I would trade my Bosch for that dishwasher. I used to have the Maytag version, from the 70's. I just noticed the CONSERVA Wash cycle. I guess it's the Jenn-Air version of the Light cycle. Funny name. |

You will be intercepted at the foot of the Bridge.
Better get a State Police Escort with that in the back of your truck. That shiny Porcelain makes my eyes water when I stare at the glisten too long. Gorgeous Stunning Machine. Can't wait to see it and load it !!! We'll have to Skype with Bob(appnut) for his first proper "BobLoad". |

Congratulations on getting such a great score! Love the sound of that machine when it's running. You can tell by that sound that whatever is in there will be coming out clean. |

I had the late 70's Maytag version and loved it. I can't wait to get this puppy installed!
Eddie he has another one, the sister to this machine ,it is used but in the box and I've seen it, it looks mint too. Only asking $100. Let me know if you or anyone else is interested.
Tom LOL I'm going to use Conserva Wash FIRST THING like any good Palinite would!! |

I am interested. Is it the one that's still on Craigslist in the Milford area?
It's basically the Jenn Air version of the WU-702 that I've been trying to find for years. Small but annoying differences.

Hi Jon, are you installing this at home or at the cape, Be sure to try out the Conserva-Wash cycle, when CRs used this cycle in comparison tests the MT DW went from the top of the list in cleaning to the BOTTOM of the list. Maytag was trying to have the lowest numbers on the DOE energy guide and they ended up shooting themselves in the foot because CRs was testing DWs at the time on the cycle that the EG was based on and MT had just one wash and two rinses and it left a mess.
MT RR DWs were certainly pretty good DWs in their day in terms of cleaning, in the time period from about 1970-1990 I would put them at #5 of the 5 best DWs built in overall cleaning and ability to hold large loads of dishes which is a pretty impressive score when you consider all the different poor performing DWs out there during this time period.
My top picks
#1 Whirlpool-Kenmore Ultra-Wash [porcelain tub DWs ] from 1984-1990
$2 Kitchenaid KDS-18 through the KDS-20
#3 GE early 80s DWs with multi-orbit wash arms, extra deep top racks and filtering systems, GSD900-1200-2800 etc.
#4 WP DWs 1970 on before the power-clean pump
#5 Maytag RR DWs from 1970-1988

I'm gonna swap out the KDS-22 as that location is what I use when home alone. The other KA is used primarily for large gatherings.
It just shines Louis, almost as if don't turn it on!! But a machine has to be used to have function.

I had one for a couple of months some years back. I picked it up for $25 at an Estate Sale. It was in the home of a heavy smoker so it took some doing to get rid of the smell. I cleaned it and sanded the top to get rid of some marks.
I especially liked the tines in the back left corner of the upper rack. As mentioned by others they were curved to hold bowls upright and I really liked that they stood up straight and got the water from above and below. In the back of the upper rack on both sides there were two sets of curved tines spaced further apart to hold larger shallow serving bowls.
I didn't have it long enough to comment on how it stood up to daily use but for the short time I had it everything I threw at it came out very clean. I have a tendency to throw some challenges to my dishwashers and this one seemed up for the challenge.
I eventually read a Craigslist ad that tugged at my heart string and I gave it away. They are times I wish I would have held on to it only because it was such a different design from all the others.

I already bought a new belt. I didn't think the original belt would be any good as it sat in the same position for 20 odd years so before I even start the machine it will get the new belt.
The only other machine I know that comes close to this treatment is the Kelvinator clutch has be kept lubed with vaseline otherwise the motor will stall.
