I put my new dishwasher to the test tonight.  It was packed full of unrinsed and unscraped dishes.  How did the WP do?  Let's find out

Before 1.  The top rack

The lower rack.  None of these dishes or pans were even scraped off.

Inside of pans

Washed perfectly.  This DW did more dishes in 1 load than it's predecessor could do in 2.  The results were amazing and it is very quiet.  Summary, I LOVE THIS MACHINE!

You receive BobLoad certification.  that load would have come clean with heavy cycle and high-temp wash option.  I've put far worse encrusted loads in Whirlpools and comparable Kenmore UltraWashes that the Pots & Pans cycle is intended for.

How long

How long did the complete cycle last?

YAY For Your New DW

Impressive but I agree that you probably would get the same great result on Heavy Wash with Hi Temp added, hope you continue to enjoy this DW.

 

I CAN NOT believe how many people  have told me over the years Oh We Don't Use The DW, it is just as fast to wash them by hand! These are usually the same folks that eat out all the time or their idea of eating at home involves putting a Stoffers frozen dinner in the toaster oven, they end up using more paper and plastic disposable stuff, paper towels, water and energy than someone that cooks at home and properly uses a DW.

 

As Nick demonstrates it only takes 5 minutes to clean up a kitchen after cooking a good dinner and another 5 minutes to unload the DW and put it all away and you are not left big plastic bags to haul out to the curb. In mine and my partners kitchens we each have a WP built Trash Compactor they each only have to be emptied about twice a year, and the recycling bin gets carried out to the big roll around container about every two weeks.

Fantastic

Congratulations on a great DW. I'd purchased 2 very similar about 98, for a group home application - they were real workhorses. They clean everything without exception.

I am not surprised at the great results. It is such pity they stopped making these machines. I have used other good dishwashers but nothing will beat this. As John says you probably would have got the same results with the heavy wash cycle.

My bro has a machine like this just with a different control panel. It gets the job done every time,and the motor on that thing looks like a good STRONG one too. Nick's one is clearly no exception.

I have the Kenmore version of this machine and it is such a wonderful performer. I dont know what I'll do when it finally plays out, but I have not intentions of every changing it out until it just dies. It's been the best machine. Everything comes out clean the first time, and it's quiet!

What to do when the DW you like gives out.

combo52's profile picture

Look for a low mileage machine today, unlike clothes washing machines there always a lot of owners of DWs that just do not use them much if at all. So it is usually not to difficult to fine a great condition machine fairly cheaply, [ used DWs are usually pretty cheap ].

 

And then wrap it up and put it away, storing a machine that is in good condition should be no problem for even twenty years or more, modern parts and materials do not deteriorate much if they are kept dry, water seals and door seals etc Do Not need to be kept wet to last indefinitely.
