As many of you know when I moved down to Florida almost three years ago I had a house built I had to have a GE dishwasher as that was the only brand the builder used. I selected a very upgraded model at a big additonal charge. I really wanted a good dishwasher so I was willing to pay for it. I picked the GE Profile model PDW 8280 which I was told was the second from the top of the line. From the very beginning it never did a very good job of washing dishes. I had GE service out here twice and was told all was OK. I know many of you have GE dishwashers that you love and think are great but believe me this wasn't one of them. Some of you from AW have been here in person and seen first hand what I am talking about. Besides the cleaning issues the fact that it took almost two hours on the normal setting with added heat and about three if I used the cook-ware cycle, which improved results very little. For some reason this bothered me especially when I had company with more than one load to do. Here is a picture of the machine.
