Brent, you are so right!! It is wonderful to have a KitchenAid in my kitchen at last. Everytime I run this machine I am amazed at the results. Just tonight I did a load on the short wash cycle, 35 min. all done, washed, rinsed,and dried. Everything spotless. Haven't done a soak and scrub yet as everything comes out great on either a short wash or the normal cycle. Also I am not using any jet-dry with this machine yet and still have not one spot. My silver ware has never looked better!! YAY for vintage KitchenAid!!!!
