See Thread #17777 in Super Forum, Friday BoabLoad Offering. Every photo by me (appnut) are pics of my Tall Tub Kenmore Elite loads. I've been extremely pleased and surprised with cleaning and capacity. So, your similar Whirlpool cousin will do nicely too. Personally I prefer the SS tub to anything else Whirlpool would offer except for their TOL that does have a SS interior. Because mine is right under TOL, and confirmed by Magic Clean, my model has extra insulation which holds the heat in even more. I'm very pleased with the drying, many times does better than my old GE PotScrubber.

I have to agree with ttuee and jamiel. My folks and I both have GE tall tubs. I run mine about every 6 days or so, and mom runs hers every other day or two. We both have problems with dishes not being fully clean, and with dirty utensils, etc. I heard my mom say just the other day that I needed to pre-rinse the plates because we didn't need to run the dishwasher that night. Dishes are fine if we run the machine before stuff dries. Part of my childhood was spent in Denver where you don't pre-rinse dishes (that's what the dishwasher is for they say) and we've never broken the habit. Our old Potscrubbers didn't have this problem. I have heard that the standard tub PowerClean module Whirlpool dishwashers are in their final year or so, so I'm thinking about dumping my Profile TallTub (sometimes I would LOVE to kick the stink out of it) in favor of a standard Whirlpool or what most would say is a lesser dishwasher, but one that will use enough water to clean my dishes the way they always were before. I vote for a standard tub Whirlpool-made model. It may not be the quietest, but it will do it's job. |

OMG! I think any manufacturer that tried to market a machine like that in OZ would be set up for a lynching... I can get a prewash, wash and up to 3 rinses in my machine but it will still use less than 6 US gallons or 24 litres... It washes perfectly with a wash and 2 rinses...so about 3 1/2-4 gallons or 14-16 litres |
