Would this model have a third spray arm or sprinkler-type sprayer on the very top, to spray down on the top rack items? |

I believe that is a KDS-20, not 19. The 19 series was titled Energy Saver IV; this one says Energy Saver V. Also, it has a metal air diffuser in the back for the fan forced drying Still a great machine! I have the KDP-20; it's awesome! |

I have the KDS-19 and the KDS-60 (portable version of the KDS-20 I'm assuming). The 19 is the Energy Saver IV and the KDS-60 is the ES V. Neither has the constant rinse on the top. They both only have the two main spray arms. Because of this I find it necessary to prerinse just a little before loading because sediment on the top rack can be an issue.
The cycle are fairly similar on both with some minor changes between the two. KDS-19 has: Pots/Pan/Soak & Scrub Normal Heavy Light Quick Wash (no dry) Rinse/Hold Cycle Cancel KDS-20 (60): Pots/Pans/Soak & Scrub Heavy Low Energy Sani-Cycle Rinse/Hold Cycle Cancel No-Heat Dry option My understanding with these two are that there was no heated drying at all in the 19 series. The KD-60 does dry with fan-forced heated air (and does a nice job too). Even with the heat option turned off it does relatively well at drying. The Low-Energy wash cycle cuts out all of the prerinsing cycles and goes straight to soap dispensing and washing. Sani cycle heats the final rinse. Otherwise I think that's just the normal wash cycle. Heavy has a couple of prerinses and Pots/Pans has a few. Every cycle preheats the initial fill before washing. Pots/Pans pauses and heats each prerinse. Overall I think the machines do pretty well but, again, if it's something really soiled you're better off doing a little handy work on it before throwing it in the wash cycles. These machines are built so tough and sturdy it's unbelievable. The tub interiors are the best by far of anything I've seen. If anyone is familiar with these two machines, there is one major perk the 20 has over the 19 (at least in my opinion). Anyone care to take a guess at this minor but very useful difference? Jon |
