Odd looking machine, it looks like it might be less than 24" wide, but I can't tell for sure...

This is one of the very, very few top-loading dishwashers that ever interested me, and if I A) had the room, and B) it were closer, I might C) get it. Since A) and B) do not apply..... :) Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Exactly as I remember them. Not a bad little dishwasher although they are loud. | ||

Super Surge
The 3 levels are the 1)base,2)the center of the arm which has perferations in it that spray horizontaly outword onto the plate's faces and bases.Then the top which sprays upword for glassware,coffee cups,bowls and outword for saucers and smaller plates.I only wish SOMEBODY had the FRIGIDARE information video player that used to be around!It had all the features and showed their wonderful Super Surge computor developed wash system in action as well as the 7 bladed stainless steel pulverizer which ground up any and all food particles that washed off the dishes,no pre rinsing.I had the front loading,convertible Custom Imperial model that had 5 level Super Surge wash action.

The "Jack-in-the-box" racks that "gently rise up to meet you" copy has interesting overtones. Mechanically it solves the access problem but I wonder how much capacity is lost with all the extra rack wiring. To each his own. I guess some people still like avocado and 70's styling. But, sorry, overall, that thing is utt-buggly. | ||

SuperSurge?
Intriguing. Bob, wasn't this the machine that cavitated with air all the time, hence the surging action? Considering this is how some machines dealt with china/light conditions so as to reduce the water force, I'm thinking this machine would not exactly clean the chrome off a Caddy, so to speak. Nevertheless, extremely cool and a decided conversation piece! This'd be one of those machines--like the rotating-cylinder Tappan--that I'd have just for pure coolness' sake :-) | ||

Yes Nate you are absolutely right! I used 4 different SuperSurge dishwashers from 1967 until 1976 and only the last one was worth a darn. The ones that were from 1967 and 1970 were particularly aweful and these were new installations. Put a glass with chocolate milk undissolved powder in there and you got "sanitized" residue at the end of the cycle. The other two I got to play with in 1970 and 1974, the home owners said they were just piss poor. The Deluxe one was the worst. The other two were Custom Deluxe. Yes they held a ton of stuff, but didn't clean. The last one I tried was a 1975 or so model that had the little revolving spray arm at the end of one of the big spray arms. This one you could tell had some MMPH to it. So, I tried it out with grimy breakfast preparation stuff. It had a Pots & Pans cycle. The longest wash was the 1st wash, so unfortunately the wateer wasn't the hottest. But it did have triple dispensers. It was the only Frigidaire dishwasher I ever liked at all for real world, suburban usage.
