We purchased this dishwasher to replace the G E portable dishwasher that we had. The plain and simple reason for choosing a G E was that old dishwasher was 34 or 35 years old. In those years we did not have any mechanical problems. All that was done to it was replacing the discharge hose and the electrical plug only. with this reliable dishwasher why would I ever think of purchasing anything but a G E. We are looking forward to many years of service with all of the upgraded features. Thank you for manufacturing reliable products. I have told all my family and friends about my 34 year old G E dishwasher.
