I replaced this in my house about 6 months ago with "the new modern LG stainless overpriced piece of crap". While it looks good it can't even begin to compare with the KitchenAid. It was in the house when I moved here 10 years ago and I used it at least once a day ever since. Last winter it started to act up and would start up all by its self and I was afraid there was an electrical issue that may cause a fire. I would leave the door unlached so it would not start on its own. It doesn't do this all the time but I was out voted in the house to replace it. If anyone here wants it let me know. I need to get it out of my garage where its been sitting since last summer. I don't know much about dishwashers at all so I'm not sure what the year is and I may have it posted in the wrong forum. The interior is stainless and in excellent condition.

LAST GOOD KA DW This was the last of the good KAs and WP stopped producing the power-clean machines for Sears around march this year.
I don't mean to be Negative and everyone here knows that I never am LOL. But there are NO great performing DWs left anywhere in the world made for home use. NONE have a large enough motor that produces enough water power, NONE has a disposer that completely disposes of all the food waste [ up to a full cup or more ] that will cling to a full load of dishes. And NONE can do this in around an hour or so.
Dishwashers today are a very different appliance, they reached thier point of perfection in the mid 1980s and really started to go down hill in the 2000s when the US companies started coping many of the features and attributes of European machines, if you value great performance hold on to your older machines. | ||

 That is a great dishwasher.There is no difference in it and the Whirlpool/Kenmore save for that signature stainless steel Wash arm and interior.I would not even scrape plates when I had my Kenmore Power clean.I threw whole plates of food in it rolls,beans,everything and they were spotless when done.My Best friends Kenmore with the same wash system had a dispose option it tells you that the machine will grind and flush away hard and soft food and it does and there was no difference between her machine and my save for a few things.The most powerful dishwasher that is made now are Viking dishwasher's intellia-wash system with that ultra hard food disposer in it.I know that the wash motor in it is a inverter controlled 3phase 1/2 H.P. motor and it's a very powerful dishwasher for the brief moment I got to play with it the other day..I still prefer the old Kitchenaids or G.E. Potsmasher's that used water I get so tired of these dishwasher's that are out today.They put these little motors in them and then brag about how good they wash with a gallon of water and now we have 7 hour wash cycles.That to me just seems like a clever all consumers are stupid notion.Yes they might use less water and less power but buying a new dishwasher every 4 years instead of 14 seems far worse. | ||
