Kitchenaid 23 Series dishwasher

[stevet]

I have this unit listed on Craigslist but if any member from the forum is interested in it, I will remove the ad and deal directly with any inquiries
It seems that not many people in this area are interested in the machine and I would rather sell it to someone who appreciates the unit for what it is than to part it out.
It works fine and does an excellent job of cleaning. And it is a whole lot faster than anything out there these days. But you all already know that!

No takers?

I cannot understand why there has been so little interest in this machine. Is there some unknown fact or facts I am unaware of? Amazingly, the racks are near perfect and no chips in the porcelain at all and it is pretty quiet for an old style Kitchenaid.
Okay it is probably from the early 90's but it doesn't eally look heavily used at all.

Photo to help the cause

here's some pics - you should always add photos anyways, here...even with the link. It's just convenient for the potential shopper.

good luck!

I would love to have it...

if it wasn't so bloody far away. If only to have the racks! That machine for sale looks like circa 1995-ish late model 23 series. I've got a 1993 (earlier KUDS23 Superba) with black panel and chrome buttons. Hobart with WP pump. I'm sure somebody here will have interest....locally it will sadly probably sit unsold for a little while. Which is craziness!

Steve...I just had a thought to help you:

Spend a few minutes and pull the door trim strip off--see if you have either steel or black panels behind the white. If so, change out the door and lower panel to one of those colors and relist.

That machine will look much more updated to a prospective buyer....these KA machines look much more expensive when they're not white.

Craigslist is FULL of white/bisque appliances and there's a reason for that.

Also offer to demonstrate the machine running if you can.

I also would like to have it ... but same issue with the distance / transport.

Same here.

I am looking for a good machine to put in my house when I sell it so I can take my KDS20 with me.  It's just too far away and I'm sure would be cost prohibitive.

 

I know if you give that machine your blessing it is a good one!!

Good Points, Guys!

Allen, the machine actually does have the black panels and I mentioned in the ad that it had the vari-front panels but not everyone knows what that means. I will turn them around and post the pics in the ad and on here.

Ralph, just get in your car and drive down and get the darned machine already. Would you make the trip if I said I had a Superba 22 series available as well?

Thanks, for the input It is much appreciated

I would if it was a KDS-14!!!

Especially if it was one YOU had refurbished.  Then I would know I had a winner!!!  Although I would still have the issue of needing one to leave in the kitchen when I sell the house.

Still have this?

What is the specific model number? I am in Gainesville, and would be interested if this was still available. Let me know.
