Looking for that spinning DW vid

[chris74]

Hi there, I once saw a video of a dishwasher with a rotating dishes basket. It had a see-through lid an was a toploading DW or even an electrical sink. Instead of an impeller it had a spinning rack. Very impressive. Don't know where it was, may be here or on youtube.com. Can anybody help out with the link, please? Thanks in advance...

I do belive this is what you are looking for!   This machine was customized by the webmaster of this site - it is a triumph in engineering to say the least!!

Thanks Paul!  Yes that is my 1965 Lady Kenmore dishwasher that I customized by putting in a window and interior lighting (lights shine in from the outside via a second window put into the left side of the machine).

 

Here is the link...

Introducing the Picture Window Lady Kenmore Roto-Rack!!!!!!!

Remember a few months ago when I found this top of the line, 1965 Lady Kenmore Roto-rack dishwasher? Well my daunting task of installing a window and lighted interior is done. It took nearly 120 hours of work but it so worth it. Here she is all installed in the kitchen. Isn't she a beauty? :-)

Oh cool!  I didn't think to post the whole thread about how this came to be - it still amazes me!

 

And if my Chris ever asks, no, I don't want him to cut a hole in the side of the impeller version of the roto-rack machine I am still restoring... LOL

Could it be that Chris is talking about the Kaiser dishwasher?

 

[chris74]

Thanks, but...

This isn't the machine I am looking for because as I wrote, it was a toploading one and had no lights on it... So no roto-rack here... Another idea anyone?

Is it this machine?  There is a youtube link in there...

Nice Sears roto-rack dishwasher! That thing really must clean dishes!

Many thanks @ Unimatic

Yeah, this was the link I was looking for. Thanks again!

The Roto-rack...

...really performs splish-splash action. I wonder how newer AEG Electrolux dishwashers do the job because they only have one (!!!) nozzle on the satellite lower spray arm...

'I wonder how newer AEG Electrolux dishwashers do the jo

Don't they now take 4 or more hours to clean a load of dishes? I guess that is how they make one nozzle work.

Our Bauknecht...

...PowerClean machine (similar to Whirlpool's) needs four hours too if you go all the way (eco programme + power clean feature). Normally I think they should not take more than two hours. After all, it's a household item and no rocket science...
