Hobart Kitchenaid

Thanks for the info and contact for parts. I'll be purchasing this machine soon and will have to get inspected and installed. I live in the country so I'll have to check my water tank pressure. I think it is at 40psi. Is it true generally speaking that these older washers will last longer than newer ones?

good luck with it

and if you have questions or problems there are many here who can most probably help.

and you can always re-sell it later, older kitchenaids are always in demand.

Generally speaking older appliances will last longer than new ones because the parts used in them are of a higher quality than the new stuff on the market. 20 years ago mfgs took a lot of pride in the durability of their products. Today they just want to get product out the door with little thought to durability.
