Waste King will Make You a Queen in Your Kitchen

[mickeyd]

So is this what we have to do to get Big Al on the boards--find a Waste King "Supreme" ? I'm on the hunt! 

 

Greg, the next time you have a fun filled family weekend, I hope you carve a nice roast of ham, turkey, lamb, beef, pork, or kielbasa on that first-class carving board. It's huge and unused.

 

Al, I love the big squared-off arms, too.

 

Beautiful pix, Guys, and what a shock for me  to see Stainless Steel in a 72.  Honestly though it was one of "them new fangled thangs," available only lately,  as far as interiors go.

"The best thing about your new DW is that it is a portable, so not only will you not waste time installing it but it will also be easy to push aside when you find out that it is not that great of a DW. "

Best. Line. Ever.

My beef with ours wasn't the performance per se, and it sure wasn't with the handsome looks, which this shares. It was with the absolutely so-so wash performance on the regular cycle, which was non-steam (we had the Thermador version with steam generator). It wasn't bad. It wasn't great, either. It was meh.

If you ran even the shortest of the steam cycles, the performance was SPECTACULAR. I just didn't get why it couldn't handle run-of-the-mill loads that didn't need steam.

The top rack was awesome in that you could pull all the loops and dividers, and use it as one big, flat basket if you wanted to--which was ultra-helpful for baking loads. But the bottom rack was regimented beyond belief, and Ralph's cries of desperation were deftly illustrated by the picture of bowls climbing up over other items just to get them in there. The tines are so closely spaced, with the curlicues at the top, that you don't have much in the way of freedom.

Lord help you if you crammed something odd-sized and tall in the bottom rack, and forced the rack back in, lest the top arm and conduit snap off from the bottom.

I'll be eager to hear how this one does--it may be a great performer if it does not share our Thermador's cycle sequence that paused briefly during the steam segment if it wasn't selected, and thus allowed the water to do nothing and cool for a few minutes. I think that had a lot to do with its mediocrity.
