Had a little time to kill and visited Kitchenaid's website. I checked out their new line of dishwashers. It seems ALL their models feature the venerable Hobart introduced 4 way Hydra Wash Arm. Thank Goodness; from the reasonably priced model to the fancy almost $2000 machine they all have the 4...

Looking at this picture, this Firestone washer looks like a Newton Iowa Maytag classic stripped down. Still the looks I like, round tub opening. Were Firestone washers made by Maytag?

Years back, I looked through an old builder's magazine from the 1950's and saw an ad for a most unusual dishwasher. At first it looks like a typical 1950's under counter built in dishwasher until you read the ad copy. On the other side of the dishwasher which would normally be the back end...

Looking at all the pictures on this site and Flickr, I spotted many Fridgidare advertisements. What year did they start making frost free models? When did they become squared instead of the funky 50's rounded look? Anyone remember a top of the line 1950's rounded top early side by side...

I'm looking to buy a new dishwasher and want to go with Kitchenaid. Checking their website, I noticed their premium models have abandoned the venerable 4 way wash arm (hydro sweep) and instead are going with the 2 arm S shape found in lower priced models from Whirlpool and Kenmore. Whereas the...

1. Anyone have pictures or descriptions of a 1950's era dishwasher called "Ling Tempo?" I believe they had a glass door where you could see all the action. 2. There was a built in dishwasher with two doors! One that opened into the kitchen and one that opened onto the outside/patio? Who made...
