Ben and washertalk:
Ben: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I've been looking for this brochure for some time, and here it is, for free! I really appreciate your sharing this. washertalk: The reason for offering both brushed chrome and stainless was that appliances made of both materials were offered back then, and the two metals are of slightly different colours. Chrome has a bluish cast, and stainless is a bit more brown. Brushed chrome was a slightly cheaper alternative to stainless used by a lot of manufacturers back then. Given that KitchenAid was marketed to a more upscale (read: pickier) consumer, it made sense to offer a match for both materials. Believe it or not, there are people who can spot the difference from thirty feet away, and there is no one more obsessive than someone building a high-end kitchen. Also, KitchenAid was likely to be specified by high-end architects, who are even more particular than most consumers. KitchenAid was the very best you could buy at that time; there was no competition from luxury imports like Asko or Bosch then. | ||

OMG! That first page is my Grandmothers Dishwasher
In deorator copertone no less! I always wondered why the knob was on the bottom on those dishwashers, I guess that when you have two selections, that would be why.She had an Imperial, For that matter, both my Grandmas' had an Imperial.I see alot of those at Estate sales here in Portland, almost every house, they were very popular in the day.They have that classic KitchenAid sound to them. I am lucky enough to have one! They never die, just get emptied and ran and ran again!

Greg, that's all you gonna put in that load in the KDS56? well no wonder it's 1/4 full, ya got that big bowl in the bottom rack. Can't put didddly squat in the top rack above it. Why I disdain the 1-level KAs and was never a fan of them. I didn't like KAs until the 18 series. I did BobLoads in KDS15 and KDS16 models when growing up. Our Waste King did a better job on stuff in the top rack when I loaded the KA like a normal machine that had more than one wash level. I know I'm pissing off a bunch of people here, but, I just never liked being constrained by a 1-level wash. I was just as frustrated with our 1959 Waste King because it had only 1 wash level.

Bob - I tend to agree with you about the pre-18 KA's but they are a very admirable breed of machine nonetheless. It's difficult to see, but I do have three large pottery/crockery bowls in the top rack - they're black and sort of disappear in the picture. I started loading with those three bowls Friday and decided it was easier to run it this way than to move everything to the bottom rack. The black bowls weren't really soiled - just needed to splash the thrift store dust from them. | ||
