Ohh yeah, the old ones were awesome. They used to install macerators in the pump wells to grind up any debris that might bypass the filter and had motors that could go all day long.

I had a 90's whirlpool at my old place that probably got scrapped directly after I sold it. It stopped cleaning all that well once, I took it apart and cleaned all the bits, put it back together and it kicked ass like the day I moved in, I used it almost every day for 15 years.
