In light of John Lefever's statements that the GE tower-wash system didn't wash in the corners of the upper racks, here is another test run. John's first statement was that the tower wash couldn't clean objects in the corners. Then after I pointed out that this defect has never been noticed by Consumer Reports, or any person on our site, then it became, GE tower wash can't clean in the corners with water blockage from below by a pan or pot in the lower rack. He claimed this problem was never caught, in fifty years, by Consumer Reports, as they don't use pots and pans for testing.
This is my second test. The first test was done done years back, and I re-posted the results about a month or so ago, I only blocked one corner then, and had a cup with my my dried on fudge sauce. It showed the cup came cean despite no water from the lower wash arm reaching it. Now I have blocked all four corners of the lower rack, and most of the rest of the rack as well. So, basically most, if not all, of the top rack is being washed independently, by the wash tower (GE called it the "Power Tower") which is why GE described their tower wash dishwasher as having "random loading.". The top rack is washed independently of the lower rack.
On the top rack in three corners are three glasses, one with my famous fudge sauce (made in the glass in the microwave), in the other corner is dried yogurt, followed by a glass smeared with peanut butter, and in the final corner is a saucer with dried cat food.
As you see the results favor GE's claim of random loading. The tower wash cleaned everything in the top rack as GE engineer's designed it to.
(Please note the dishwasher was opened immediately after the test, no dry cycle, so you see some water droplets present.)
