I know we have some KA fans here...this is a terrific production commissioned by Hobart for the EnergySaver IV's. "The Dishwashers of the '80s"!

19 Series!

Love those KPM tracks, hopefully they won't trigger a copyright flag.

And my KDC19's a lovely reliable machine.
Gotta love that 1/2 horsepower pump motor!

Biggest motor installed in a residential dishwasher. Hobart was still using that motor up until somewhat recently on their SR-24 commercial dishwashers.

1/2 HP should be the minimum for automatic dishwashers. Want to talk about energy efficiency? How about a cool running motor.

Wouldn't jive today, most want a silent running dishwasher in these modern times. They would miserably fail efficiency standards in electricity use alone without incorporating water use. Besides, there isn't enough water use allowed to make them operational. My KDS-18 uses more water in the first couple of minutes than a modern dishwasher uses for an entire cycle. Norma/Sani cycle is a thirsty 18 gallons of water. Pots and Pans is mid 20's.
