63 through five GE portable dishwasher

Wow, that thing‘s in beautiful shape obviously was never used much if at all.

This would be great for a collector who’s trying to do a museum of dishwashers, unfortunately, this period of GE dishwashers were just miserable machines. They’re one of the reasons everybody rents their dishes today because they didn’t get anything clean.

When consumer reports tested this design dishwasher it was in the next to the bottom group with the disclaimer, while many people may feel that this dishwasher may still be useful, It was inferior to all the previous dishwashers in the ratings at actually cleaning dishes.

John, thank you for being honest this time around. I assume by "rent" you meant rinse; close enough.  

 

 

Most dishwashers of the past forced various levels of pre-rinsing where the behavior lived on even when better dishwashers came along.

 

 

 

My theory is that had dishwashers of the past cleaned like a TOL Maytag Jetclean or Whirlpool Power Clean Filter Module tall tubs would have never caught on. At least not today's designs. There simply would not have been any mass pre-rinsing behavior to mask the inadequacies of modern dishwashers.

When this TOL model first came out, there was a trim strip across the front of the top rack. It was highly decorative with glossy plastic, but yibblets and worse got caught between the trim strip and the inner door liner. CU mentioned that in the rating of this machine so GE removed the trim strip. I guess GE only designed it to work on and tested it with clean dishes. These did not clean nearly as well as the stainless steel GE impeller machines which chopped up food particles and sent them down the drain.
