We have yet to see a first-class machine in this country that cracked me up immensely. when I saw the Tappan was about 2nd overall in best perfomance, and it was pretty abysmall in the U.S., I even thought all the other machines tested must be pretty bad and that was before I saw this final comment. Yes, the Tappan was pretty relatively poor in performance compared to others we had on the market at the time. | ||

Tappan
My pleasure, Bob! BTW, did the big roller at the bottom alternate its rotation sense? I don't think Tappan was ever sold here in Italy, unlike other American brands such as Westinghouse, General Electrics, Crosley and Frigidaire, so discovering its particular washing system was quite a surprise for me.
Thanks for your help! Ivan | ||

strangely familiar the Swanmaid (shown in an 11/66 brochure) looks like a KitchenAid KD-12 to me...

Steve, hmm, I agree, a KD12 cousin. Only 5 or 6 place setting capacity. Looks like it had its own water heater similar to a Youngstown Jet Tower. Too bad KA didn't offer that little constant rinse feature on our models over here.
Ivan, I found out from Tomturbomatic here that the Tapan did indeed reverse direction throughout each phase of the programme. As a 9 to 11 year old kid, it didn't sound any different when it washed in either direction. Would lhave never occurred to me that it was reversing. I just thought it very odd that it would wash or rinse for a few minutes, pause for one timer increment (30 seconsd I believe) and then start up washing again. And apparently it basically only washed one half of the interior (left or right side as the case may be) when it did reverse. Even the mesh detergent dispenser (whiich was covered and kind of looked like a little small items basket, was divided into right and left sides. | ||

Ivan, This is awesome! Thank you! So cool to see so many forbidden cycles. It is amazing to see the Tappan working. The Kitchenaid versions...I found the pictures showing a very wimpy spray. What was up with that? Great reading. Thanks again Ivan! Brent

reply # 14
The swan maid dishwasher was IIRC was classed as a semi commercial machine as the one I used in a hotel had a heater tank inside that would heat the water before it was used to wash and rinse, If the machine had not been used for a while then it would take longer before it started washing, If we ran out of hot water which did happen at peak times then it would take a while to finish the wash cycle as it had to pre heat the rinse water there was no heater in the wash tank so all drying was residual heat from the rinse, Mind you it still had to be left for a while as the crockery was so hot you could not handle it. A very good machine IMHO its max wash time was about 20 mins and it could be all over in less than 15 with a good hot water supply. It could if necessary be connected to cold but all heating times would take much longer but that meant a longer wash time as it had to wait for the thermostat to be satisfied. We used Finish commercial powder in it as it contained a lot of bleach thus removing all tanning stains etc.
