Toss it up here!
Can I have 3?
KDS-18 with the longer top wash arm and true 180 degree Sani Rinse!
My KDC21-D Imperial derived machine, longer cycles than the Superba of the same genre and better rinses after the washes!
KDS21/22 with the Hobart designed pump. Nothing cleans better than these.
My project when I get back from Italy at the end of June is to recreate a KDS18 but use the 21 pump. Make it non reversing and add an external drain pump to it.

My Maytag
WC400 from 1973.
It wasn't quiet. It drank more than a practising alcoholic.
But, oh could it clean!

Of almost any vintage ilk, none of the KAs I've used have disappointed. (Roger's fault for setting me on the path of Hobart enlightenment...then Greg encouraged it with that 15 :-D ) ;-)

I had a Kitchen-aid and it was very good but I have had 2 Whirlpool made Kenmores and they have been the best.The first Kenmore that I had for nine years was the best and I thought that it was going out and I found another tall tub one on clearence at Sears reg 800.00 for 300.00 and I bought it and gave the other one to a friend it still works great.Why todays dishwashers are not that good is because they are taking the disposers out of them so they are quieter but they do not clean as well.

Dayam Jerry, I'll take you over any automatic dishwasher ever made!!!! CRAP!! That's the best lookin mdel I've seen in years.
I always thought Greg's KDS18 with the black glass fornt panel was one of the sexiest dishwahwers I'd ever seen, but you now have earned that title!!!

KDS-18
I have the Short Wash Arm, and have used the Longer version (Wash Arm that us), and Nothing cleans better. I might be on the Hot Trail of a Vintage Fridgedaire Portable. Stay Tuned !!!
But in the mean time, KDS 18 All The Way. The Over Head "Constant Rinse" gets rid of the yibbles on the top of stuff in the Upper Rack. Why they never worked on that was the biggest disappoinment when they dropped that on the rest of the machines built. You gotta have something overhead to rinse the Crap off the spray from the bottom from either racks.
The AM 14 at the restaurant and for a matter of fact, All Commercial Machines have a Upper and Lower Wash Arm. Makes Sense, doesn't it ? All my Vintage KA's clean well, as long as you have plates in the Lower Rack and put concave objects in the Upper Rack. I feel this limits the capacity.And I still sometimes find Yibbles on the stuff in the upper Rack
Just My Opinion. Eddie

Lady Kenmore
My mother had a avocado Lady Kenmore in 1978. It was the very top of the line. It was the picture of the day a couple of days ago. That thing you could put chicken bones it it and everything else and it came clean. (I am not kidding about the chicken bones) Now I have a Whirlpool Quiet Partner II, and it is a piece of crap. I could probably bet it is still working to this day. Energy efficiency does not work if you half to run the dishwasher twice. It is like King of the Hill and the low flow toilets it doesn't work if it's a bad product.

In your opinion, what is the greatest cleaning dishwasher of
My grandmother with rubber gloves, hot water, detergent and a sponge. Where she came from there was no water in the house and certainly no hot water. She was happier than a clam with runnig water, a dish-pan and a dish-drainer.
My momma's Kenmore-badged TOL Lady Kenmore Roto-rack from 1968 certainly did look like a space-ship with all of its lights and indicators. I think it washed well but mother washed her dishes before puitting them in there!
I loved my Whirlpool Power-clean from the 90's most! Still being made today although I would have to guess dumbed-down to be be (*PUKE*) "energy-star".
Hint: today for a new DW get one that is NOT an enegy star model!

I'd say the Whirlpool power clean module machines,the GE GSD1200 and certain Waste Kings from the mid 70s all cleaned even better than Kitchen Aids,however no DW was ever built better than those Hobart Kitchen Aids.
