Did these come in stainless steel or just white and black?

When was the last year the "Power Scour" option was available (I think it was this generation)?

The power scour was just another name for the Hi temp wash. I used one at a neighbors house that had it.

Yes they came in stainless steel. Several different variety’s. The mid 90s Ultrawash came in a stainless steel exterior, towards the 2000s they made an Elite version & it had a stainless steel tub and came in a white black or stainless steel exterior. Several Kitchenaids had a stainless steel exterior. There was several of the whirlpool models that came with a stainless exterior to choose from, but I’ve only ever seen the stainless be offered from the late 90s to the end of the whirlpool branded Powerclean production. There was even a quiet partner two with the most recent tower style wash system available in white black or stainless steel exterior I used to have one.

Ah, thank you!

I want a machine with the cutlery rack (which is an option for the machine on the left) as I do lots of cooking and use a bunch of knives. Putting them face down in the silverware rack eventually punches holes through them no matter how carful one is. Laying them in the upper/lower racks cuts them up. From my research, the machine on the right eliminated the cutlery rack for that generation.

Here's what I'm looking for:

A TOL Whirlpool model with the silverware basket in the door (more space on the lower rack)
Cutlery rack (I don't care if it's in the door or attached to the upper rack).
Rear feed tube design (no spray towers!!!).

Unfortunately, all of my appliances are stainless steel :mad: but I could get away with a black model if it contains all options that I want. Most UW/PC available are white 'cause people are "upgrading" to lesser junk due to appearance. A handful are black, very little stainless steel models available because they look modern therefore are kept until total failure (most of the time).
