Even if you used it as a donor unit, the price is worth it. Would make a nice built in too. Too bad it has that drab control panel. But Hey, that isnt what washes the dishes! Good Luck! |

I know EXACTLY the woman you are buying from! I bought her Hamilton Beach Mixer and Saw that Dishwasher!! I was going to ask her if it was for sale, but at the moment, I just can't take on something like that! I forget where she was moving to, but she was VERY Nice, she asked if I wanted her cuckoo clock and I had a difficult time saying no. Tell Janna, Brant who bought her mixer says Hello! |

Does the bottle of cough syrup or whatever that is come with it, or is that extra? ;) |

I know this may sound sacriligeous to some of you, but when KitchenAid went from the 17a to the 18 series, added the middle spray arm, and moved the large dish tines from the center of the lower rack to the left side, they may have improved the washing performance of their machines, but they destroyed the Maytag-like simple perfection of their design. Our KDP-18 was a great machine, but it wasn't a classic like our KDC-17a.

Are you annoying your wife again with that switcheroo rack thing ?????? You're too funny. Good Thread. So which wash arm is better on the upper rack ? The Shortie or the Longer One ? I have both. I'm kinda loyal to the original shortie as it is the Original that came with the machine, but if the larger increases the pressure to the HydroSweep, I'd reconsider. Eddie

I have the 18 in the kitchen and love the racking, Fred and Pat both commented on the ease of loading it. Fred has a beautiful 17 in his kitchen for a daily driver and it would be like pulling teeth to get that out of his life now. Once you get used to loading the single-arm models, you love them. When we were "kitchening" in the basement during remodeling, I used the KDS-56 portable and fell in love with that design too. There's nothing like pulling out the racks of clean dishes from a KitchenAid. Spectacular! The 'reverse' racking of the Maytag dishwashers was really nice as well, once past the slight learning curve, you could really pack those machines full and get fantastic results although the cutlery basket needed more careful loading than the KA. This is the WU-601 I had in my old kitchen before the remodel. |

And another one surfaces...I emailed the lady on this one and she said it was in good condition. The only question is that she said the dishes need a pre rinse before she throws them in this dishwasher....

So my first vintage dishwasher was dropped off 30 minutes ago for a cool $100! The girl and guy told me that they bought the dishwasher 2 years ago from a guy who restores vintage appliances. The outside could use some help, but the inside is unbelievable!! Sparkling porcelain, shiny 4 way Hydro-Sweep, and new looking racks! The woman said she ran the last load this am and was almost misty eyed at leaving it. I assured her that it would be in good hands. I'll post pics as soon as possible.
