Id appreciate any info anyone could give on this GE DW as far as how well it performed. And about when it was produced.
Thanks | ||

 Looks like an early 80s model to me, but our Canadian-made ones were sometimes a year or two behind in terms of style! It reminds me of our family's second dishwasher - a 1978 'Contessa' Potscrubber portable. Does this have the 'power shower' on the top of the tub?
I've heard lots of bad things about these machines, but we got nearly 30 years of solid performance out of ours (and even then it was sold off when my father sold his house). Admittedly we were leaving behind an impeller-wash dishwasher, so we were floored by how well it cleaned. The 'Power Scrub' cycle did a number on the lasagne dishes we couldn't even fit in the ol" Viking top-loader. | ||

If you need a dishwasher, for $5, hard to go wrong here.
These were ordinary lackluster machines but if you happened to luck into a good sample model, they could be quiet and decent performers. I happen to prefer this Hotpoint-style upper rack to the standard GE version which was always sub-par IMHO. The presence of a rinse-aid dispenser leads me to believe there is a Power-Shower up there, but that is no guarantee.

 This model is a good performer from my experience. The built-in version was in our house when we bought it in 1998. It served us well until 2002 when the pump failed. It was a bit of a pain to load because of the tower, but nothing we couldn't work around. This post was last edited 06/12/2014 at 10:35 | ||
