Dishwashers were one of my favorites during my decades of "FRIGIDAIRE-ITUS" I liked the ease of loading and,my grandmother (Mom's Mom we didn't dare to call grandma but Mado instead)had the Imperial built in model along with the matching wall oven,cooktop and DeLuxe Jet Action 12 pound capacity washer.The frig conked out back in 1974 and she went to Sears to get a Coldspot.All the condos there had the same layout in their kitchen and laundry areas but,due mostly to abuse and missuse of the applainces there,my grandparents were the only ones who still had most of the original appliances built in to the units. My g'father was one of the maintanance men and the manager of the site.He did not like the washer and always called it their "thrashing machine"but it outlasted them both.He worked for GM (Chevrolet plant in Dundalk,MD.)56 years and was able to get 25% off all FRIGIDAIRE appliances but didn't take advantage of that until after he retired from GM.When they originaly lived with and basicly raised us as kids,I always hoped that,if any of our appliances ever broke down,that he'd go and replace them all with the FRIGIDAIRES.However,after my7 Mom's death,my g'parents moved and sold my dad their three shares of the house and got the condo.After being there 2 years,the owners credited my g'dad for the entire amount paid in full of the condo and let them live there absolutely free because he was like me and enjoyed staying busy no matter what the job.He would do everything from replacing appliances to painting,wallpaper hanging and burning the trash in their gas incinerator.He was rich as shit when he died because all the pension checks were never cashed and none spent.His pay at the homesite was in a huge 5 foot high Miller Beer bottle full of hundred,fifty and twenty dollar bills.
