What, you don't wear lipstick to load the dishwasher Brent? Jeff Lefever found one of these a year or so ago and has used it several times. I don't know about all the patents and such, but I don't know as I would call either spray-tube machine a "success" but as with most early dishwasher design, time brought improvement. (if you listen closely, you can hear the air being cut by Rober's forthcoming SLAP!) I always thought Frigidaire should have combined a lower wash arm with a spray tube under the upper rack (perhaps a smaller version) that would have made a great dishwasher with no loss of space in the lower rack for the spray tower as in the 60's & 70's machines. |

That is such an excellent installation. When I am able to, I would love a slightly elevated dishwasher. I would think that an elevated installation might make any required servicing easier. Lawrence/Maytabgear |

Mounting the unit at eye level makes so much sense. Does anyone have one of these? How efficient is it? I want one NOW! |

We had one of these and it was a POS. Replaced it about 2 mos after we moved into the house (house built 1960, replaced in 1978) It didn't have good space for anything but plates...there wasn't enough space for glasses and forget putting in any pots/pans. It was a big comedown even from a late-60s Sears roto rack in our old house. It was interesting getting it out of the place because it was 30" wide--we replaced it with a KitchenAid 24" then built a shelf-thing to fill in the 6" of space. This house had the original tan Youngstown steel cabinets which were overlaid with a fake woodgrain formica veneer. The oven had been replaced (by a coppertone Hotpoint self-cleaning) but it had a 33" wide Youngstown-Tappan coppertone cooktop. The controls were fixed 7 position clickers. |
