70s US DWs
A middle of the line KM-D&M DW would have cost around $239, A KA KDI-17 would have cost about $359, after you added in 5 years of a MA @ $19.95 per year the KA was far cheaper and would have easily lasted another 6 years where as the KM may have been ready to be replaced.
Like SQ laundry today it is almost always cheaper in the long run to buy durability.
