Murphy's Law!

Ether they are to far away or not the right model! Dammit! This is about 30 min from me. Why couldn't this have been a superba?

Sold

This was posted last week... I E-mailed the seller, he said it had been sold and was just leaving the building... not sure if this is the seller re-selling or a scam....

Great dishwasher

My grandparents had that model only in a portable version same color everything. They bought the machine new in 1979? I remember being with them when they bought it and I was only 5. When my grandma died my grandpa gave the dishwasher to my sister and her first husband for a house warming gift. The machine was still washing strong in 1996 and ZERO repairman calls.

Nice Unused KDI-18

There is nothing like getting a vintage appliance that is NEW, but unfortunately there is no water heater in the 18s except for the KDS-18s, Kitchenaid like several other companies like GE and MT made top cleaning performance a step-up feature, the KDS-18s with their water heater element and extra rinse really do make for a better performing DW.  

 

The good thing about the mid and bottom of the line KD 15-17 DWs is that they did tend to last longer [ based on our experience of working on THOUSANDS of these DWs ] than the TOL S models, pump seals, racks etc all lasted longer because the cleaning was not as aggressive and complete, there is always a trade-off.
