Actually, a friend of mine called a week or so ago and offered this to me. Some friends of theirs had it in storage for a couple of years and when they installed it in the "new" house, it peed water all over when they turned it on. Since the warm, fuzzy feeling of shopping wears off quickly they decided to buy a new dishwasher. It was in my driveway when I got back from the gym and I gave it a once-over this afternoon.

Greg the wash arm just sits on top of the impeller. It is actually the pump housing and the water is pulled thru the filter plate and over the heater and into the impeller. Its an ingenious design. Nothing holds the arm down. On the rack...pull up from the front and up. You cannot use tablets in this machine..powder only thats why there are 2 prongs in the cup. The lid that comes down on mine was motor driven. Also make sure you have the drain hose adapter that combines the 2 drain hoses into one. There is only one water connection in the back. Mine was a clear water line. For the racks the left area is for cups and glasses. It pulls out by the handle near the wall. The plate rack pulls out as well. When you pull the mega rack and plate rack you will have a flat rack left for pots and pans. I found that when we had one that the concept is kinda neat and it works if you dont cook or entertain. But everyones experience is different and mine with this machine...I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Also avoid the urge to Bobload it. It can hold quite a bit but parking dishes on top dishes and you might be surpised at what doesnt get washed. The cycles with the most power is Heavy . Dont use Eco since it drops water temps and cuts out a rinse. If you prerinse then go for it but if you dont it needs every bit of help it can get. | ||

KEWL Greg! Would this machine be any good as a pot-washer to supplement a 2nd "real" DW? How long do the cycles take? | ||

Greg, when you have time, lift the wash arm off the pump and show everyone the powerful pump impeller in this machine. This is similar in effectiveness to the turquoise Suzy Homemaker dishwasher I have in a box somewhere. If you put clean dishes in, you can take clean, moist dishes out. | ||

We'll see how it works, I have a client that LOVES hers to death. That may well be the outcome for her/them as the top drawer never drains the final (?) water from the machine so there's stagnant water sloshing around when you pull it open. I may have a chance to work on it this week but we're having company this weekend so probably won't get it installed in the kitchen, if it makes it that far ;-) | ||
