Kitchenaid sink-dishwasher combo......

[mihi]

This is a unique item. a sink and dishwasher combo. Though you likely can install any standard size dishwasher into it, its quite cool. Wish I was closer to Raleigh.
Anybody know about these things?

Very cool - disposer, hot water dispenser and dishwasher. KitchenAid carried these in their line until the 18 series, I think. It must have been a bear to move that!

This is worth the trip!

A KDS15 dishwasher sink combo?? WOW! from 1965-67 era.. Who wouldn't want one for their basement or garage or even thier retro kitchen?
Get it while the getting is good!

So far, I've owned two houses equipped with this sink/dishwasher combo. Both of mine had stainless steel tops and were from the mid 70's.

that is so cool....

This is the first set I remember ever seeing. Maybe they're not as common in the South as in other places, I don't know.

David (cycle monitor) emailed this to me showing the 19 series with a combo sink/dishwasher still offered. Beautiful - they don't make them like this anymore!!

KDS19!

My Mom had the KDS19 for 25 years. Really great machine. I remember they made the sink combo through the 20 series. I once remember seeing a brochure. The 19 and 20 series looked a lot alike - but in the 20 series they put back the dryer heater.

If I remember correctly,some of these were available with stainless steel tanks too!Not limited to porcelain interiors.

KDS19 Series!

Actually to my knowledge only the KDS18 model was offered in SS as a option. The 19 series did not offer that, but with the no heat dry that would have been a great feature.
