A missing link, GE's last Top Loading Built-in model. Guessing this is 1963, pink tub has turned blue, maybe even offered in the same model year as two of their new Front Loading models (coming later). These things were tanks, but, as I remember them, they did a good job and were quiet for their youth.

Looks like the Arabia dinnerware that was made in Finland at the time. Ours was white with a blue band around it that you will see in some of the ads I'm going to scan and post. I wouldn't know about their washing ability. My Mother was one of those who felt it necessary to wash the dishes before putting them in the machine. Running the dishwasher must have been a sanitizing ritual ( a dish-micvah?!???!??!!!!) for her. I remember her telling a story of going over to my Aunt Gloria's house once (yes, Gloria) and opening her dishwasher (it was one of those beautiful old KitchenAids with the 3 colored buttons and the dial on the bottom panel) and finding it full of dirty dishes, rotting food bits and cockroaches. From that point on, she never really trusted machines to wash her dishes properly. | ||

She didn't believe in it. In fact, she never bought a dishwasher again with more than one cycle. She preferred to break her fine china and crystal by hand and since she basically washed the dishes before they went in the machine, she had no use for any other bell or whistle. Now she's at that age where the dishwasher is only used occasionally as a drying rack. She washes everything by hand and complains as her fingernails are slowly deteriorating. I've given up. | ||
