If you remember back a couple of months ago, there was a never-used Kenmore portable dishwasher on ebay. I had it delivered to my sister's garage and they brought it with them Friday night. It truly was NEVER used - packing still in the machine, racks taped together - it even smells new! I haven't run it yet, I almost hate to use it since it's so perfectly preserved. The funniest part is, the warranty card that came with it specifically states that it has a full one-year warranty from the date the machine is put into use. It says nothing about purchase date, I wonder if Sears will honor it?

Wow Greg! That was the exact machine my folks had.
I am not going to tell where I was in school when they got it though!!. Always a good performer. They even had it in that Avocado. I guess they thought it was the closest match to the leftover Universal Waste King wall oven and cooktop and Fridigdaire refrigerator in turquoise that my mother had. You can just imagine what that kitchen looked like. Anyway, dad finally built it in. Congratulations. I know what it is like to want to use a machine that is new, yet you don't want to ruin its newness. What a connundrum. Fred | ||

Congratulations, Greg! And GREAT shot of the controls. I wish more members would follow your lead and give a clear picture of the controls when they post. Does anyone else remember the display model of this dishwasher in Sears w/ the glass cabinet all lit up and washing? When I was a kid we always had to go in the appliance entrance at Sears so I could see that dishwasher. Jeff | ||

Greg, My aunt in Philadelphia had the same model dishwasher in white but built in. I loved it. When we would go for holidays I was the one to get to load it. Great find. She always used "Finish". Hope you do get a glass front. I use to love going to the Sears store at the mall and watching the Roto-rack demo washing away. Mike | ||

Speaking of smells. I always remember running a dishwasher left a particular detergent smell you could notice as soon as you walked into the house,, anyones house actually where a dw had been recently running. Either I'm used to it now or the ingredients have changed because I never notice it anymore.

Steve (Sacto), that was the next to TOL, the LK was right above it. Eddy, ours was still going strong when mom decided it needed to be replaced in 1988. There were several tine pegs that had rusted and broken off in the bottom rack and just didn't hold as much plus putting rust on some of the dishes. So out it went, much to my chagrin, in came my same dishwasher, a GSD1200 GE. And I'll be glad to slap you hard too. | ||

Here it is! Have used this dishwasher once in a while, should probably use it more often. Love the sounds, takes me right back to our kitchen when I was 8, ear to the door.

Had the built-in version of that model in Coppertone in the second half of the 70s. Prior to that, we had a Harvest Gold portable, possibly that same model as well | ||
