Appliancelou: What a cool machine. I dont't really pay much attention to dishwashers unless it's something very different and this Kaiser definitly is. Can you explain how it works? Does it actually spin the dishes? How fast does that go? I would think that could be dangerous for glassware. What year is the Kaiser, looks early 50's. Are there any other machines like this new design? The intallation in your kitchen looks very nice. This could be a whole new venture for me. Thanks, Kevin (another Jersey boy, not too far).

There used to be a video of this dishwasher on youtube!

Is it still there?

In order to advance between the different wash and rinse stages, do you open the drain and flush out the tub or does the drain remain open during the entire operation? Does this machine have a timer mechanism?

Thanks for posting the video yogitunes.

This is such a cool design it beckons questions.

Now, that I have watched the video again, it is clear that the drain is shut for each part of the wash process. How does the water recirculate, allowing detergent to wash over all the dishes instead of being flushed out, when it is fed in directly from the hot water supply; rather than being recirculated via a pump (as per electric dish washing)? When the drain is shut during operation, does the incoming water escape the tub via an overflow or does the operator have to monitor how much water enters the tub?

Curious and curiouser.

Thank you for the video. That would go over big these days with all the talk about going green and conserving power.

Thanks!

Have you measured how much water this uses? It sounds like the water was on for the full cycle. I guess each of the jets has an aspirator to suck up the detergent solution in the bottom of the tank to spray it on the dishware. I guess the detergent eventually gets diluted from the fresh water coming in and displacing the original solution via the overflow.

One of the nice things about this machine and some of the other manually-controled dishwashers like the Thor was that their design allowed the user to run a pre rinse to flush the soil and warm up the load, then close the drain and add detergent for the wash. Early electric automatic dishwashers did not automatically do that since they did not have a detergent dispenser to keep the powder dry during a prerinse so the wash temperature was not as high as it should be. I start my KD2P at the first rinse to do this and stop it after that water drains then turn the timer around to the beginning of the cycle to restart it with detergent to get great washing.

Love It !!

Martin, thanks for posting the video as well. How long do you let the machine run with each cycle, and at what temp. is the water being used? I can easy see this machine being useful for people who use glass mason jars for canning. Think of the time being saved. Are you going to close it in at some time? Love these vintage machines!
John

Didn't Consumer Reports give these a poor rating? I think they're kewl. What kind of detergent do you use ? How is it on dried on soils or tough stuff like egg or peanut butter?

Post# 563637 , Reply# 42   12/16/2011 at 23:37 (4,513 days old) by Tomturbomatic (Beltsville, MD)        

They were originally used with a liquid detergent by the name of "Chat" that was low in alkalinity to preserve the aluminum parts of the machine. That may have contributed to the poor performance. I think most older dishwashers would wash better with today's detergents than with was made for them and was used for testing them in the early 50s when dishwasher detergents were mostly phosphted water buffering compounds since non-sudsing surfactants were just then being developed and the dry, stable chlorine eventually used in so many dw detergents had yet to be invented.

For heavy, dried on soil the wash cycle would have to be longer and with this machine that means more hot water and an additional dose of detergent since the detergent is diluted during the wash by the incoming fresh hot water and the solution lost down the overflow pipe that keeps the water level constant.
