....The ad is already gone, and I didn't see the dishwasher, I can't really say for sure, BUT -
You might have been spared a lot of trouble. GE's dishwashers can be okay (more recent models) or very troublesome (older ones). If you want a vintage dishwasher that will perform and last, look for an older KitchenAid. You might have to do some repairs before installing it for good, but a KitchenAid from the '60s or '70s will outlast and outperform most anything made today. |

The best way to get someone used to the idea of vintage appliances is to get them around some. If you know anyone who is running restored vintage majors, it could be a great opportunity to get your wife around them and let her see for herself.
I myself have a 1972 GE self-cleaning range. When I tell people about it, the reaction is (without their actually saying it), "Um, that's a little weird." When they see it, the reaction is, "Wow, I WANT one!" The trick is to let people see something in good shape doing its job for a whale of a lot less money than new. My range looks as good - if not better - than most brand-new appliances, and does things new ones can't do. Most people think of older appliances as dirty and broken, and nothing could be further from the truth in my case. |

You might have sung a different tune if you'd seen the aftermath of a little cooking disaster tonight, LOL.
I got a phone call when I'd just put some rice on to cook. I got distracted, forgot the rice and had a humongous boilover to clean up. The range looks like the picture again now, but it was not pretty when it happened. Oh, well - the more you use Brillo on your aluminum burner bowls, the shinier they get.... |

Is your Whirlpool making a bit of a low squealing noise? Our Kenmore has been randomly making a low squeal here and there for about a year, and is still working fine. |
