Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Kenmore elete!

I had checked over the instruction booklet on this machine. What dissappointed me was when you select hi-temp wash the max temp is 120 and not 140. Also all cycles are expected to run at Least 2 hours. And finally their is a special cycle called one hour wash which is supposed to be the shortest and that runs 1 1/2 hours with drying. (You call that short)
They go with so much BS just to save water and now it's just a matter of development insanity. I hope that whirlpool doesn't put out this model. I agree with Toggles - give me a water hog?

WP-Euro clone

There is a strong resemblance to a Bosch, but it's actually based on the European Whirlpool design. I've seen this at Sears and it looks very nice, but I'll wait for the model with the water softener, coming in the not to distance future - probably not long before the phosphates are removed from d/w detergents in 2010...
 
Since I have a Bosch dsihwasher myself, I can say that the upper sprayarm is very similar to mine, but minde does not have those red points on it.
But great video and nice washing action.
 
Kinda cool video but I thought it ran 30 seconds too long.
Does anyone have the turbo zone and if so does it make much difference?
I think I read in the consumers magazine that the smart wash wasn't any better at sensing and cleaning your dishes than if you had just chose a cycle yourself.
I think they ran the dishwasher empty and it still sensed to change the water the same amount of times as it would have if you chose the short cycle.
Could be wrong.
I still think the cycle runs way too long. But that might be inspiration to have longer conversations at your dinner parties.
No one can leave the table till the dishwasher is finished the first load.
 
Interesting

The wash action was informative (and shows just how little water is running around that sump). I'm not opposed to the idea--I'm sure it works.

I wondered how they dealt with only running one wash arm at a time, and it's interesting to see the downward-pointing jets on the middle wash arm that undoubtedly help shoo food bits off the bottom-rack dishes as the top rack is being washed. I was keen on seeing how they kept particulates moving downward in a system that could not fill the entire tank with a maelstrom of water.

Neat!

I'm still keeping my KUDI22, though :-)
 
Water

charge per fill is:

1.2 gallons or 4.5 litres. 4-5 gallons per cycle. The spray arms alternate.

Whether or not we agree with the federal requirements, the water and energy savings mandates are here to stay.
 
Thanks guys, I tought it used less water. 4 gallons is around 15 L and 5 is around 19 L, it seems normal usage to me, not too less nor too much
