Samsungs Water Wall !!!!!!

[xpanam]

What was old is new again! What do you think? I think the engineers looked at old DW technology to come up with something NEW! Ling Temco and James come to mind. Who is going to be the first to signup?

Looks like the WaterWall technology is used only for the lower rack.  Upper rack sports something that looks suspiciously like a traditional, rotating wash arm.

Well......

Nice idea but I question the execution of design on this. For instance, what kind of linkage or mechanism will be used to move that lower arm? Being that is a constantly moving part, it will be subject to a lot of wear and tear.

And is it Algore approved in that it uses something like a whopping 2 gallons of water for the whole wash and probably takes something along the lines of 2-3 hours to wash a load?

Finally, I bet a box of Sears detergent the warranty is one year only. Not exactly a confidence booster, especially for a new design.

A wall of water is nothing new

Hobart has used a Wall Of Water principle in their rack conveyor and flight type machines for decades. Basically the dishes meet an intense wall of well directed recirculating water spray( as fast as 292GPM for flight machines)  as they go through the prewash, wash and power rinse phase of the dishwasher.  While this is the first time I've seen it in home use, and wonder how well it will work.  I would love to see it in action.   I don't see however how a modern household DW would hold near enough water or have 1/5th the pump capacity to create a true wall of water.

As is the word of Hobart, either the dishes have to move through the dishwasher or the spray pattern has to move around the dishes.

I remember KitchenAid ads in magazines that talked about 6 moving walls of water from the Big Blue Wash Arm.

It looks like the Samsung dishwasher operates like a computer image scanner to scan a document. One thing is it only washed a part of the load at any given time whereas a traditional wash arm takes less time moving around so it would tend to wash more of the load at one time.

Is this quieter or noisier than traditional wash arm machines? To quote RCD recently I like "Power washing in a metal barn"!
