I have that model and Yes... It is a Great Performer as long as you load it right. What I do with mine is , if I have something large in the lower rack, pull out the top rack and see if that item you want to put in the top rack will be blocked from the spray pattern coming up from the bottom. You'll need hot water as there is no immersion heater for maintaining water temperature. And These sound really cool when running. Definately Old School KitchenAid. |

and love it, I used it twice this weekend once for my kitchen gas stove grates and then washed some oversized pottery/stoneware pieces that I found on craigslist recently as well as a few other things... |

These like all KA DWs were very durable and shared most parts with other models, I never saw any of these with any type of water heater element in them, so you need pretty hot water for best results with these machines. Which means if you have to keep your homes water at anything much above 120 degrees to accommodate using one of these older KAs it can become pretty costly to use. |

MyKDS-55 Superba Convertable has the Sani Rinse/ Immersion Heater. The KDR-67 (Regency) does not have Sani Rinse. It does have a Soak Cycle but there is no heater in the sump. I really don't think any of the KA Top loading Machines ever had a Sani Rinse. If I remember correctly, there TOL machine was the Vari Cycle. Not Superba VariCycle. I think the Cycles are Full Cycle, Utilities-Utensils, and Rinse and Hold. The Convertable Superba VariCycle had the Sani Rinse. I believe only the Superba series had a sump heater where the Custom and the Imperial did not. When they started the 19 Series (Energy Saver IV) then all the series had sump heaters for heating the water. |

My friend Mad Dog has a Hobart Regency for me, but after the 3 wash selections, there is a space then 2 more buttons, Off and On, for Heat. It also has a fan, so is Pete right, does it heat the water? The Dog doesn't know; he doesn't use it. He just read the control panel to me over the phone. Anybody know what this machine heats? |
