I love the top popping at the end. My family's first dishwasher was a beautiful stainless steel fronted model in a mid-century home we rented in Indianapolis. This was 1968. An uncle's dishwasher supposedly popped open when done, so we all sat around watching the first "run". Of course, nothing happened. So now, whenever I'm sitting with a bunch of people staring at something that's just not going to get exciting, I say, "Picture it: 1968, when we got our first dishwasher..." LOL

Hi Brent. Thanks for the comments. It is a beautiful machine, especially inside the dishwasher - the porcelain tub and entire sink top is just in such mint shape. She purrs like a kitten. And 'Yes' this machine is going to be installed in my kitchen and will supplement my Double Drawer Fisher Paykel dishwasher. I'd like to use if for all of my daily dishes. And I plan to baby it, and give it an extra cleaning probably once a week to keep it in mint condition.

Very Cool Video! Very Cool Machine!

I bet it smelled new while running!

Are you going to install this as a daily dishwasher?

Very nice!

Thanks for sharing!
