And they even sold them in Canada, imagine... I've never seen one of the Moffat-badged versions of a D&M dishwasher, but by golly, I'm still looking.
I have a couple of D&M machines, most notably the 1957 Whirlpool model that was only made 1 year before Whirlpool built a dishwasher of their own design. |

A D&M Roto-Rack of the era shown in the POD did not have the stubby spray at the back of the tub for the upper rack - I think that only came into use in the early 60s. I have 2 Kenmore Roto-Racks with the spray arm - one's a 1965 for sure and the other (an unusual front-load impeller machine) is perhaps a 1963 or 1964 model. |

I am curious, anyone know the reason the spray arm was so long in being used? Was it a patent of Kichenaid's? |
