I own mine... KUDS25. Wouldn't mind an older KA with the 180º Sani Rinse, though. |

A 1965/66 Tappan Reverse-A-Jet.
Ahead of its day in many respects. The Top-of-the line model had reversing wash arms for top rack and bottom rack. Folding rack dividers, fine particle food filtration, console light, and self-latching door. Received praise from Consumer Reports saying the Tappan, "washed perfectly." They indicted it would have received a "check-rating" (an indication of highest overall quality) except the power of the spray, from the upper wash arm, sometimes tumbled glassware in the upper rack. |

I'm fairly certain it has the thermistor. I have already considered looking for a 180ºF thermostat. :) I just want everything to be scaled and sanitized! PS: Can you tell I am in healthcare? |

Mine would be a Whirlpool power clean, Maytag jet clean or a GE pot scrubber. |

Well, if I were to desire a vintage dishwasher, I suppose it would be a mid 50's Hotpoint, in Seafoam Blue. |

Hopefully in 2022, I'll actually get them over the border into Canada.... I already have waiting for me the elusive GE SU70T with the integrated, rapid-advance timer as well as a 30-inch Youngstown horizontal Jet-Tower dishwasher.
BUT, if I could find a GE SU80 30-inch Empress, preferably with the power-assist opening/closing mechanism.... |

I absolutely NEED to find an early 80s TOL KM Sears Best electronic dw. I know they aren't as good as most of what everyone here is looking for but...
and most have long since been replaced with, well... probably something worse and are now recycled into the fender of VW Jetta but I just have to have it. |

The higher the heat of the wash water, the more wear and tear on all the parts and the dishes.
I remember when I used to pick up discarded dishwashers from the 70s. You could always tell the rare people who were so anal that they used a high temp rinse all the time. The black plastic pump parts were often pitted and turning gray, if it was portable the hoses would have heavy wear and cracking, the shine was off the porcelain interior, and the plastic was literally wearing away on everything. It wasn't rare to find a hole worn into the bottom of the tub where the excessive hot water mixed with detergents can eat away at the tiniest of nick. |
