Space killer. Basket in front of door....

interesting
I am thinking they did market research, people hate seeing food stains on the interior of plastic dishwashers and you see those primarily on the door. At first I thought WTF but thinking about it , it makes sense

They will always try to be like us.

How Lame!
A half stainless steel interior.....Just the door?
The next dishwasher I have will be all stainless inside. Plastic is fine, but to just make the door stainless seems odd.......perhaps they did research and that's what customers want?

The point of a steel interior is not cosmetic or to hide stains. The steel tub allows moisture to evaporate off the dishes during final rinse and condense on the sides of tub, thus allowing non-heated drying rather than consuming more electricity with a heated drying cycle. Bosch DWs don't even have a choice between heated and non-heated drying: the final rinse is hot enough that the moisture will condense on the steel sides (as long as rinse agent is used).
Using a steel door only defeats the purpose of a steel interior and is a cosmetic change only.

And for the $599 price, you could be in an entry level (non-Ascencia) all-steel interior Bosch.
Sounds like it washes one rack at a time.
Hmm. They didn't publish an estimated time for each cycle. NOT GOOD!!! Scarey!!
I've never had any desire for a stainless interior on my dishwasher. I've always shopped for plastic and have zero issues with non-heated drying. I do think the stainless door is stupid though.

never had a plastic problem either
No staining, and dries just fine.

I see several nice design features in this new model. The recessed upper arm is a great idea. The silverware in front makes it super-easy to drop in a knife or spoon. The arrangement of the calrod and filter looks smart -- and I like the addition of a removable filter. The controls look simple and intuitive. The seamless plastic tub seems like a sensible compromise.
What amazes me the most though is the quantity and detail of the pictures GE has posted on their website. I daresay they have gone out of their way for those who like to see some of the guts of the machine.
As an added bonus, it appears to be a brand-new design from their massive U.S. appliance manufacturing investment.

Filters, zone washing and thimblefuls of water are here to stay. This new line has many high-end features for an on-sale price point of $450-480 so the plastic tub is irrelevant. Water temp options and a heated dry option are actually a step up from low-end Bosch models, for less money. Provided it doesn't burst into flames (you never know) it should sell millions.
I like having a third rack dedicated for silverware and utensils (as on my LG) because it provides more space in the other racks for all the large pots/pans/bowls I wash. My 2nd choice is to have the flatware basket along the front, as with this new GE. It's so convenient to open the door a few inches and drop items into it. I always placed the silverware baskets along the front in the other dishwashers I've owned (Maytag; KitchenAid; Frigidaire; Whirlpool).
The LG is pictured, here. You'll notice they also include standard flatware baskets which can be placed in the bottom or upper rack. I've never used mine; in fact, I don't even remember where they are stashed!
Also checked out some other GE dishwashers at their website and they want $1800 for their TOL. It doesn't score well in Consumer Reports' tests. That's a big chunk o' change for a middling-performer. Yikes.

Why the hate?
I don't understand why there is all this hatred for this machine. I think for the price point it is a step above other offerings on the market.

There's just so much hate in the world, Malcolm; so.much.hate (LOL)
The last time I saw some LG models at Home Depot, they didn't have the one with the flatware tray like yours, Eugene. I wonder if it's been discontinued or HD just didn't carry that model now, I've not kept up with LG's offerings other than what was in the store.
I know they've had their share of "birthing pains" with parts, service, etc. but even those I know have had trouble and service woes still love their LG dishwashers. You've had no trouble at all, right? It's impressive for sure, the space is well used for sure.
I couldn't find any data on the water usage of the new GE, unless I missed that in the tech. data & manual.
Skepticism thrives when it comes to anything new and from GE, they haven't had the best track record over the years for dishwashers - especially the middle and lower-end models.

It looks kinda neat totally different wash system though. I wonder if it is a Chinese version like some of the others G.E. had but the wash system schematics is something i have never seen that I can recall..It does change from top to bottom but I think all dishwasher's
do that now just about.I don't know why they say it has a grinder in it,I don't see one here in the pump schematics, I would still love to
try one though..
