The cost was great! I've been disappointed to have moisture on the inside of the tub after running the dishwasher (whether using the drying cycle or air dry). Dishes seem to come out clean and dry anyway! Am disappointed that I can never tell if the appliance is on washing, rinse or dry cycle while I am using it. I just replaced my entire kitchen appliances. The refrigerator, drop-in stove, microwave, and dishwasher are all GE appliances. I am most happy with all as far as performance with the exception of this dishwasher.. May 20, 2013
Quietest I have ever seen So quiet you have to be standing next to it to hear it running. I am also very impressed with the quality and design. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to replace their old inefficient unit. May 20, 2013
Perfect for us This was right in our price range with better quality. We are please with it. We have used it for the past several weeks and it does a good job cleaning the dishes. Overall we are satisfied with this dishwasher. May 20, 2013
This product does not live up to the GE name quality It does not dry everything properly. I should have replaced my GE Profile with another higher end unit. May 14, 2013
Terrible!! Absolutely hate this dishwasher. This dishwasher came with our new house, it was the only option we had from the builder for a black dishwasher. Literally the dishes come out dirtier than when they went in. I?ve used the pods and liquid detergent (the manual recommends pods) and there is always soap left in the dispenser and it?s all over the dishes. I had GE come out and they verified that the dishes were properly put in the racks but said that the machine is functioning correctly. The only recommendation I was given was to use less soap because this machine uses very little water. I hate this dishwasher. May 14, 2013
goof dishwasher It gets the job done and that's all that I need to say May 14, 2013
thumbs up! Iam very happy with my G.E. purchase .The model was affordable and good quality.I am most impressed at how quiet it is in operation.And really like the gray interior color.Will be buying G.E. products in the future. May 13, 2013
Overall a good machine. I would have configured the upper rack slightly differently, but I am putting lots of kids cups in on a regular basis, so I have slightly different requirement set. May 12, 2013
