I know some people on here are not fans of the KUD22 series but I have always loved them. My grandmom had the cheapest KitchenAid you could buy at the time KUDB22. I’m in the Philadelphia area and I remember that was the only KitchenAid advertised in the Sunday newspaper ads for $399.99, other models were a lot more expensive. Her’s only had normal, light/china, and rinse and hold and zero water heating. Nothing ever needed to be rinsed and it was quick. Burnt on items did have a harder time due to lack of heat. The next KUD I got was a KUDS22 which was loaded. Love it so much and it had water heating. It washed almost everything I tossed at it. I moved and it was left behind. I was casually on Facebook Marketplace and ran across a KUD22 series less than 20 minutes away. It was listed for $100 and looked nice.
I went to pick it up, it was in nice shape, loaded the car and headed home. Once at home I looked at it closer and discovered that it was hardly ever used. It still had a “remove when installed” sticker on the rack. I think when the townhouse was built, it was installed and never used. Of course there was one small chip in the porcelain but I touched that up. I never recall seeing this model though. I’ve seen the models with the knob and buttons or the superba with all buttons and lights. It is a KUDP22. The oddest part is the rinse and hold has 2 rinses, which is correct according to the owner’s manual. None of any of the other KUD22 series had a double rinse and hold, that I am aware of.
