Greg, how do luck out like that? We had one very similar to that only our was harvest gold and a built in model. We ran that thing for years, it outlasted us, still going strong in the 90's when we left that house.
Nice find!
Now, which one will you use to dry the dishes?
;-) Slap me hard

Steve (Sacto), that was the next to TOL, the LK was right above it.
Eddy, ours was still going strong when mom decided it needed to be replaced in 1988. There were several tine pegs that had rusted and broken off in the bottom rack and just didn't hold as much plus putting rust on some of the dishes. So out it went, much to my chagrin, in came my same dishwasher, a GSD1200 GE. And I'll be glad to slap you hard too.

We had one too
My parents put this into their beach house in Sandbridge (Virginia Beach)in 72/73. It was built in and had an orange Formica panel to match the countertops, as did the GE dispenser refrigerator.
I remember it having a distinctive sound - very strong pur. It also got really hot in the sani-wash and yes in those days you could really smell the detergents after the wash was over.

Here's my dishwasher/work cart.As I said,it's pretty sad,it would take a lot to bring 'er back.I think it's doing what it's meant to do now.

Kenny, how bad is the inside? No, the above picture didn't traumatize me.
I have to agree YOW! I love the lighted controls and those 1970's over the top textured buttons!
Texture and "natural" colors = 1970

Greg,
You must share the virgin voyage with us!
I think that Steve 1-18 has this same version. Portable also.
Not new of course.
I am sure that you have be tossed back and forth with feelings of should I use her, or should I not.
I say go for it!
She has been waiting to be put into service.
Unless you are waiting to hear back from Sears on the Service agreement on the first day of use.
I am so happy that you found this dishwasher.
Wish I could be there to see, hear, and smell his first wash!
Brent

oooooooooooooo!!!
That machine is B E A U T I F U L ! ! ! Can't wait for John to get my Grandmother's going now. Same machine but I think her's was a little older. The great "hurricane" wash....or so one of the ads read for that machine! Mark

Finish
Hi Guys,
Finish is still available in Australia, its our Premium brand DW detergent. Its enzyme based now, and comes in Powder, Liquid, 2 in one Tabs, 3 in one Tabs and 4 in one Tabs. The powder is still available in the cardboard boxes that it came in when I was growing up.
They've also just released a product which you're supposed to add a tablespoon full of to the dishwasher, and it is just supposed to remove burnt on Cheese etc. I have tried it yet, but I'll be curious to see how it performs.
Regards
Nathan

Did you vet use this?
Just curious to know if this was ever unwrapped and fired up? It’s been 18 years after all lol.

Here it is! Have used this dishwasher once in a while, should probably use it more often. Love the sounds, takes me right back to our kitchen when I was 8, ear to the door.
Proof of life pics: 1. Nov. 2022 cleaning up Thanksgiving. 2. Storing Boontonware
Love it!
I’m glad to see it’s still being used and loved all these years later. I have to fire up my Old RR Portable Maytag again soon. Cheers!

Had the built-in version of that model in Coppertone in the second half of the 70s. Prior to that, we had a Harvest Gold portable, possibly that same model as well
Where'd those 18 years go, yikes.
