[vpalacios]

Hello everyone,

I just bought a house and found this old Sink /dishwasher Combo and I know nothing about. I want to start with you guys. What can you tell me about this beautiful piece of time?

OOH!  Cool!  A KitchenAid Electric Sink - I'd guess late 60s early 70s but I am sure that someone who knows more about these than me will be able to help out here.   It looks in pretty good shape - can you post some photos of the inside of the dishasher??

I will, thank you I am very interested to see if we can get something for it.

That Is!

The best dishwasher you will ever use, 45 minutes for a whole cycle and everything comes out clean and dry!!! 12 gallons of water is all it uses.

KDS-17 Dishwasher Sink Combo

Your new DW was built from 1971-1976 it is a powerful rugged machine. This was one of the most produced KAs ever and was TOL at the time, it is a little overcomplicated but well built and it uses much closer to 20 gallons of water per full cycle, in fact this model is tied with a late 1970s GE DW for being one of the most water thirsty DWs ever.

It's still an amazing dishwasher. Loaded correctly, it's a "hurricane in a box" with its cleaning might. Hold on to it!!

It Is!

Still the best, according to the owners manual it uses 12 gallons, but if John says it uses more, I believe him!!I would say you probably could get 100 dollars , maybe more maybe less,Depends on who is wanting it!I had this same dishwasher several years ago and I can testify, it will even blast off burned on grease, I never saw anything like it!!

$100 is about right

One of these was for sale in Durham just a few months ago.  I bought the dishwasher for $50, if I remember correctly.  I didn't have a use for the metal cabinet and top, so the guy was keeping that to sell seperately.
