I think it's funny that GE bragged about it's Perma-Tuf dishwasher tub as being rust-proof and that it has none of the problems of (the competitors) porcelain-coated or stainless tubs! Of course, that's because they forgot to mention the problems of their own previous Plastisol-coated tubs!
What are the problems that are encountered with stainless tubs? I know that Waste Kings did have problems with their pumps and rusted racks but I'm still wondering what could be wrong with stainless? The only problem I can see with stainless tubs is the higher cost of manufacturing, or the incompatibility with other non-stainless parts which (I think!) might cause galvanic corrosion. Other ideas? |

This was a big step forward as GE was finally offering a DW that might last more than 10 years without rusting out. Yes it is funny that they mention that it is better than SS tubs, the only way it was likely better is it would be quieter and the white plastic tubs did not show mineral deposits as badly as SS tubs do, also the nice white tubs can make loading and unloading easier as you can see much better when you are not staring into a dark hole. Now that SS DWs have become popular we have a lot of people complain about this.
Now if GE had actually put a decent motor in their DWs, it took them nearly 20 more years to get rid of the noisy, crappy and grossly inefficient shaded pole motor that they introduced in 1967. |
