This is an older Hobart built machine! It looks like it could be a (KDS?) 17 or 18, but don't quote me on this.
It's hard to nail down the exact years on these, I have a top loading (Hobart) Kitchenaid KDA-5 portable and the closest I can get is it's between 39 and 47 years old.

I have heard nothing but great things about the KDS-18s but I have never used one.I just dont think having one wash arm would work for me.Well scratch that I know it would not because, I Bob-load my dishwasher all the time and I do not scrape,rinse,or anything really if it does not fall off the plate into the sink it goes in the dishwasher.I did find a video of a 1993 Kitchenaid dishwasher that I think has the Power-clean wash system.I was shocked at the power it has way more power than I thought.

As mentioned above, the built-in is definitely a KDS-16. It's hard to tell from the photo if it's the earlier non-soak cycle version or the later soak cycle version. The later version added the word "soak" under the second button. It used a different timer and selector switch than the earlier one but everything else was the same.
These machines were made from May of 1968 to May of 1971. I don't have the exact date for the introduction of the soak cycle on this machine but suspect it was sometime in 1969. The KD-15, 16 & 17 all shared basically the same washing system with only one 4-arm hydro-sweep wash arm on the bottom. The upper arm rack was introduced on the KD18 series in Nov. of 1976. | ||

Superba et.al. The pictured built-in is a 16 series but as was mentioned, it can't be determined if it had the "soak" Cycle. The Top Loader is a "5" series machine, based on the KD-15 dishwashers. The coarse strainer is the give away in that one. | ||

so did the 16! Yibbles didn't hide from the 16 either. It had the constant rinse as well. | ||
