This is my GE Standard tub GSD4000N. It's those new standard tubs with the center micro mesh filter.
It washes "ok" I give it a B. It has a top wash arm, but crud kept collecting on the ceiling cuz no spray goes up there. So I drilled a little hole pointing at the ceiling and that problem went away. Ok, to the mega load:

Interesting. In my Thermador THD 3600, if I don't wedge or otherwise secure lightweight plastic tubs, they'll get flipped over and filled with water. I guess with the less powerful jets of modern day machines you can get away with it.
I can get the top rack on the 3600 crammed really good, but the bottom rack is tough to defeat. When the day finally comes that a load has been assembled in the lower rack that warrants consideration for BobLoad status, I'll be documenting it and posting it here. I make the above statements because I'm confident people are going to chime in and say you could have fit more stuff in there. If I took pix of the lower rack on my machine when I had it crammed as full as I could manage (tonight's run would be a good example), it would still look way too much like an owner's manual illustration. It's all in the luck of the draw as far as which items comprise the load. One of these days I'll beat the 3600 at its own game. | ||

Blender blade assemblies SHOULD not be washed in a dishwasher-can leach out the grease in the blade assemblys bearings. | ||

BLENDER BLADE ASSEMBLIES
The grease used in blenders is not toxic, I always wash mine in the DW. You have a good point in that it may shorten the life of the assembly. I just replaced the blade and bearing in my Vitamix @ a cost of almost $90 just for the part, this is the third one in less than ten years. BUT interestingly the bearing has never failed its the blades stripping off the shaft or the rubber drive cupeling shearing off.

holy crap. haha, that's a creative load.
Not sure mine would get stuff clean THAT packed. The blender blade I have is an Oster all-metal-drive. It doesn't have "bearings" but a brass or aluminum bronze sleeve bearing over the steel shaft. Brass and Al Bronze have inherent lubrication properties in the material itself since they're softer than the steel shaft. The manual says the blades are dishwasher safe. I know some blenders will have sealed roller bearings which are greased, and i can see those potentially leaking after a few trips in the dishwasher. But since it's a blender, being used with food, the grease has to be non-toxic anyway. | ||
