Can anyone identify the brand and date of this dishwasher? And the rest of the kitchen? It has a Hotpoint like control panel, but the decal seems to be something else.

I agree.  Definitely a GE-based product, but if you look closely at the options/cycles buttons, they're staggered - just the way Magic Chef did them.

IIRC, these had pretty, light green racks in them. Different than the standard GE colors. This was probably TOL for Magic Chef at the time, mid-late Almond 80's. I bought a Hotpoint around this time with similar button sets. There is a switch to the right of the timer, not sure what function they would have given that. Might have also had more deluxe upper rack.

The dishwasher, MC range and GE SpaceMaker micro-hood are all likely original to the kitchen.

Awesome info thus far!

Which store sold under the name Magic Chef? And this is a perma-tuff tank, right?

and the ubiquitous 80's Euro style cabinets.. Just about every new house had those back in the day.

It looks very much like a higher end version of the GE builder grade dishwasher that came with our first condo in 1987. I was a very good dishwasher as I recall, no problems with it in the 7 years we lived in the house.

Anyone have an up-close of a similar magic chef?

And yahhh, those cabinets arent my most favorite. I prefer solid wood.

Magic Chef it is then. Never knew these existed before the 90s, its nice to know that another brand used to be around.

Could I date this as an early 80s model?

Definitely Magic Chef

My sister had this model in her vacation house.

Looks exactly like the GE Produced Tappan the new house I built fall 1984/spring 1985.  Cycle buttons were heavy, normal, light. The next two buttons were water heat boost on or off.  The rocker switch to the right of the timer dial was heated/cool dry.  On mine temp boost on lengthened the main wash by 12-15 minutes and the final rinse by about 5 minutes.
