What do you expect me to do with that little thing?
Trust me 6 inches makes a HUGE difference.
My first DW was the 1982 version of this 18 inch (45cm)one.
Stinks for washing large pots however.
Never did understand why the silverware bin was so relatively huge.
At the time I was a car-less NYC dweller. I put colorful contact paper over the carboard box, cut off the bottom thereby exposing the wheels/casters and very gingerly rolled the damned thing home (many many many blocks away from the Sears on Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens all the way to 179th Street.)
The neighbors and management never saw it come in. Well they saw it, they just did not recongize it as what it was. Ye old contact-paper-over-the-box trick works very well especially around Christmas time. {Lanlords in this city don't usually want you to have appliances in that they generally supply water and hot water (at the taps) at their expense.}
Thanks for the blast from the past.

I LUV it.!!!
The ads and the styles that is.
My best friend at the time, her mother bought a '79 coffee colored model.
In like 78 and 78 Sears did that stupid one piece front panel thing. IT was weird looking, hard to clean, hard to change color panels on. The heigth of bad user unfriendly appliance designs. Not only that they were always having a problem with the drain hose kinking inside the machine. Then in '80 SEars simple took the control panels (plastic) and went back to the original style D&M designed control console. Literally reusing the the plastic panel but with the removable separate control console. A smart move really.
I don't know so much about the servicability of the 18" model over say the 24" It is cute you have to admit. like a 20" stove vs a 30". I admit, I would get it based on that. And I have.
Unlike todays portables that only come in white on the sides with just the front the color of your choice, back then you would get the entire machine the same color.
O.K. I am going away from the technical stuff and back to floating on my 70s cloud. I want that wallpaper... and the cookie jar, and those cabinets, and that counter..... floating, floating. ...the coffe cup tree(I don't drink coffee) .. Marshmellow and harvest gold sweet dreams for everyone.....

My parents have a modern day version of this in their apartment, but it has a tower for the top rack water distribution. The top rack looks just like this. However, the bottom rack is aweful with the cut-out for the tower.
18" Kenmore!
These were so great because they didnt put in the tower. It had spray arm under top rack. I dont know why they went backwards to the tower. I had a early 80's model like the TOL above and loved it.

I confess I made a DW homeless.
Those cut-outs stink!
As you have both mentioned my 80's verison did not have one.
My current hosue had an newer 18-inch Frigidaire (very much a D&M) with a cut-out when I bought it. To the curb it went. No regrets; no remorse.
