To whoever who won the 1962 GE catalogue on ebay today, congratulations. But would you please be a mensch and scan and post some of it for us(especially dishwashers, laundry and stoves)? That's what I would have done.

Ken, I think in 1962, they introduced the front loaders but still had the drawer type pull out models simultanoeusly being marketed. A friend of mine from college, their house was built in mid to late 1962 and they had a front loader. That machine lasted until it was replaced with the first of the non-rotorack Kenmores.

I guess about the beginning of the decade, KitcheAid DW sales were either beating or catching up to GE and somebody must have figured that the front loaders were easier to load and unload. As far as I'm concerned it's a draw but I remember my Mother griping about how she liked our neighbor's Hotpoint better than ours. And she was the one who hand washed every single item before she'd put it in the machine. page 4:

bajaespuma, You talking about my mother as well God rest her soul. She would hand wash every item before placing in the dishwasher. Go figure! | ||

Thanks Tom,
Good to review the great value of Consumer's Reports back in the days when they used the written words rather than dots. As I thought, the new front loaders heralded the beginning of GE dishwasher Dark Ages which would last well into the nineties. Exactly as you said, my Mother was a rinser and never allowed anything but dishware in her machine. Her favorite phrase was, "Perfectly fine" which in my opinion meant "mediocre", when dealing with things she didn't care about. These were perfectly fine machines. | ||

Frist drop door GE DWs
As Tom said and I can attest These dishwashers were very poor performers. My parents house was built in 1966 and had a TOL model and even with a new water softener and good hot water it was a huge come down to the WP DW they left behind.It was probably the only appliance i ever talked my dad into getting rid of that still worked (mom helped a lot also).

A formality?
We had this BOL model(of course not turquoise) and we all loved it(myself as well although I resented that my Mother had "learned" not to buy a DW with any buttons, bells or whistles whatsoever) but remember, the dishes all went it clean. I guess the folks felt that the value of owning a dishwasher was that it sanitized everything. Have any of you noticed that as your parents get older they steadfastly REFUSE to use the dishwasher? Even if they have enough stuff to go around. I'm beginning to think that there must be some comfort in hand-washing dishes. Maybe the hot water is therapeutic for older hands.

I believe playing with water is comforting. After all we are gestated in it! I have found that as my relatives mature they put more and more things in the DW! | ||
