That's a valid point -
Because my interest in GE dishwashers pretty much ends in the era when they were better than KA (I can *feel* the frisson of frustrated anger that raises in the knee-jerk 'KA is BEST!' crowd everytime Consumer Reports said that or one of us echoes it...) I forget just how awful their performance in the 6σ era was/is. Dear Jack Welch - has anyone ever done so much harm to a once high-quality company?
So, yeah - I can believe someone hit with the low water version of that era would be unhappy. The GE Potscrubber cleans so well, in so little time, because it uses water. To pre-wash. To wash. To rinse. Yes, to rinse. To expect a GE dishwasher which had been designed to clean with lots of water to then clean with little water is just plain hopeless. Add to this the continuous reductions in phosphates in detergents of that era and the lack of good enzymes/other surfactants, well - too many factors are against clean dishes.
Back, however, to this beautiful machine - it does clean best of all dishwashers of its era, which, of course, means it cleans rings around the current two drops of water and four hours later - you can take out the dirty dishes.
I love that display - reminds me of late 1970's MIELE Dishwashers and laundry equipment.

And unlike the 90s drama, the timers, heater and other parts kept running well past the expiration date. I am grateful you decided to keep your Potsrubber running. I'd give anything for GE to make a 2017 version of this machine.
