"Where these modern maid dishwashers any good?"

'Sploder:

In the 1980s, I built a new St. Charles kitchen equipped with a Modern Maid drop-in range and one of their dishwashers, too. Both were very troublesome. The basic problem seemed to be cheap materials; I had a lot of problems with rust on the brushed-chrome range top. The dishwasher ate timers for lunch.

Wish I still had that kitchen (St. Charles metal cabinets are great!), but with different appliances.

Wow.. Would they have had late 60's models? Grams swears she had a modern maid dishwasher that caught fire during my aunts wedding in 1875... She replaced it with a Frigidaire and that was there when she moved in 1893...

These were D&M produced dishwashers. I think Sears always got the very best D&M could offer.

The disposers

Are Anaheim/Tappan made and were all over the place in the 70's under names like Whirlaway, Tappan, and Sinkmaster, as well as major appliance names like Caloric, Roper, and Modern Maid.
I have a never used Caloric version of the top model, and a Tappan version of the bottom model.
They were decent disposals!

IIRC D&M was like run-around Sue

Sears,
Modern Maid,
Caloric,
Amana,
Magic Chef,

(and who else?)

in short anyone who wanted a DW under their own badge went to D&M for it.

Kewl, you found "the range that washes dishes" lol.

I remember seeing that in an older bound house and garden magazine from the library in like 1982.

they were all metal back then.

I'm adding the "mash n'hold" cycle to my growing list of favored slogans. lol (therez a list? yes, therez a list.)

"...fiberglas insulation makes you think your dishwasher isn't working until you see the sparkling results."

And then you pull out the top rack...
