Millions of people were laundering fabrics successfully for many decades in washing machines that only had knobs for controls. I can customize almost any function of it to suit what I'm washing. And I wouldn't trade my older, used, Kenmore 700 top loader for any that is new and supposedly better.

All my appliances are oldschool 90s and I can afford modern. I had a modern dishwasher that crapped out after a few years...logic board got wet, model design flaw. Had it repaired and it failed again. Went back to 90s stuff. Analog, no electronics. I will do this as long as I can. I don't care if it's a tad noisier than modern dishwashers.

Amen. My dishwasher - a Kenmore Elite, stainless steel tub - is used too. Paid $70 for it several years ago. Does a fantastic job. It was manufactured in 2010.

Just curious. How do you find a 1990s dishwasher??

A place in town sells refurb appliances. Luckily they still have older ones available(last I checked).
