1953 Hotpoint Dishwasher kicks out the KitchenAid 14 Portable

[Unimatic1140]

Look how beautiful the 1953 Hotpoint came out! I sweated a new copper line and ran a drain line to that side of the kitchen so there could be permanent water and drain connections over here. All connections are completely hidden under the dishwasher. The KitchenAid 14 Portable used to sit here, but once I installed the KD-12 "Pimp my Dishwasher" DW, I never used the 14 anymore. No need for two similar dishwashers in the kitchen, variety is the spice of life.

All I need to do is have a nice opaque white Plexiglas top cut for the machine or maybe even a wooden chopping block.

Hotpoint lights up when the dishwasher is running.

Love the spiral dish design on the rack that were the style for Impeller dishwashers.

The upper rack is reversible...

Time to clean up, not quite a "Bob Load" but best I can do now that I'm living alone, temporarily .

Some Cascade goes into our tipsy dispenser...

All done, everything is clean and completely dry without any rejects...

Upstairs looks good too!

DW's open...

Rack comparison, I use the KD-14 racks in the KithchenAid because they hold more and are better designed than the 12's racks...

Great collection of classic US dishwashers there Robert!

They look great, but its the Hotpoint that does it for me.
What a great looking machine.

Oh Robert,,,

What a beauty.
I was just thinking the other day if you had got around to installing that gem. You have such a beautiful kitchen. I just love the colors and especially the GE Range.
Congratulations and Good Luck with the New Hotpoint. Eddie
