Unless I've missed it, we haven't had a good Bob Load Thread in a while. I've had the KDS-17A as my daily driver for a number of weeks now and I am getting the hang of loading it. I find that I have to run it more often than I did my Boschmore but hey, I see that as a benefit. I love the great sounds that come out of this machine.
The Bottom Rack before. |

A great load... Do the KA dishwashers not have an upper spray arm under the rack, under the ceiling or an impeller on top? How about the cleaning performance on the top rack? |

I have to call this one a "Fred Load" as he's the one who taught me this trick. This is a model 63 Hoover vacuum cleaner. I took it all apart, loaded nearly every part that would fit in the machine and ran it through the full cycle with only STPP, no detergent. Yup, that's the motor in there. It comes out beautifully clean and after a thorough drying time has elapsed, it's ready to reassemble. After a bit of washing, I opened the machine to flip the base of the vacuum over for more directed scrubbing.

chris74: the 17 Series Kitchenaid does not have a wash arm under the top rack. There is a constant rinse arm above the top rack but it seems to be more for making sure the tops of glasses and cups are well cleaned and don't end up with particles deposited in them.
I am really amazed at how well the top rack is cleaned provided I don't block it with a large pan or bowl. It does take a little getting used to but these machines are very powerful and really do a nice job. |

I've washed a lot of unusual things in the dishwasher, including vacuum cleaner parts, but never the motor!! |

At Tarantula Arms. Not sure if this qualifies, but you can load large items in the bottom of the KDS-17 and it all comes out clean. Thanks for the memories Greg. I've used one of these since the 70's and learned how to load them. I have yet to have anything come out not clean. And in 45 minutes, no less! |

Bump.............
(Wanna post a pic, before it's too late.......later today hopefully)
And yes I agree, running a dissasembled vacuum in the dishwasher... A very odd thing to clean in a dishwasher! This post was last edited 05/07/2012 at 11:07 |

I have washed a toaster, a coffee maker, an electric water kettle and an electric waffle iron in the dishwasher and had good results... |

Umm... does THIS qualify as a "Bob load"?
This is 56 - 9" dinner plates, 48 in the lower rack and 8 in the upper racks, in the Kitchenaid KDA-5 portable. I washed them all, like this, prior to the Spring Wash-In just over three weeks ago. When they were "party dirty" they weren't packed in quite like this as there other dishes in there too.... but hey.
Wanted to share.
