My first new dishwasher.. Was this exact model, but a built in unit......it's an awesome performing machine, and if I find one like yours, I'd definitely grab it !! | ||

Congratulations, Cameron!
Good find! A beautiful machine. I have always loved the utility shelf on the Kenmore--a good use of wasted space and a great place to put long knives and spatulas, etc., so one doesn't block the upper wash arm by putting them in the silverware basket.
Don't worry about your moment of weakness. That's when we get some of our best machines. I have a garage full of moments of weakness! | ||

Ultrawash 
Also used this same model fairly extensively years ago. Ive been in the lookout for one of these. Its one of my favorites! Lower rack can easily handle overlapping of items with ease. The adjustable upper rack allowed for variance of larger items to prevent upper wash arm obstacles.
Water miser cycle here was whirlpools normal cycle. Likewise normal here was whirlpools heavy cycle. Water heat option produced best results but was automatic on pots and pans. | ||

WOWZERS...
Very cool find!
And at an amazingly low price, if it is in perfect working condition! I don't think anyone into dishwashers would be able to not get this dishwasher! CONGRATULATIONS on a good deal! But I definitely feel for you... A 2nd hand store across the street from you?! That sounds like a cruel joke or conspiracy to me! Talk about having to resist temptation! I would probably have to move!! 😵😬 | ||

Loading/noise
Cameron 20 bucks is an amazing deal! The adapter for faucet (may need an additional adapter as you see in pic) is available at hardware stores.
Yes this dw in the portable version you have is a loud one however fully loaded will quiet it down some. The fill portion on these (motor starts 10 seconds into fill) is comical to me as it sounds as if the dw was snorting as the pump draws air and water while filling but youll sure be able to hear that water be thrown! Others may disagree but i feel the ultra wash can handle much more soil then a potscrubber but admit my expertise there is with a potscrubber 900 with (no filtering). Also admitting the potscrubber vs ultrawash, each have their loading quirks. -Ultrawash will have better upper rack coverage but youll also need to mind the upper wash arm not being blocked, which is easy to do on these.
