And speaking of Canadiana, how about a vintage Inglis dishwasher?

Life has kind of gotten in the way of my collecting and restoration work over the past couple of weeks, but I did manage to snag this neat Inglis (or 'Canadian Whirlpool') Royal 100 'Scour Wash' dishwasher. This one has me puzzled as to it's age... My first guess would be mid-70s but the aluminum motor access panel reminded me of the 1967 Inglis dishwasher a friend's folks had. There was no sound insulation on this one and no top spray arm or jet, yet the machine appears to be a TOL model. What would the equivalent Whirlpool model have been to this one?? I don't remember seeing a lot of Inglis dishwashers with a hidden rapid-advance timer...

It was used, but not abused from what I can see...

Oohs and aahs...

an ajustable top rack!! I have never had a dishwasher with one of those!!

I always thought the in-door cutlery basket and utensil basket were introduced in the 1980s (well, OK, just because hubby's 1986 Kenmore dishwasher happened to have them...)
Oh, and the dishwasher works great and there are no leaks! This was one of only two dishwashers in the collection that I had a chance to actually test myself before buying them. Of course, I had to actually remove this one from the kitchen where it was installed, too, but that was a minor detail!

It even came with....

the original owner's manual! I thought this might be fun to post, so bear with me while I upload all 12 pages...

Cycle description and timing. Still can't get that '2 Speed' wash concept into my head for a dishwasher!

Paul, this machine could have been from as late as the early to mid 1980s. I'll have to wait and see if this had a "2-speed " feature for china/crystal or not. but Sears had a rapid-advance timer Lady Kenmore version of this until like 1988 or 1989 before the digital equivalent came along. With this machine having the gentle action for china-crystal, this could be from the mid-to late 1970s. A cousin got a neighbors used Whirlpool version of this that was from like the mid-to late 1970s. When she got it, only one or two cycle buttons worked.

I do find it interesting the scour wash heated only the prewash and final rinse and not also the main wah. I think the U.S. versions did do a heat delay in the main wash too on the Super Scour equivalent. With ScourWash cycle used, this is the most intense cleaning dishwasher you've ever encountered. I think i9t's beter than any KitchenAid. These will clean the chrome off a trailer hitch.
