Robert just think about the "fab" dinner party you can have with no worry of not having enough dishwasher space! What fun! | ||

very cool This might be a dumb question, but is the Kitchenaid permanantly portable? Or could you remove the cabinet and build it in? With three dishwashers you are set for one heck of a smart dinner party! | ||

What color is that Kitchen-aid? It's sort of a tan/pink salmon pink mixture, different than the pure 50's pink of the Frigidaire. The color is very odd and does not photograph well, it comes out different in every picture I take. Bob, it's some shad of coppertone theme Well SLAP, not in my Kitchen mister! hmmmmph :) (and scare poor Gladys out of her mind!) Washers and dishwashers don't bother her, even with the big slams of powerful solenoids, 'cause there might be a morsel of food somewhere on the floor for her to find. but is the Kitchenaid permanantly portable? Hi Jeff, for now it's a portable, I could build a counter at the end of the kitchen where it is in picture 2, but its sort of fun to roll it up to the sink. | ||

Hello, Roberto
How do you like the wringer washer version of dishwashers---Isn't it a ball ! Wheeling it up, sliding the hoses up from their little house, the clean crisp snap of the coupler, plugging in the cord, listening to the unmistakeable squish/rush of the draining water, the wonderful steam, the grand smells you can create depending on your soaps. Then later, uncoupling, sliding the hoses back, unplugging, and wheelback. ALL DONE. It's wringer dishwasher heaven. | ||

not to worry
Hi Tom, the model I have has a little red button on the unicoupler that gives you water through a bottom spout if you press it while the dishwasher is running. It also relieves pressure when the load is done so the coupler comes off without a fuss or a squirt, just another lovely part of the "clean-up" ritual of wringer dishwashing.

Hey Jeff after rereading this thread I realized I misunderstood your question. Yes you can very easily convert this dishwasher into an under-counter dishwasher, you simply remove the cabinet, top and wheels and you are ready to build this right in under an empty counter. They actually refer to these dishwashers as a “Convertible” for that very reason. Hmmm, now where have I heard that name before (yay for the vacuum convention). It's wringer dishwasher heaven. I love my wringer dishwasher Mikeyd! OK, now which of the three machines cleans the best? The KitchenAid is best on pots and pans, the Westinghouse and Frigidaire are both best for dishes, glassware and coffee pots. The Frigidaire is especially ideal for washing long stem wine glasses. The KitchenAid is the most powerful and seems to have a tendency to knock the dishes and bowls into each other during the wash cycle so that is something I generally want to avoid since all of our dinnerware is at least 50 years old. another blonde moment for Shane Hey, watch it there mister, some of my most favorite people are blonde! Also, what's this I see in your kitchen, a modern *DRIP* coffee maker??? SLAP! =) Yes I know, I know, LOL but a dripper is just easier at 5:30am. The only thing better than hooking the dishwasher to the kitchen faucet is to have an additional faucet for the portable dishwasher Very true Tom, nothing that a extra little plumbing can’t fix! does it have a separate pump for drain? Yes it does Bob. Robert~ funny how the coffeemaker was a "modern" coffeemaker in the first picture... and magically became a Sunbeam Coffeemaster in the second picture. Shhhhh, Fred you are giving away a couple of my secrets :) I can just see Neil rolling his eyes. :-) Jon Neal wouldn’t roll his eyes at that, he knows how happy it makes me to have three dw in the kitchen, and he gets a clean kitchen then. Robert is that something new that you have on the right hand side of the sink?? looks like some sort of spice rack. Really neat! Hi Terry, no that spice rack has always been there. Neal made it in high school shop class and then he thought it would be cute to paint it turquoise to match my favorite color. | ||

Robert, A word to the wise: never attempt to open the door on the dishwasher until the heavy cast iron wash arm has stopped turning. It has a lot of mass and momentum and it can easily fling substantial amounts of water in your face even after the pump has shut off. I know this from my top-loading version of your machine (a few years earlier). And then there's that famous ad for the top loader, with the sump filled, the lid up, the pump energized, and a geyser of water showering out the top. Also, try running the dishwasher with no racks (and of course, no dishware). The low pitched drumming sound may be heard throughout the home. Quite impressive. | ||

So Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy--Gotcha

Do have some blue and whiite Wedgewood( unblown??--the kind that doesn't shine, flat finish) , but I don't eat of it. | ||

Very nice KitchenAid, Robert! That Big Blue Wash Arm is not to be messed with :) I love "wringer" dishwashers, half of my dishwashers, including my present one, have been wringer machines. Way superior to standing at the sink for hours a week, ruining the manicure. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Hi Robert Love the new KitchenAid!It's nice having choices. Your kitchen is beautiful! Something that caught my eye... OT... The floor. Is that a VCT floor? If so, what kind of sealer and wax do you use on it? It's soo shiny! Do you buff it? | ||

Hi Bethann! Boy it’s always nice to see you posting. The floor is VCT, we combined two different brands that we found at our local Color Tile store. As for the Wax, I’ve only waxed it once since it was installed a few years back, it was something I bought at Home Depot. I can try and find the name if you wish?

Next time your in there if you don't mind see if they still carry it. The floor in the Turquoise room has two coats of sealer and three coats of wax. There is lots of traffic through there though. I think that might be part of the problem. Plus I need to find a reasonable commercial buffer. | ||
