So I’ve been trying to come up with a way to have a second dishwasher in my kitchen without major renovations. I don’t necessarily need it to roll, but the unit will sit probably 3-4 feet away from the sink. I seen this cabinet on IKEA for a reasonable price, it doesn’t look Like there’s a...

The cabinets do come off, most portables are able to be converted to built in so as along as you got a similar model it should work. If it’s only a few years old though maybe have some faith in it, it might last longer than you think. What issue do you think will kill this machine?? It would...

I had the built in version of this machine for a while, a capable and no nonsense machine. Yes it will fly through the cycles, especially if you don’t use the temp boost options. The Normal cycle with no options will produce a purge before the final rinse instead of a full full, this will...

What a fun machine to machine to play with. And looks like you have an entire row of fun machines to use! There shouldn’t be any dishwashing challenge that you can’t handle!

I usually don’t use Dishwasher pods either. If I do, I usually always have some regular powder or gel to use in the prewash. I also noticed that cascade pods caused a lot of foaming when I tried them. Some dishwashers make having a proper prewash difficult though. My Bosch did not have a prewash...

I know some members here have talked about having their KitchenAid stand mixers sent back to the factory for repairs. While there isn’t anything specially wrong with mine I was wondering if they would be able to do a general rebuild on it, kinda like Kirby does. I’m sure it could have the gears...

So I’ve used this machine for a few weeks for a put it through it’s paces. There are some positives to report. I did bend the lower rack so the wheels stays on the track so that’s good. It is a mechanical dial so one can manipulate the cycle if you so choose. The cycle times are relatively...

Wow what gorgeous machines! Looking forward to a full report about both of them!

I would never go back to a TL, I’ve been in love with my Maximas. Even going to the laundromat the Dexter coin op units I’ve used have still provided for excellent cleaning with fast turnover. I think the end user makes a big difference too. I had roommates in my old residence not long after I...

There is only one wash arm with the spray tower. Everything is fed off the lower wash arm.

So as I noted in the vintage thread about have to give up my Maximas, I did recently have to move apartments and that also meant a change in dishwasher. The previous places I lived I pulled the existing dishwasher and used my own but at least for the time being there is nowhere to store the...

Round two Thank you all for the kind words. It’s been fun for now but I’m sure I’ll want my maxima back soon. I always used the sanitary high temperature cycle for my linens and I just won’t be able to replicate that in a coin op machine. I did another load tonight, I went to a different...

There’s all kind of treasures here will have to come back!

I recently had to move apartments recently on short notice and while I do like my new place I did have to give up having washer and dryer hookups. Therefore the Maximas are in storage for now and it’s off to the laundromat. My first foray was with an older Dexter triple load. It used a nice high...

Looks fantastic! It’s always helpful to have a second machine during the holidays, especially one that can quickly turn around a load of dishes. I would love to to get the chance to use a one arm wonder someday...the loading challenge would be fun...like playing dishwasher Tetris!

I have an Oster kitchen bender as part of an Oster kitchen center. The tips page in the manual gives reference on making butter, it also talks about chopping ice so I’m sure it could do sorbets as well. The base on this unit is only rated at 450 watts so I’m sure yours could handle whatever you...

You can see that model in this whirlpool laundry catalog that was posted some time ago. Somehow Whirlpool got 4 cycles out of that timer but otherwise a basic bottom of the line machine. https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?47983

Fantastic find. Looks to be in great condition. It’s always fun to go back to the roar and splashy drama of a vintage dishwasher. Surprisingly I haven’t missed the extra space in my Bosch tall tub compared to the Super Racks in my Potscrubber III. The lower rack has take some getting used to...

I have had my Maytag Maximas now for 7 or 8 years. Most of the cycles I use clock in at 2-3 hours. I always use cycles that engage the heater, but you need a fairly long wash to get any meaningful raise in temperature. I use Allergen a lot, on hot the default time is 40 minute wash ( 1 hour 40...

My vote goes to the ultra wash (#2) as well, it’s the newest, would be reliable and is a powerhouse performer. Very simple and easy to work on. The only issue might be the racks, I would check to see that they aren’t rotted/rusted too badly. On a side note, I hope someone gets that...
