Nice machine. Looks just like my KUDI21. Is that a 22 series? Mine had "Quiet Scrub" and "Automatic Water Heating."
I'm not surprised to hear that people admire your KA, or that they wish they had theirs back. I'm ready to make the switch back to KA as soon as a "Whisper Quiet" KUDS22 surfaces on CL. | ||

I would hardly say that Hobart products look "antiquated." Do those same friends say that about KA stand mixers? They haven't changed at all from the design Hobart gave them way back in the 70's. If anything, a vintage KA dishwasher has a classic look, not an antiquated one. IMO, KitchenAid dishwashers from the early 90's on back command respect as substantial and capable machines, built to stand the test of time inside and out.

"Classic is classic is classic."
So true. Even KA thinks so, as they call their BOL K45 Mixer the "Classic" model. I still have my mom's old Hobart K45.
I was referring to the K45 and similar models above, as other than designer colors (on "Artisan" and "Professional" series) and minor trim changes, they look the same today as they did when first produced. | ||

Jump the Shark..
A term to describe a moment when something that was once great has reached a point where it will now decline in quality and popularity. Origin of this phrase comes from a Happy Days episode where the Fonz jumped a shark on waterskis. Thus was labeled the lowest point of the show.
