I had one of these in an apartment ten years ago. I have to say, on the plus side, this model had one of the best upper racks ever produced in a standard US dishwasher. Very clever and ergonomic use of space and love the extra cup rack. Very easy to load small plates and bowls in the center. Cleaned OK. On the minus side, it was every inch a GE Potscrubber in decibels, cheaply made and carelessly designed bottom rack, that big dumb lower wash arm, the overrated soft food disposall and the worst detergent dispenser ever produced IMHO. I was always scraping wet unused detergent out of the door at the end of every wash. Give me one of these every time: |

Was there ever a SS Tubbed Potscrubber with two spray arms during the 70's in the US? We had one that cleaned well, had no soft food disposer and had standard AU racking. It sounded like a cross between a tractor and a cement mixer when running, but usually did a good job. |

All the GE's I was around in that era had a plastic-coated interior trademarked PermaTuf. As I think I've remarked here before, it wasn't very perma, and it was none too tuf. Every GE I had in those years suffered liner problems (rust making the liner bubble up) at the bottom of the door and at the lip of the tub opening. The hinge area was another rust-prone place. Upper-series machines may have had something besides this; my experience was always with MOL machines. bajaespuma, thank you for mentioning the detergent dispenser! I always thought I was doing something wrong. I tinkered and tinkered and tinkered with mine, to absolutely no avail. Oh, and wasn't that silly bowl rack fun? |

I guess the geneaology was: Vinyl/Permatuf in Louisville Porcelain in Milwaukee for Hotpoint then Polypropylene in Louisville around 1980 porcelain Milwaukee then Poly in Louisville for everything Question: Were there ever GE dishwashers manufactured in Canada? Were they PermaTuf or porcelain? Reason is I vaguely remember a porcelain GE dishwasher with a triangular "constant filter" (not the upper-level filtering on the polypropylene ones at the back of the dishwasher) in Canada. It may have been a portable/convertible, but I believe I saw it in the mid-90s at the Bay or Eaton's. |
