History of Innovation at GE Appliances Any mistakes or exaggerations on their list? 1947 - First completely automatic clothes washer, has a photo of a wringer washer. :-) My refrigerator (came with the house) is a Profile Actica model with a TurboCool function and a Custom Cool drawer with ExpressThaw (I use it often), ExpressChill, and SelectTemp. |

I can't say that I'm impressed by their timeline. I was somewhat immediately put off by the reverse order of the timeline. Why reverse chronological order? IMHO, the more-interesting information is deeper into the site than this timeline presents. My first impression was that they wanted to blow their own horn about what's "new and improved" right now, even though it's my understanding that 'General Electric' as most people remember the company, no longer exists (i.e., the bulk of what's new isn't really GE, not the product of American labor).
Sorry - maybe just in a somewhat snarky mood today.

This was great to see and read, thanks! With all of this innovation over the years, it's a shame to hear the rumors about GE fixin-ta sell it's appliance division. I wonder if the rumors are true. |
