Good dishwasher, 3-5dB louder than advertised
This dishwasher looks nice, was simple to install, and is easy to operate. Even very dirty dishes, pots, and pans get clean on the normal wash setting. We always use the max dry boost setting and everything except for cups with deep recesses on the bottom are dry when the cycle is done. As others stated, cycles are long, but they work well. The adjustable upper rack allows larger pots and awkward top-rack-only dishes to fit where our old dishwasher would not. We wanted a dishwasher with a food disposer, fan dry, quiet operaruon, and without the 3rd rack to take up space. This one has met all our needs except one. The touch controls are sensitive to light brushes, but they are usually under the countertop, so not a big issue for us. The biggest disappointment was the that this dishwasher is rated at 48dB. My SPL meter measures 50-53dB at 1 meter away during a wash cycle. While it's quieter than our old dishwasher, it missed the mark completely on its advertised sound rating. It's not loud, but you definitely know it's running and can hear when the water is running on the top vs lower rack. There is some pump noise, but nothing annoying to us. Our living room is about 16 feet away in a nearly open floor plan. We can still hear the TV at low volumes, where we couldn't with our old dishwasher. But, a true 48dB would have been nearly inaudible with the TV on at this distance.

    Soap Dispenser Opening Late in cycle
    Soap dispenser opens late in cycle, therefore not washing the dishes. This problem has been inconsistent. We have tried loading it different ways. When this occurs, we have to run the dishwasher again, wasting water and electricity. The soap is running down the interior of the door. 2 warranty visits so far, and it’s not repaired.

                Smooth running
                The buttons on the top is great with our toddler, as they aren't on the side asking to be pushed like some wash machine models are. So much nicer than hand washing.

                    Replacement of a 7 year old model
                    This unit replaces our seven-year-old unit that we started having problems with about two years ago. I’d like to say they don’t make them like they used to. We went with the same GE model because we have the refrigerator microwave and oven as well. Hoping that in the last seven years they’ve made some improvements to extend the life of the unit. 4 STARS due to various problems and so-so cleaning after 4-5 years.

                          This is an awesome product! Easily installs…the quality of this one is right up there at the top for me. It is very quiet and fit my counter space perfectly.

                            Quite and Cleans well
                            This model is quite and cleans well. The handle is very steady. Which is important to me since my last handle broke. The finish cleans easily and it had a handy indication light for when the load is clean. Overall I would recommend this product.

                              2nd year and it stopped working.
                              My first time having GE appliances. Well here I am 2 years in and my dishwasher stopped working. I also had problems with water getting into the door somehow at random times. At least our GE Frig motor had the decency to go out within the year warranty.

                              Hello, Thanks for the review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the features and appearance, but sorry to hear that your dishwasher stopped working. The inconvenience is understood, and we'd like to offer some helpful information. In some installations, the power to the dishwasher is provided through a wall switch, often located next to the disposer switch. Make sure it is on. We hope this helps, but 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 we can help in the future, please let us know. We are more than happy to. All the best, Kianna@GEA

                                We purchased this one to replaced an older GE. Just installed and been using for roughly a week, dishes are clean and it’s as quite as the old one. The styling looks nice, and I like the ability wash just a half a load.

                                    Dropped during installation & HD won’t fix damages
                                    I purchased my dishwasher two years ago from Home Depot. It recently broke and was was out of warranty so I called a repair man to fix it. When he pulled it out from under my cabinets he found that the top corner was smashed from being dropped and an attempt was made to seal it with silicone. Over the two years it had leaked and warped my sub floor as well as my cabinets. Home Depot sent me to their insurance company who denied my claim stating that the delivery company denies dropping it.

                                      Ticks all the boxes!
                                      This GE dishwasher has all the features we were looking for and more. It has 5 wash cycles and can be set to focus the wash cycles on just the upper level, lower level, or both. The top rack has special positions with bottle jets for extra attention them. It also has holders for wine glass stems to keep them stable during the wash. One of the most important features to us was the drying capability. Using the Dry Boost feature, dishes can come out completely dry, if you want. The dishwasher is very quiet, to the point that at first we wondered if it was even running at all.

                                        Racks don’t hold as much as expected
                                        The dishwasher has a beautiful and sleek design, the interior is nice too, but we noticed when we load dishes it doesn’t hold as many as our old dishwasher(that was the same size and two racks as well) also the top rack doesn’t seem and sturdy with a full load of dishes in it

                                            The dishes never dry
                                            Washing the dishes with different modes (dry boost/wash temp), but they are still wet. Technician came and suggested using different types of detergent, but still not working... Also, there's water residue in the filter well and we think that might be the reason... Have another service call soon... Meanwhile, we're drying the dishes by opening the door...

                                              Great dishwasher. Quiet. Uses only 4 gallons of water compared to previous one that used 12 gallons. Cleans dishes, glasses, silverware and pots and pans. All comes out nice and clean.
