Impeller-wash dishwashers would never make it back today because of the challenges they pose when loading them. The 1-800-GET-LOST 'help' line from any manufacturer who did would be ringing off the hook with complaints from people who had placed a large pan or bowl face down in the lower rack and were dismayed to find dirty cups and glasses in the upper rack...
I'm not sure what the specs are for other impeller machines, but the GE I have in the kitchen centre is rated at 6.5 gallons for a full cycle. The Kenmore 600 Roto-Rack claims something like 14 but it has one more water change than the GE and it probably needs extra water to circulate up to the half-arm spray for the upper rack. |

GE bow tie impeller machines used a quart and a half per fill, 6 cups. Good KAs used about 2 gallons + or - per fill except for the Sani Rinse which used one gallon. |

I think there could be issues with food particles left on the dishes in some impeller dishwasher designs maybe not all. I know that if I had an impeller machine I'd have to do a better job of preparing the dishes to avoid this. Now in my KD20 I barely knock the food off the plate and with an impeller machine I'd probably have some unwanted surprises when the cycle was finished. |

That water spraying action in that old GE looks phenomenal compared to the water spray of today's dishwashers. I'm really surprised with the weak sprays of today's dishwashers that they can spray anything at all off dishes. But they do. |

I think you mean "geegle geegle" don't you, Ben? She probably spent thousands on stage elocution lessons, too, LOL.
The only dishwasher we had with an impeller was a '55 or '56 Westinghouse built-in. My mom was a pre-rinser, so it's hard to know what the machine could truly handle. Another good one, Barry! Keep 'me coming. |
