Malcolm - there were two versions of this machine. One has a Penta-Swirl and the other has a DA.
The DA version that year was naturally more touted.
The machine overall has six cycles, five temps, and four water levels. At least a softener dispenser was included and possibly a bleach dispenser also. This would have been the middle of Kenmore's bread and butter models as having most everything you need with little that you don't.
