Eddie: I wound up doing the trip alone - we had a freezing rain followed by heavy snow event here and it hit Phil's neck of the woods WAY worse than Ogden... Well, I got to see a part of New Jersey I had not previously been to!
Lawrence: Ah, you know me too well... LOL The GE is cold and lonely in the garage but the new interloper is in the 'forbidden zone' in Ogden, so it has to go the basement soon. Poor GE....
And I think I've answered my question about the upper rack. The section with 'loops' for glassware sits on supports to go right down the middle of the machine, like I set the one on mine. I was thinking of ads showing the James well and truly Bob-Loaded where a large platter was face down on the very top of the well-loaded upper rack - I think such a platter could simply sit on the middle rise of that rack section. I'll play with it at some point to test its capacity... LOL
And, upon re-reading the manual, I seem to think the Deluxe model did not have the 'steri-cycle dry' switch. I could be wrong (usually am... LOL). I told hubby about the latter feature and he assures me he won't be bringing home any vials or beakers from his lab for me to wash for him anytime soon...
