We got tired of waiting for parts and tired of waiting for the repairdude. So,
last year, even though it was still under extended warranty, I ripped it
out and bought a DW Bosch private labels for Sears. I've been so pleased
with it I bought another just like it for my office kitchenette.

The GE was made in Mexico. We're beginning to see a backlash against
crap foreign products coming from there and from China. Too bad we got
rid of our ability to manufacture here.



Harry, where was the DW BOSCH unit made?

I use a lot of Bosch (Robert bosch) automotive products and they are
made in Germany, Spain, S. Africa, Tiawan.

And I do understand that DW could be a totally seperate company as
well.

Anyhow, Bosch automotive. reasonably good quality, but they're
products are manufactured anywhere but here. and dissapointingly so.




When I was shopping for dishwashers, the local Home Despots and Lowes
had all brands stacked up on shelves in their boxes, ready to go. I
looked at the boxes. Most of the dishwashers, whatever their branding,
were made in Mexico, not the United States. The Bosch units I bought
were made in Germany.
