if in 2025 2026 you renovated your home kitchen and wanted to put in a vintage dishwasher all brands are good in my case it would be this kenmore dishwasher with a havest gold panel or white panel my godmother when i was a kid had this model (my mom sister) i also love how simple it is chose cycle push button normal or sani wash if you went dishes sanitize hot or cool dry (true drying ) press start of course i would went it portable with adapter since the wood surface could be use as a mobile island to put dish out of the oven or prepare food

Porcelain tub Whirlpool power clean dishwasher.Had a portable DP8700XT for 30 years . I've only had two other dishwashers since.That Whirlpool dishwasher was the best one I owned.

Late 90s early 2000s Whirlpool Power Clean Filter Module or Kenmore Ultra Wash. Peak dishwasher, peak cleaning, peak energy savings.

I’d install my 1985 KitchenAid KDS-21. It has a self cleaning filter, complete with a chopper, very similar to a Whirlpool Power Clean pump. However, the filter in it has much smaller holes, so it won’t let as many large bits through as a power clean pump would. But, as long as you scrape large chunks off before washing, it isn’t a problem.

I really did liked the Frigidaire my grandfather had at his cabin until the place flooded but it had already broke anyways. If it were me, I would've had it fixed than using the new LG.

I also did liked the Maytag Jetclean I used to have but with that company now out of business, parts would be really hard to track down which is one of the reasons why I'd rather not stick to vintage.

So if I could own any vintage dishwasher, it'd be a stainless steel Kenmore Ultra Wash which is basically a Whirlpool Power Clean. It appears those are arguably the greatest dishwashers ever made.

The Lady Kenmore with the sliding door over the buttons or a late 80s Whirlpool with the flip out controls.

Define vintage. 2005 is considered vintage to some.
