1953 Hotpoint Dishwasher kicks out the KitchenAid 14 Portable

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

But there are 2 french toast plates......Inquiring minds want to know! You don't usually let them stay for breakfast.

HEY, ***hands on hips***, that's the pizza plate from the night before! I've never seen red French Toast before. hmmmph.

How long is the cycle, Robert?
Eugene the cycle is 50:15 total. It goes like this:

SPRAY/DRAIN - 0:45
DRAIN - 0:45
FILL - 0:45
WASH 4:15
DRAIN - 0:45
FILL - 0:45
WASH 4:15
DRAIN - 0:45
FILL - 0:45
RINSE 0:45
DRAIN - 0:45
FILL - 0:45
RINSE 0:45
DRAIN - 0:45
DRY HEAT AND FAN 14:15
DRY HEAT ONLY 9:00

*The impeller runs during FILL so a :45 second rinse is more like a 1:15 minute rinse as the machine fills fast.
 
Great Hotpoint!

Wow, Robert, that looks like a machine I have seen only in ads! The light-up Hotpoint dial just takes the cake! The full-size reversible upper rack is also quite something - it must be a lot of fun to use!
It looks like it did a fine job cleaning, too - I am quite the fan (pun intended) of the impeller dishwashers!!
Is this model the gravity-drain one or does it have a pump??
 
I must concur with Robert about gravity drains. In my opinion it's one less mechanical part to worry about breaking down.
 
Cool

I think you have a beautiful kitchen. I hope that in 2011 when I come for a conference in your fair city I can come see your collections. BTW what do you mean by temporarily alone?? Hope it's a good thing. ;-)

uhm, lovely palate of pastels, but where is the seafoam green?
And dont give me that cra*p that is has to be an appliance color, ok?

Hey I see what looks like a 10-cup Farberware rice-cooker, the very kind I donated to Goodwill because I burned the rice ever time. What's your secret?

And pardon the nosy-ness, please. Does you house have natural gas? 'Cause the cooker/stoive is electric. Is this common in your area? Here for the most part if a house has gas it's also what one cooks with.

Of course, if the house is clean :-D

Sea - Foam would clash with the Turquoise, I like Sea-Foam but not as much as I like Turquoise, its my favorite color.

Burned rice is delicious. :)

All houses here have natural gas here. Behind the range is a 220 volt line as well as a gas line, both were installed there long before I moved in. But I wouldn't be caught dead cooking on a gas stove. I find baking is so much better out of an electric oven and the only thing I found that cooking on gas cooktop that works better is when you are cooking milk. But I use a Pyrex star grate under the pot and it simulates the results of cooking milk on a gas cooktop. Give me a GE or Hotpoint 40" range any day over anything so smelly as gas.
 
Suggestion:

Robert:

If you're looking for a top for the Hotpoint, may I suggest a white polypropylene cutting surface? You've seen the white poly cutting boards in kitchenwares shops, I'm sure. Poly board comes in custom sizes if you go to a restaurant supply house, which Minneapolis has to have several of. If you'll get a 1-inch thickness, you'll have a very sanitary cutting surface that is kind to knives, and it can be washed in a DW, providing one of your arsenal of machines is big enough. Poly board is great stuff. P.S.: Depending on the restaurant supply house, a moat and well can be routed into the edge of the board after it's cut. Some places can do this, some can't. It's a very useful feature if you're cutting meat.
 
Hi Robert. Great collection of dishwashers. They are look to be in perfect condition. I would love to see them in action with plexiglass doors.
