I had one back in the day. There was an extra little spray-arm on the end of one of the main spray-arms. A good, if noisy, machine that would hold a lot of dishes. |

My aunt had the same interior like on the portable but it was built in. Only had one dial with regular and short wash. It was a decent cleaner for the time but nothing spactular. I really liked the loading pattern even with the tower which I never cared for in any dishwasher. I know the design was changed near the end before the wci disaster. If you look above and notice the cup shelf the way it was designed the cups always came clean. In todays models the cup shelves are useless they are always blocked and cups never come clean. Compaired to todays standards this was a tall tub for that time. My aunt always liked me to load it because I always got tons of things in it. Also in it's time this wasn't the biggest seller compared to kitchenaid or ge and kenmore d&m designs. But it sure was a unique dishwasher. Peter |

My Mamaw had the one on the far right.I thought the washarm was so cool and when you do the fluid dynamics of it it you get more water coverage.My Sister has a Smeg dishwasher and it has the to main wash arms side by side with small one attached to them also.That Frigidare cleaned very good a hell of alot better than any dishwasher out today save for the still out WhirlPool Powerclean.It lasted till about 1994 or so because they got another Frigidare which sucked at washing but D&M Machines never were great.

I had a Custom Imperial from 1977 for two years and it literaly fell apart from abuse by my so called room mates.When I went out on my own,I got Ward's top of the line,Signature made by FRIGIDAIRE.It had two choices of Sani Temp 150 and 160 buttons.The red light said "SANI" instead of 150 like the FRIGIDAIRES.
