We had a neighbor with this machine
or one like it. I don't remember if it was the full sink or just the dishwasher. I recall they always had to pull off the top rack to get to the bottom and I could imagine what a PITA that would be. We had the Youngstown Top Loader at the time and even that seemed like a pain but not as much as this hotpoint would have been. When my Mom got her first front loading KA she thought she'd died and gone to heaven. She is just a little over 5 feet tall and always struggled with the top loader. I can remember years later, I went to visit my high school friend who lived in this house. They still had the dishwasher and used it to store stuff like bread. I asked if it was broken and she said no, my Mom just thinks it's easier to wash the dishes. I wonder if this feature was a contributing factor. | ||

My parents bought a house 30 years ago that had 3 vintage appliances, the J-408 Stratoliner stove(which lasted 4 more years until my parents were duped into throwing it out and replacing it with a rebadged WCI GE 40" piece of pure garbage), a single door GE fridge and the GE version of this Hotpoint dishwasher. It was not a DW/Sink unit but the lower rack, door and controls were identical to this unit. It worked like a charm but shook the entire house and sounded like a 747 landing when activated. I tried to convince them to keep it, but, as usual, they didn't listen. At least it was replaced by what is now a vintage KitchenAid Patrician KP-18. Prepare yourself for a lot of noise, but a great machine.

Had a couple of friends in Dallas when I was about 4-6 y/o who had this machine, one of which had 5 kids. I remember when it came time for loading, the top rack was placed on the counter (ala a dish drainer) and stuff for that rack was placed in it while the bottom rack was being loadd at the same time. I marvel today thinking about a woman who was pregnant lugging that rack in & out numerous timse a day, I think the machine was run at least twice a day for years. It was still going when they moved out of the house (orignal owners) in 1965 or 1966.

I wish I had the room..
..for one of those. I hate the fact that basements are scarce in the south!! We have a small shed in the back yard that we use for garden tools and "junk". It's a nice building that was built by the previous owners to match the house. Some day I may just add power and water out there and have a little playroom of my own. | ||
