Super quiet!
I love the sleek look and the deep tub makes loading so much easier. My coffee cups fit in so easily now! It's super quiet! You'll hardly know it's running!

      Save Your Tears….and choose wisely
      I have had nothing but problems with this machine. One being the dishwasher door moves side to side if your not careful. I have had a technician come out to reseal the door as well as on the bottom side of the dishwasher’s heating element burning the plastic blade so that had to be replaced as well. Now, this issue is getting worse with the lights on the panel flashing and the dishwasher is not working. I have held the buttons down for seconds at a time to no avail. I checked the troubleshooting for help and do not see where the issue is listed in order to fix this problem. I haven’t had this dishwasher a year and I have never been more disappointed! It’s noisy, barely cleans, and the utensil layout is not very good especially for like tongs, long spoons and/or anything tall that will get in the way of the upper blade cause then it won’t spin. I have to finagle the dishes to not be overly crowded in order to get a clean wash. It cleans when it wants to but I add a rinse aid, dishwasher soap and Dawn Powerspray to help clean after pre-rinsing the dishes before running a cycle. Steer clear of the vents…. The steam is very hot! I will try resetting the breaker box and see if that helps resolve this issue.

      Oh no! We can understand how upsetting it is when an appliance doesn't meet your expectations. To reset the dishwasher we suggest to hard reset the appliance by either unplugging it or flipping the breaker off for 2-3 minutes then turning it back on. Please refer to the article link attached below for properly loading dishes in the dishwasher racks to ensure optimal wash performance. https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=19573 If the issue continues to persist we recommend making a follow up service appointment to have this matter resolved. You can schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-432-2737 or schedule online at https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm We hope you are able to get this resolves quickly. -Charlie@GEA

                    Very disappointed
                    Dishes come out filthy and have to rewash by hand before using them. Thought is was the way loaded. Tried a small load same results. Thought it was the filter. It's always clean same result. Tried a different detergent. Same result. Replaced a 20+ year whirlpool with this thing and it was 100 times better and we're stuck with this one.

                    Oh no! Dirty dishes are certainly not something we would expect to be an issue with this dishwasher, and we are here to help in any ways that we can. We are so sorry for the frustration this has been for you. Washing performance is reliant on a number of different factors. First, we would recommend verifying that the inlet water temperature is hot enough. This can be checked by running the faucet nearest the dishwasher on its hottest setting and verifying the temperature reaches at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If possible, be sure that "Boost wash temp" is selected. Also, be sure that you are using a high-quality dish detergent. More information and steps to improve performance are available on page 19 of the use and care manual, linked here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-4000239-1.pdf We hope this information helps get the washing performance to where you need it, and please let us know how we can assist you in the future. -Elliot@GEA
                      Never gets things clean
                      This is honestly the WORST dishwasher I have ever had. Dishes come out still dirty, regardless of whether you rinse them beforehand or not. The other extremely frustrating thing about this dishwasher is that the top oscillating sprayer falls off ALL the time. The only positives I would give this dishwasher is that it is very quiet and looks nice. I would save your money and skip right over this as an option.

                          Decent Dishwasher for the Price Point
                          Unit is quieter than expected, missing features that next tier units have (stainless interior, additional wash cycles including pre wash for heavy loads). Over all, a good middle of the road dishwasher.

                              Horrible unit
                              This dishwasher has not worked since installed in my new house. I have run it multiple times and the detergent door will not open and dispense the fluid. Also the unit keeps leaking and luckily we were able to catch it and move the unit and mop up the water under it and in the cabinet area.

                                Would reconsider
                                I really wish this control panel were simpler. Sometimes I think I pushed start but forget to hold it down so it doesn’t run. Often the soap is not fully dispersed.

                                    Interesting device
                                    I am new to using a dishwasher ( I have always washed dishes by hand) because of how long it takes a dishwasher to actually wash dishes. One Friday night , I got lazy and decided to give it a go, nothing hard just some silver ware and a few plates I used the 1 hour cycle which lasted 2hrs+, but was amazed at how clean the dishes were (I did pre-rinse). Two days later, I tried it on the Normal cycle which was like 3hr to wash 2 skillets, plates, and silverware and to my surprise it was clean..I mean I did have to do some scrubbing on the outside but that was no problem, the last major test was on the Heavy cycle, this cleaning process was over 4hrs , but this time I had pots with stuck on mashed potatoes , skillets, plates, silverware, and cups(pre-rinsed as much as possible) overall cleaning was good, I had some water left on top of my cups but not a big problem for manually drying. I will say that , on those rare lazy days, I will look to my dishwasher to now tackle the dishes that I don't have the energy for. The inside plastic pieces were a cause for concern but overall I'm satisfied. P.s a machine cannot replace human work. Lol

                                                Hello, Thanks for the review. We understand that having your dishwasher not start is frustrating, and we apologize. To troubleshoot, make sure the door is firmly closed. Also, make sure the water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned on. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly and lightly tap the piece under the ultra fine filter assembly that looks like a dome. Replace the filter. We hope that the above suggestions fix your problem. If not, we recommend scheduling service with a certified GE Appliances technician that will be able to accurately diagnose and repair your appliance. You can do so by calling GE Appliance Service at 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) or by clicking here: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm If you should need further help, please reach out.

                                                  Terrible to load. Feels n looks very cheaply made
                                                  I selected this model to match a full suite of new appliances in the Slate color. It is awful to load and we wind up running the dishwasher more often because you can’t load it efficiently. The door feels like it’s a molded piece of plastic. The racks do not glide well. Everything inside is wet after a cycle even when using the heat boost option and with drying agent in the reservoir. It’s loud and has no insulation except for a thin sliver of foam that barely covered only the sides and top. Not even attached or taped. I should have kept mine that was 20 years old and a different brand Very disappointed.
