Cleans great, but flawed design…
This dishwasher cleans like a dream, even on the “light” setting, but the buttons stick and the design of the loading drawers is awful. The prongs are way too close together and at an awkward angle that makes it very difficult to load efficiently.

    flimsy, and nothing gets dry
    I had to return the other dishwasher I had originally ordered because, with it's door handle, it wouldn't fit in our small space. So I got this. I don't like it. Nothing gets dry at all. The utensil basket seems like it doesn't even belong to this model, it doesn't sit correctly and utensils make it tip. The whole thing feels flimsy.

    Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for your dishwasher. Sorry to hear about the silverware basket and drying issues you've had here. This model actually has a feature called Condensate Dry. This is an energy-efficient drying system on some dishwashers. With this drying system design, condensation will form on cooler surfaces in a warm humid environment. At the end of a cycle, while the dish load is still hot, the stainless steel tub walls are already cooling down and pulling condensation to form on the tub walls instead of the dishes. This provides natural air drying of the dish load. The use of a rinse agent ensures spot and film protection for dishes and assists the drying process. If you're having drying issues, you may want to check to make sure that your incoming water temperature is at, at least, 120 F. Also, if you'd like to take a look at some loading tips, you're free to start on page 8 in your Use and Care manual, here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-55125-3.pdf&_ga=2.123481998.404188722.1666710743-1052664212.1665428950 We do hope this is helpful. Know that we're here if you've got other questions or concerns in the future. Best wishes, Michael@Haier
      Great features
      We love how quiet it is! That was one of the important things we had to have in a dishwasher.

        Great washer, weird racks
        This washer was perfect to fit in a small space where an old cabinet had been. It is virtually silent and gets dishes nice and clean. My complaint—and it’s significant—is that the racks don’t seem to be designed to hold cups and glasses stable to keep them from banging into each other. The placement of support bars in the racks seem almost haphazard. Also, minor but annoying, the silverware rack can either hold all narrow flatware or if you take the top off, it can hold larger things like measuring spoons or scoops, but not both simultaneously.

          Great operation except for drying.
          Well, it is very quiet, has excellent cleaning performance, but below average drying.

            Great clean, long cycle
            This is a great product! It’s super small but powerful. My dishes always come out perfectly clean and dry. The cycles tend to run long, but the results are worth it.

              Quiet and powerful
              Just love my tiny dishwasher. It fits perfectly in our small summer place. It looks great, works great and is so very quiet that I had to bend down to be sure it was on! Love it.

                BEAUTIFUL SMALL DISHWASHER
                In redesigning our small apartment kitchen, we had to make decisions on the size of the dishwasher - and our conclusion was that a narrower dishwasher would give me a slightly wider sink. Haier was one of the few brands that carried a well made 18" dishwasher that could work well, complement the aesthetic of the upgraded kitchen and deliver a good clean. The inside is a beautiful stainless steel/chrome look and because the stacking trays are removable, it makes it easy to load larger or small items. The dishwasher is also practically silent, so even when it is running, the gentle hum does not interfere with the sound of the TV:)

                  Crappy product & crappy warranty service
                  Bought this dishwasher less than 4 months ago from Home Depot. It does not drain properly. Now, the dishwasher will not even start. Contacted Haier - NO ONE shows up, nor returns my calls. I call back, and GE Customer Service is rude and unhelpful. They demand copy of my receipt & photo of the model/serial #. After doing that, they schedule another service call with a technician- again NO ONE shows up, doesn't call. It has been nearly a week, and nothing. DO NOT BUY!!!

                      I am so happy with my dishwasher. Just the right size for 1 person . So much more quiet than any washer I have owned, & I'm 83 so that adds up to quite a few. Thanks.

                        perfect size for a small home
                        The size of this dishwasher is perfect and it's fairly quiet when running. My only complaint is that I noticed when I don't rinse my dishes first, they don't get completely clean. I really don't like stainless for any appliance due to fingerprints and pet nose prints, so I bought a large magnet to cover the front.

                              Not crazy about it
                              It looks nice and works well but that's about it. That is why I give it 2 stars. I don't like the setup of the curved prongs. It's hard to put some dishes and bowls in it. I have to take out the utensil container in order to put in a pot and wash the utensils by hand. My previous dishwasher had straight prongs and was able to move my utensil container anywhere that I wanted and it was able to fit over the prongs. This container only goes in a certain spot and does not fit over the prongs. I also don't like the wide spaces on the bottom tray. Small things can fall through that I can't fit on the top shelf. I wish I had my old dishwasher back. Sometimes progress isn't always better.

                                Disappointed & not worth the price
                                I would not recommend this dishwahser. If you are looking for a slim dishwahser, do your research and read the reviews! To start, the whole dishwasher is flimsy, when you open the door, to the drawers. The bottom rack does not hold full sized dinner plates. The sprayer above gets caught on it. The utensil dispenser is completely useless, and plastic crap. Nothing fits in there, it always catches on the door as you close it, and it does not fit right. Had I not spent so much on it, I would trash it and get another brand.

                                  Great little washer that fits tight kitchens. Install instructions were good and included tips to avoid service calls. Motor is solid, much heavier unit than last one. Super quiet, even before the last step of installing the insulated kick plate.

                                        BUYER BEWARE - my HAIER (GE name only) dishwasher immediately leaked through a faulty tub seam. Very good local service guy found it immediately and told me to video and send to the mfr Mabe (Mexican, part of Haier, now Chinese owned). I sent it and Mabe called me once - but now doesn't answer or call back!

                                            Ran well for a while. Then started emitting a foul electrical burning smell. Need to replace the motor which will cost me more than 60% what the new unit cost. Warranty only 1 year so no coverage. Unit should last longer than 18 months given cost.

                                              Very poor design. Upper spray arm keeps falling off, have to rewash items in sink. Space between top and bottom rack is too short to accommodate standard size dinner plates. Dishes fall through Bottom rack and jam lower spray.

                                                Does not dry dishes at all. I ran the 90 minute cycle on the first use and everything including the inside of the door was totally wet. I left the door ajar for two days and dishes were still wet.. then I went to the 120 minute ‘sterilize’ mode and dishes were still wet although the door was not. It took about two days leaving them on the counter to fully dry. Quite disappointed!
