of a 2800 for me now. VERY pleased! I'm going to keep watch on this listing for the 1200, though. With a $100 starting price I just am not enthused. I pass these all over this city in the $15-$40 range and a great deal of them have clearly been seldom or even never used machines. I bought my KitchenAid KUDS23 in basically unused condition earlier this year for $12...so I admit I'm a bit of a cheapskate!

I have this model at the museum all rebuilt and ready to go, but I got a 2nd one that was almost never used, so the rebuilt one needs a home, contact me any reasonable offer will be accepted.
These were very good performing DWs if you can live with the loading restrictions, in many ways they were like the MT RR DWs you just couldn't get really large cookware and baking sheets in these machines as you can with a KA or a WP DW. These GEs were not that fast either, the main wash period was 30 minutes long alone and with the orignal motors you had to listen to the straining sound of the shaded pole motor as the speed constantly varied, add to this annoying sound many of the GE DWs with the multi-orbit wash arms would develop a moaning sound as the arm SLOWLY revolved that many customers said sounded like a dying animal, LOL. But I hope someone wants this one we have, otherwise I will take out the rebuilt pump and motor and scrap the rest, I do agree with Bob the non-electronic versions are much more reliable than the EC models. I have only one customer left with a GSD2800 and it has my last good control board it it, so it days are numbered. John L. |

My grandparents had this model. This brings back many memories... Especially when I'd lay on the rug Grandma kept in front of it and I would just sit and listen to the machine run and feel the warmth from the front.
It was replaced with a point voyager whirlpool gold with soil sensing. The water they had on the farm was a very brown well water. As soon as the pipeline came through and they were put on whitewater grandma made grandpa replace the dishwasher then the washer and dryer. (A shame on the washer and dryer, because they were a speed queen set from the 80s that had been used less than 50 times when they were replaced in 2008. Grandma wouldn't use them because of the well water and she ended up giving the set away to some random people, she didn't think they'd be worth anything.) The racks were literally falling apart when the machine was finally replaced (3rd set of racks). Anyways thanks for the blast from the past. |

I still find the sounds of a washing machine, clothes washer, fan or any of the generation series kirby vacuums soothing. When I have a truly horrible night or can't find a way to calm my self I'll run my dishwasher and lean against it and wake up a few hours later able to go to bed.
Mom always did the morning dishes then would drag out her g3 kirby. I'd be in the sitting room playing or laying in front of the sliding glass door we had off of the kitchen. Mom had a hobart-made kitchenaid, then it was replaced with a frigidaire. Several years later when mom got her amana french door fridge and frigidaire smooth top range she replaced the frigidaire dishwasher with a kitchenaid again. The house I grew up in was 3 stories plus a basement. When Mom was done in the kitchen/dining room/sitting room, we'd go down two levels to the basement and she'd start laundry. The laundry room was truly that, she had it set up for storage in the north, east and west sides but the center of the room was open space and the maytag washer was on the south wall, next to the furnace (on the right) and the Maytag dryer was on the east wall to the left of the washing machine. The room was bigger than the master bedroom. When I came around I was the only one left at home.. It was just mom dad and me. The open space was used for sorting clothes. Mom has always been a neat and tidy person but the laundry room always had mounds of clothes everywhere. Each mound was a different color. Being the 3 of us, we had lots of clothes. She was always changing her outfits and my outfits... I don't know how 3 people used so many clothes... Anyways, She would empty the dryer, put the washed load in the dryer that was from the night before, start a new load of wash and start ironing/folding the dried clothes she pulled out. I'd usually fall asleep in a pile of clothes that smelled like mom and dad. The sounds of the washer, dryer and mom's rowenta iron would always put me to sleep. Sorry for going on, especially on a shoppers square post but its fun thinking about things like this.. It makes me realize where some of my quirks come from that I never really thought about... |

I had the Kenmore version of this dishwasher that did quite well I thought. I loved that top rack, it held a ton of dishes and glasses and the lower rack was versatile enough for my needs. The MultiOrbit wash arm did exceptionally well except when washing canning jars, one could see where the jets missed. I made the mistake of washing a full lower rack of the canning jars that were dirty and I loaded the upper rack full of canning jars as well. I knew enough to put the shallow wide mouth pints in the corners so the spray from the tower would get into them. Why I remembered that, I dont know! LOL...anyways I loved the sound as well. This dishwasher may have sounded like the motor was struggling but it did move 35 gpm and I thought had plenty of water pressure and wash action was powerful...especially when hearing the tower jets hitting the door. They certainly dont make them like this anymore.

This commercial does feature some "spray action" about midway through. And it isn't anaemic! Especially in comparison to that machine I posted about probably a week ago… |
