Joe,
I noticed that your KD-10 also has a fan blower for the dry portion of the cycle.
It's sad that it isn't a common feature on all DW's. If would make things dry so much easier and eliminate condensation left over after that part of the cycle finishes especially on plastics.
And WOW! 35 minutes for a complete cycle. Compared to today's DW you could almost do three loads of dishes in yours compared to the time that todays DW's would do one.
Said it before, I'll say it again- GREAT MACHINE!

Ya done good, I don't think I could have done much better. Love all you dishes. Are they vintage too?
35 Minutes!!!
In just 35 minutes, all my dishes are clean and with no pre-rinsing. They are dry to the touch warm and with no water spots. PERFECT!!!
I would be willing to put this 1949 Kitchen KD-10 Dishwasher up against any new modern dishwasher for the test!
I think the KD-10 would win!!!

It HAS to be more economical
Hell...it runs 1/4 the time of a new one, and I bet it uses about 12 gallons or so of water, water is a lot cheaper than electricity!!

Congratulations Joe, it's a wonderful machine. We love our 12, the water movement and pressure is amazing in there and they are very durable machines.
Running times may vary, but considering the differing motor sizes between then and now, it is (probably) a moot point. Not sure of the wattages between machines, so I can't say for sure. The bigger differences would come from insulation and actual water usage today.
Still though, if it works, who cares?

Alright. So now I think Im going to keep my eyes open for a KD for my 1956 MCM home renovation. From what Ive gathered here I think it would do a better job than my 56 GE? What was the last year for the KD? And how many models/revisions where there in the line?
I'm late to the party - but congrats Joe! Glad you got her up and running again!
