Wow!
For the archive. You don't see many older machines in this kind of shape.
Overpriced? Yes. Beautiful? Yes. Doesn't look to have had much use. That's the exact model I remember our neighbor having. She used that night light all the time. | ||

Not Sold It is back on the site, same link, for $775.00! Tom, I agree with the Whirlpool elements. The sump is reminiscent as well as the pump assembly. The rack design, while not identical, does have some Whirlpool elements as well. Looks like a seldom used machine. | ||

"doohicky"
David, that is the handle on top of the removable filter. Normally the filter was self-cleaning, but if it needed attention you just pulled it out by the handle and rinsed it under the tap in the sink.
Tappan put a lot of attention to detail into their new "Reversa-Jet", I guess the disastrous performance of the old Tappan dishwashers, with the rotating drum, led them to produce a vastly superior machine to save their reputation. It has some niceties too, that while common today, weren't as common in 1965. The door that was self latching, of course the panel light, the ultra easily removed filter, as well as fold-able tines/dividers on the upper rack. The actual reversing jets were meant to be more as a unique selling feature/point as opposed to an actual performance enhancer. 'They were good cleaning machines. Sad how Tappan went down hill so quickly. From the Fabulous 400, with the ovens on the top, range, and the premium Reversa-Jet dishwashers they went to bargain basement machines by the mid-70's. And now, like Westinghouse and so many others, it is just a name--no company behind it. | ||

Tappan Reversa-Jet DW Question, Did the upper wash arm also reverse like the lower one ?
The very few Tappan DWs we saw with this feature the lower arm did not reverse anymore, [ it was probably lucky to turn at all ]
Did CRs or Consumers Bulletin ever test this DW and did it really work pretty well ?, I am sure it would have worked light years better than the earlier one with the rotating drum. The RD machine I think sealed the all time record in CRs test in the early 60s for the most ineffective cleaning DW they ever tested.
Tappan certainly designed and built some interesting cooking appliances, and Tappan was the first company in the world to market Microwave Ovens to consumers in 1955. Unfortunately their construction quality was never close to companies like GE for ranges and as others have noted by the 1970s it was pretty bad, just come and take a good look at the Tappan Pan-O-Matic at our museum
