I've had a KA SxS fridge for about 24 years. No rust on the stainless doors.
Then again, no magnet will stick to the doors, either.

We wanted to keep the look of the original dishwasher in our kitchen, but wanted a new Bosch. So we combined the two, the best of both worlds.

We took the panel off the new Bosch and sent it an automotive paint shop along with the original panel so they could match the paint.
Once painted we were able to fit the chrome trim and tap some screws into the sides.
It really wasn't too much work.
No need to worry about the controls since they were all hidden on top.
Luckily the chrome trim didn't cover them.

I love that...
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">It reminds me just a little of the old Pull Out Westinghouse dishwasher because the front doesn't have the break in it. In Episode 1, Season 1 it looks Laura Petrie had a Westinghouse kitchen. That changed in Episode 2. </span>

As I recall, my first dishwasher some 25 years ago was a Kitchenaid. It failed in a couple of years and I replaced it with a Bosch. The Bosch has been running fine ever since.
Rich, I believe the first ddishwasher I remember you ddiscussing was the horrible Frigidaire.

Bob,
It could have been a Frigidaire. There was an inoperable dishwasher in this place when I bought it. I replaced it. Whether it was with a Frigidaire or Kitchenaid, I can't remember at this point. All I know is that the Bosch has performed very well for at least 20 years.

Thanks y'all
I'll probably go with the Bosch. It will make Bruce happy, and it's always good to please the spouse--at least some of the time

Yes!
That's what I was saying a couple of years ago. The dw's from the 50s-70s were junky on the inside but looked great on the front. Now it's just the opposite. They are great but look like nothing. Fortunately, the flat front is a free for-all to take the front panels off the old dw and attach it to the blank front on the new dw.
Your painting the new panel is just as good. Impressive work.

I will say this
In my opinion, the very best dishwashers ever made were the one wash arm Kitchen Aids with only one wash arm the 50 plus gallons a minute that pump circulated would blast off absolutely anything, a KDS 17 is pure perfection, and NOTHING dries dishes as well, total water usage is around 14 gallons a cycle and its done in less than a hour.I have put pyrex dishes with burned on baked beans and it came out clean with no scraping.Pay no attention to those who say the top rack wont get clean, as long as you dont place large pans in the bottom, the top will clean because if yo open the door the water will fly over your head and onto the ceiling,
