I find it a little surprising GE came in on top, given my (limited)
experience with them.

We've been quite happy with our KitchenAids over the years; we went for
KitchenAid this time 'round over Bosch in large part because the Bosch
and most other Euro-design dishwashers do not have a food grinder to
deal with food-muck, you have to clean it out manually. Makes them
quieter.
My one beef with the current Kitchenaid is that the detergent-dispenser
cover latch is an awful design, splash a little extra powder in there
and it won't latch until you wipe it out of the groove with your index
finger. Maybe the designers were expecting you to use liquid detergent?
Aargh.

Is it big enough to wash a car cover for an average-size sedan?
