From what I've read here, the 22 series retains a lot of the Hobart design but it's 100% Whirlpool. I think the 21's were the last series to have some real Hobart left in them, and that was only in the earlier part of the run. Members more informed on this subject feel free to chime in and/or correct me. Some members have complained about the 22's only having one final rinse. That would be my only concern about a KDS22, but on the other hand, I've been told by a member who has owned one that the KDS22 is super quiet. That's a major issue since my MBR is fairly close to the kitchen. If a KDS21 with some additional insulation will quiet down like a KDS22, that's a formula that would work for me. I don't want the loading dilemmas associated with a single wash arm, which I believe is the case with 17 series and older, and I prefer a control panel that isn't fake woodgrain. I'm not too picky. LOL. | ||

That looks like a KDS 18
That (the KDS 18) has 3 level wash. In my own opinion, that is the Best kitchenAid ever made. 1/2 HP motor ,Overhead Constant Rinse, and even the longest cycle "Soak and Scrub", takes just about an hour to complete the entire cycle. I'd grab it if I was closer. You can never have enough 18s around. LOL. Eddie

Yeah, that avocado one is a good 6 hour drive from me. Pretty as it is, it's kind of hard to justify that sort of trip and associated expenses with gas food and lodging. After communicating with a couple of dishwasher experts, I've been advised that the supposed single rinse claim is not valid. After the main wash there is a rinse, a purge to clean the filter, and then another rinse. This is the same sequence as my KDI21 had, and I had no complaints about that machine. The KDS22 is supposedly very quiet, and that's what I need, so I'll keep waiting for one to surface. Eddie, I like the 3 level wash concept. A KDS18 is as early a model as I'd want, and that sort of washing action does make it an attractive option. Ralph | ||
