NEW WASH ARM DESIGN
Matt you are correct that this is a good wash arm design and like you I just cannot accept having a HOT DW running in my kitchen for even two hours. DWs have very little real thermal insulation around them, I am sure that it is not even R-2 in insulating value. The Frigidare DWs that have been around now for almost ten years do the alternate wash arm thing and they work very poorly and end up just moving food residue from one area of the machine to another. I guess one of these years I will try one of these new machines just to see how bad they are. Although my friend and coe owner Jason has had at least 20 different DWs in his house over the last ten years and none have worked as well as the 1/3 HP motor WP power-clean design and he always goes back to them.
