What type of dishwasher is your favorite? I'll start: KitchenAid by Hobart KD-12, like this one in stainless! I really hope that I'll own one in the future!

Hands down the Hobart AM-14. These things were amazing workhorses. Easy to use and fix and very reliable. For a home machine any Whirlpool Powerclean based machine.

This is a tough one... In terms of design, I am a big fan of GE's top-loader, impeller-wash machines. The challenges of loading them keep the neurons firing LOL
In terms of performance, I'd go with the 14 series Kitchen Aid - simple, but thorough : wash wash rinse rinse rinse dry.
I can't pick just one!! |

No surprise here. I can still remember the day in 1969 when I opened the top of one of these in the Gimbel's Herald Square Appliance department. I couldn't believe how big (capacious) this machine was. I'm still looking for first-generation models of these should anybody come across one. These were/are incredible machines; IIRC,CU was over-the-top in their ratings for this dishwasher.

If I were to go vintage, it would probably be a KitchenAid 14 series Superba. It has a retro look but was the first to have next generation improvements. It would have to be a spare machine in a secondary kitchen setting though, because . . .
As far as performance goes, nothing I've ever owned could beat my Miele Futura. |

Must come in a plethora of colors and have 3 level wash. Also needs to hint at tricking us into thinking it's a fine piece of crafted furniture with sleek handsome plastic wood on the panel. 1981 It sure was fun though. |

My favourite is still the 1966 Constructa G12. It's a 67cm, 26,something inch wide machine with four small spray arms at the bottom and one big spray arm under the upper rack. Siemens had a similar model, but that one didn't have a window. With a heating element of around 3000 Watts and a powerful pump it will blast off everything!
