I've got to say, I'm insanely jealous of you all here that own a PowerClean. These are hands down the best dishwashers built. To me they seem to be the peak of balancing power and results with efficiency and water usage. My aunt still has hers from 2002, and the thing runs a full "Bob load" nearly every day (herself and my uncle, and four kids); they don't rinse anything at all, and sometimes there will be bits of food on the door and in the bottom before a cycle. I don't think I've ever witnessed her use anything but Normal w/Air Dry and no extra options, and it runs 1 wash, a purge, and then 1 rinse with squeaky clean and spotless results. I myself have been searching for one to buy from someone that hasn't been mistreated, but they're nearly impossible to come across. No one wants to give theirs up lol. You guys that have them, take extra good care of these babies. They're like gold.

tell us something we don't know......
if you can't find a PowerWash....search under the Kenmore brand of 'UltraWash', same unit inside and out......don't go by the brand, it must say 'UltraWash' on the panel... I have two, one bought brand new...and a spare I got from Habitat for 40.00....both are convertibles when you do get one....bake and frost a chocholate cake....and toss it in there, and see what happens......theres also JohnL's dried up ketchup bottle test.....sparkling clean every time...! |

these 'sensor' ones are very nice too.....changes the water based on how dirty the water gets, once cleared, it moves on to the rinses!

You can find them everywhere I see them all the time.While I prefer my 1984 Kitchenaid Superba which I still can't get over how good this thing is, I doubt it was use over 50 times in 30 years.The Whirlpool power-clean is a monster for cleaning and so is the G.E. dishwasher's Old ones that is and that goes double if it has that Orbital wash arm in it. My Kitchenaid can out wash using light wash and packed to the gills food dumped in the bottom than any new dishwasher I have seen.Light wash is done and over in about 30 or so mins and the dishes are spotless. My L.G. takes hours and there is grit and grime everywhere on the longest wash.It's odd with the L.G. it seems normal wash is more powerful than Power-scrub. |
