Awesome report - having the pictures of the wash-action was really cool. Wish they had done more of that over here but I think Consumer Reports was complicit in keeping that dishwashing magic a secret!

Ivan,
This is awesome! Thank you!
So cool to see so many forbidden cycles.
It is amazing to see the Tappan working.
The Kitchenaid versions...I found the pictures showing a very wimpy spray. What was up with that?
Great reading.
Thanks again Ivan!

Swanmaid
Apologies for resurrecting this ancient thread, but...
I was watching an old colour film from 1969/1970, called 'Some Will, Some Won't'. This film is an inferior remake of the 1951 Alastair Sim film, 'Laughter in Paradise'.
Anyway, in 'Some Will, Some Won't', Michael Hordern's character is tasked with doing some shoplifting in a department store, not very successfully I might add.
He enters the appliances section (a wall poster advertising 'Hotpoint Iced Diamond Refrigerators'), and walks past the floor-standing late-version 'Swanmaid' dishwasher (plain handle, 'Swanmaid' nameplate lower-left corner of door).
A metal canister - the size of a 'Dulux' paint tin - stands upon the 'Swanmaid' dishwasher. The canister seems to be silvery-grey, appears to depict a woman with an open dishwasher. The label on the tin apparently says 'Fen', in blue, with a red oval label partly covering the 'n'.
I am assuming that this was perhaps a Swanmaid detergent, ('The Fens' being the habitat of swans, etc).
Hordern's character tries to pinch a Rolls-Colston MkIV table-top machine, almost doing himself a mischief in the process.
I also came across this paper (dated 1966) about disinfection of surgical apparatus. Swanmaid is mentioned and tested, with 'Hygleam C' detergent - it is apparently P&G's 'Freedom ' detergent by another name.

The swan maid dishwasher was IIRC was classed as a semi commercial machine as the one I used in a hotel had a heater tank inside that would heat the water before it was used to wash and rinse, If the machine had not been used for a while then it would take longer before it started washing, If we ran out of hot water which did happen at peak times then it would take a while to finish the wash cycle as it had to pre heat the rinse water there was no heater in the wash tank so all drying was residual heat from the rinse, Mind you it still had to be left for a while as the crockery was so hot you could not handle it. A very good machine IMHO its max wash time was about 20 mins and it could be all over in less than 15 with a good hot water supply. It could if necessary be connected to cold but all heating times would take much longer but that meant a longer wash time as it had to wait for the thermostat to be satisfied. We used Finish commercial powder in it as it contained a lot of bleach thus removing all tanning stains etc.
