Something new

[roto204]

Hee-hee!

We love it, Terry--it's as fantastic as we'd hoped. And ohhhhh, no-heat drying is nice. No more melted Tupperware!

Harry, no, we don't have the 70s Kelvinator anymore--and I'm sorry to say that! Those metal-inner-tub machines were amazing compared to the awful plastic-tub iterations that followed.

Martin--;-) Goodness! And I love the two-dishwasher concept--well, mainly because this was the holiday dishwasher! The other daily-driver was shot and had dull porcelain and un-shiny insides. Install two dishwashers every time--you'll be doing future collectors a favor!

My KUDS220T4 has covers on both dispenser cups, and the instructions direct to use the additional indentation/"cup" for the third wash on Soak & Scrub Pots/Pans.

Ha!!

Togs--Oh, I sayyyyy! No, the contractors did the removal from the $16,000,000 home. I've never set foot in one valued at more than 1.2 mil. Must not be wearing my "good" jeans, I s'pose...just can't break into that market ;-).

Glenn--Wow, it must have just been too long! Either that, or I only ever filled the one

Fantastic find!
Wow! Never used!
Did your new machine have the two rinse version timer or the one rinse? Some of the early Hobart's of this model had two rinses. The last batch had only one rinse.
It is a beauty!
Enjoy!

Thank you!!

Honestly, I can't tell. I thought this was the one rinse, but it does interesting things that my Whirlpool didn't, like purge twice during the cycle, not just during the increment prior to the final rinse. I'll have to sit down and watch it go through its paces and try to determine what it's up to.

The dishes are stellar-clean, though, and I love when it drains and vomits food back into the sink after the purges. Ew.

But Nate . . .

You didn't even advise on the price (cheaper than the beater one), or share how apologetic the guy was when he "suggested" it!

I saw this machine in person on Sunday and was hoping Nate would post something here about it. It's indeed as beautiful as the photos suggest and actually looks great in the enclosure--much better than the Frigidaire did. Nate advised that it could be mine if I wanted it, but I'm still having fun snapping the door shut on my Thermador. I'll hold out for a KDS-22 to have on standby. And besides, after using it once I knew he wouldn't want to give it up. KitchenAids have a way of spoiling you for anything else, particularly a Superba!

Welcome to loading bliss, guarded china and Tupperware that retains its shape!

You've made one giant leap for dishwasherkind from Pinto to Cadillac!

NATE! I can't believe I missed this post, and that peculiar look in your face ;-)

Fantastic find my friend. Nothing like minty new from a gazillionbillonaire's home!

But, how does it wash?

How does it wash?

 

[neptunebob]

Nate did you ever get any parts from the worn-out one? Or was it just too "Shot"? Oh, and would you be a "bear"?

 

[yogitunes]
