s"Cascade helps protect you nice aluminum pots and pans"

well sure that's YOUR opinion....

but it does not say will not change their color and make them come out looking streaked!

Aluminum is to dishwasher as toaster is to bathtub "Nothing good shall come of this" Rhett.

As for "Leave it to Beaver" family...my father may have had an idea that there was a DW in the house..as they were noisy as all H#LL.. but to actually be able to find it and touch it and unload it..

Heaven forbid... he must have belived his man parts would have shriveled and fallen off!

LOL
 
dad and noisy dishwasher

The old ones sure were noisy. Our Hotpoint could actually be heard outside the house. My dad grumbled and growled every time the thing was turned on...it interfered with his tv. My mother saw the noise as a sign of work she did not have to do...bring on the noise, SHE wasn't washing the dishes....
 
universal appeal

Pop heard it saves water and keeps wife quiet; and keeps him from having to work in the kitchen.

Mom heard it saves time and eliminates cross-contamination..(one kid getting the other sick.)

Next sale at Sears, and VOILA...Sears Lady Kenmore TOL (by D&M)

There were enough bells and whisles on it to keep this kid entertained for nearly a decade!!!
 
bells and whistles

Wouldn't it have been nice if there had been a window in these machines of our childhood? Sure would have kept me entertained even more than it did...
 
the total forbidden cycle--watching (inability to) a dishawsher work. Well, some club members have removed that taboo of dishwasher watching.
 
Dad and Dishwasher

We are originally from upstate New York and left when I was about 8 as my Dad got transferred with this job. Every few months my Mom (who was and still is VERY independent) would pack us into the car and we'd drive home for a bit. She was homesick for years.

One time my Dad called my Mom at my Grandmother's house complaining he couldn't find something in the kitchen. She told him it was probably in the dishwasher. He said it wasn't. She said it was and he finally admitted he didn't know how to get into it to look. It was a Kitchen Aid model Varicycle with the flip up handle. She had to tell him how to flip up the handle to get in.

My Dad is a Mechanical Engineer and should have been able to figure that one out. He was just a little embarrassed!!
 
Access to dishwashers.

Have an aunt by marriage

(Austin: that's "tia politica" in Spanish.... for your vocabulary)

who had a Whirlpool DW with a phone-dial style timer. Her sister [who lived with uncle and aunt] knew how to start that one.

My aunt goes to Europe and leaves a machine full of dirties.

It was a Kitchen Aid. Add detergent, close cup, latch door, press button. Aunt's sister could not figure it out and washed the contents of the machine by hand. Apparently uncle was clueless as well.

My aunt's siter had been in America by that time for 20 years and had taken classes in English (complete with certificate suitable for framing). I know for a fact she can handle the meaning behind "Normal Wash" LOL LOL LOL LOL
