The thing is Jerome, short/fast was the byproduct of where the appliance industry headed. 1) Ever larger capacities 2) cost cutting to compensate for raw material inflation 3) less energy per cycle. The sum of the US nation mindlessly nodded to energy efficiency while being smitten by those giant tub sizes that appease to people who hate doing laundry to the point they cram everything into a single load with no care in the world.
Truth be, if you really wanted the creme de le creme of dish-washing- true energy efficiency - performance- repair ability- and durability that would involve taking the body of a KDS-17, designing in a Whirlpool Power Clean filter module, extended wear seal, 900 watt heater minimum, and a 30 minute main wash. That would be ideal, and lead to the best no nonsense cleaning.
The thing is, energy efficiency aside, not many people are willing to bring noise and reduced loading capacity back into their kitchen, especially when they've gotten used to pre-rinsing with their tall tubs.
But as I said Jerome, if everyone was like me the world would have no problem plopping down $2,000+ for machine that would be capable of pulling off a GSD-600D in longevity, build quality of Hobart Kitchen-Aid, and cleaning ability of a Kenmore Ultra Wash. Landlords and Hotels would have no issue of spending $750 for a basic plastic tub Power Clean. In fact most of these machines would most likely come with a 240 volt 1,500 watt heater given just how much utilization equipment would have already drifted over to 240 volts.
Tall tubs would never have caught on, few would have bought them, and those who did would've made any sales floor look like the Sears Calypso refund 2.0. Whirlpool and Sears would also have been hit with a clash action suit due to the unacceptably high number of premature seal failures on their Power Cleans. Those condemn 8 year old Kenmore Ultra Wash should never have happened. If the seals can't rival a 1984-1992 Potscrubber en mass, then its not a real seal. Problems would be solved around common sense evidence based solutions and not temporary feel good litigation eviscerating the freedom which society was built upon.
