Yeah, I couldn't let this one slip by... LOL I know that not everyone is not as big a booster of pull-out dishwashers with an impeller-wash system, but the GE's of this era were decent performers.
"Easy to load".... not so much. You need to have some juggling experience, but when you get used to them, you really can get an amazing number of dishes into one of these machines!
Just waxing sentimental - it was about 10 years ago that my GE Kitchen Centre, with the dishwasher, arrived in Stanstead, QC! It only took me two more years to get it installed... LOL |

In 1973, my folks and family moved into a 1960 GE house. IT wasn't GE's metal cabinetry, but it was their pull-out dishwasher with a metal bow-tie impeller, a 4 unit cooktop like in the picture, and a "rotisserie and thermometer and clock timer" wall oven. And my first ever disposal. We had moved from a 1929 pretty original kitchen, so this was lightyears ahead.
With 7 kids plus Mom and Dad for dinner, we filled the dishwasher with plates/tableware/flatware constantly and it did a darn fine job. The baked on pans were too big and the washer was already full from tableware, so I remember pans and roasters getting Brillo pads and being washed in the sink. At the time, it never occurred to me that pans and such could go in a dishwasher, we always filled it plenty from the table and bowls and mugs and tumblers. I do remember it was strictly a one-cycle machine, you moved the dial to START and that was that. While I am not searching for one of these, I'd take it if I stumbled across one, pretty fun for folks in this website. |
