Hmmmm. I was just telling someone about my new GE, which has the
tiniest scratch in the door... which has started to rust after
THREE uses. I look inside my current Bosch (with the
nonfunctional water pump--did they ever fix this issue?), which I
used for many years and has an interior that looks brand new.
Maybe I should put a new DW the current house and store the Bosch.
I wonder whether the new GE will get totally rusty--like so many
other things that should be made for their intended uses involving
water.
