 Model KUDA230Y
Appears to be a very late model still based on the Hobart products.
Question - is this worth going after? How old is it and would be suitable as a daily driver?

I had this same exact model dishwasher and its no Hobart machine. The has the Whirlpool PowwrClean module for the wash pump. The rest of the machine looks like a Hobart built and this was the next to last generation before Whirlpool pulled the plug on this design. It does clean well but lower rack height is kinda limited with the ChinaGuard for the middle arm and top rack height is limited as well.

Final rinse
Although these models are a bit short on rack height, they are certainly easy to load as you like. Op, the racks here show no rust so appears to be very low mileage - id jump fast and grab this.
These do a half fill purge before the final rinse which flushes the filter well and even sprays the bottom rack a bit as well, therby flushing the tub before final rinse. The powerclean module on these is highly desired as they handle debris on full non scraped/rinsed loads great. | ||

The 18 works very well if water temps are 150F at the kitchen faucet. The 19 and 20 work better if one keeps their water heater at lower temps and the water heater it's quite a far distance away since they preheat the water to 150F before washing and rinsing.
Be mindful of the constant rinse on the roof while positioning items in the top rack and pushing the rack into the cavity. The original style constant rinse arm is pretty delicate. | ||
