Odd looking machine, it looks like it might be less than 24" wide, but I can't tell for sure...

It looks like it would make a good BBQ if not used as a dishwasher...

FRIGIDAIRE bothers to build in more help
FRIGIDAIRE designed this model to make it easier(FRIGIDAIRE bothers to build in more help)for consumers to load and unload without falling in or reaching too far down.Maytag also tried this with their top loading Neptunes.

This is one of the very, very few
top-loading dishwashers that ever interested me, and if I A) had the room, and B) it were closer, I might C) get it.
Since A) and B) do not apply.....

Very Cool!
Pdub just got one of these not that long ago. I had never seen one before. Pretty cool how it works though. Very clever designs!

I love it too.
But it says "3 Level Wash". I don't see anything on the top to spray down.

Methinks "Three Level Wash" refers to the three racks, not the amount of wash arms.

Exactly as I remember them. Not a bad little dishwasher although they are loud.

Super Surge
The 3 levels are the 1)base,2)the center of the arm which has perferations in it that spray horizontaly outword onto the plate's faces and bases.Then the top which sprays upword for glassware,coffee cups,bowls and outword for saucers and smaller plates.I only wish SOMEBODY had the FRIGIDARE information video player that used to be around!It had all the features and showed their wonderful Super Surge computor developed wash system in action as well as the 7 bladed stainless steel pulverizer which ground up any and all food particles that washed off the dishes,no pre rinsing.I had the front loading,convertible Custom Imperial model that had 5 level Super Surge wash action.

I have an add for this machine. Pretty groovy, but the scan is not that great but here it is anyway.
The "Jack-in-the-box" racks that "gently rise up to meet you" copy has interesting overtones.
Mechanically it solves the access problem but I wonder how much capacity is lost with all the extra rack wiring.
To each his own. I guess some people still like avocado and 70's styling. But, sorry, overall, that thing is utt-buggly.

My parents had a Frigidaire dishwasher similiar to this. It was purchased in 1965-1966. It was the Frigidaire Imperial. The racks and the insides look exactly the same. The controls were on the top/back, and the that back panel light up. The top was a formica butcher block look. This was their first machine. It really did a great job washing. It was all push buttons, and had a button for a 150 degree wash.
When the machine broke, it was replace with a Frigidaire front load dishwasher. The front load did not wash as well. Food particles were left on items in every load. Had to pre-rinse.

SuperSurge?
Intriguing. Bob, wasn't this the machine that cavitated with air all the time, hence the surging action? Considering this is how some machines dealt with china/light conditions so as to reduce the water force, I'm thinking this machine would not exactly clean the chrome off a Caddy, so to speak.
Nevertheless, extremely cool and a decided conversation piece! This'd be one of those machines--like the rotating-cylinder Tappan--that I'd have just for pure coolness' sake
