Top-of-the-line convertible, portable GE dishwasher
This is probably around 1967 or eight, it’s the first of the new pump design and actually worked a lot better than the dishwasher before this.
Hard to tell if the dishwasher is in great condition or not the box to detergent inside almost looks like it, but it looks like there’s some serious damage on the inside of the door These machines rusted out terribly from the plastic finish water would get behind it. We used to replace the whole inner doors because they became so rusty.
It’s still a great museum piece. We have one just like it at the museum, the unique upper rack was interesting, but it really reduced capacity. The overall capacity of GE dishwashers was pretty poor because of the cut out in the lower rack and the silverware basket placement. Capacity was also limited by the poor water distribution design if you loaded it properly with only dishes in the lower rack, you could get more in it, but it didn’t give you the capacity of other dishwashers of the time even single wash arm KitchenAids did far better than this.

No one asked for John's negativity, his review, or his bias. That seems to be the way he can build his ego. This is a nice GE dishwasher and I hope someone on our site is able to procure it.[this post was last edited: 6/21/2024-16:28]

Thank you, Barry
You’ve done exactly what you accuse me of doing adding negativity to post and adding absolutely no useful information in your post unlike my reply which added a lot of good useful information about this dishwasher for anybody considering buying it or just good historical information about the performance of this interesting dishwasher.

Thought you didn't look at my posts anymore, John. That was your quote and another typical lie by John. Members of this site certainly don't need your biased opinion before making a purchase, they are buying an item because it is historical and it has meaning to them. You can provide useful information at times, so can many other members of this site. Their information is not tinged with bias.
Normal adults don't show a jealousy about a dishwasher or washer. You just cannot bear it when a brand that is not one of your favorites has popularity with our members or they provide accolades to a machine that you don't like.
When one of these machines shows up on Shopper's Square or a member aquires one, there you are there to knock it down. I am not saying anything that everyone is not aware of.
You may think you are the ultimate opinion on this site, but you are not. Your berating anything in conflict with your internal biases serves no purpose to the members.

That to me is a good dishwasher and to the point of where sooner or later things GE would be tops, and sadly anything then like KA once the leader would soon be jumping the shark...

Oh dear, I thought this is a public forum where everyone can give his or her opinion about appliances. Since when has someone to be asked about that? If you don’t like a certain opinion then skip it and perhaps write your own.
