It looks like GE is really trying to fix their brand...
I really hope they are putting quality back into their name and not just making it pretty.
I can see the innovation.
I just hope they are seriously making quality products with their move to American built appliances.

Me too...
And for Heaven's sake, 52db is not the quietest in the industry. Please stop claiming that. ( Not that GE is the manufacturer making that claim ) But you know who you are... now knock it off!

Hmmmm
That bottle wash is a G R E A T idea. It looks like it would work really well.

I have seen several brands claim to be the quietest.
Bosch and Kitchenaid were both side by side when I bought in Feb, both claiming the quietest wash.
Though I have no comparison to the Bosch I bought the KA and it is darn quiet. Lot more so that the Quiet Series Maytag it replaced; much more than the GE Potscrubber years before, you could hear it outside.

This TOL Bosch is the quietest dishwasher on the US market. Price is $1,900.

New GE DWs
I will reserve judgement till I install a few and work on them. I can tell you one thing for sure, I installed a mid level plastic tall tub machine a month ago that was made in the US and it was a POS, far worse look and feel and flimsy construction to boot compared to the tall tub DWs that they have been building for the last ten years or so.
.
The bottle wash idea is STUPID, my older WP and KA DWs have no problem washing FORTY bottles in one load, I would rate this feature right up there with WPs Turbo-Scrub thing that lets you wash ONE really dirty item if it is in the lower rack facing the rear, I want [ and currently have ] a DW where I can wash a Whole load of really dirty items without worrying where they are positioned in the machine.

I don't think that the bottle wash feature is stupid at all. It would come in handy if someone has a baby in the house and they can put the baby bottles in and know they will get sanitized. What one might think is stupid , actually makes sense to another. I am looking forward to seeing new dishwasher in person. The other thing is that reversing wash arm. I wonder if its a spring that's wound and then released to reverse the arm or is there a motor that does it? I wish they brought back the MultiOrbit arm...loved how that arm got into everything. That 4 way arm design is nice. I wonder how the new machine will be rated by CU.
All those jets AND low water usage? I wonder how that'll turn out.
I can understand that customers would think swirling and reversing spray arm work wonders but in reality it doesn't seem to make a difference in cleaning. Our consumer magazine tested dishwashers with both normal spray arms and that AEG (Frigidaire in the US) with the swirling extra wash arm - the regular machines did better (Bosch and Miele).
That Bottle Wash looks like what commercial dishwashers use to clean instruments from dentists etc.
This is Miele's baby bottle holder. Goes in the upper rack.

I was thinking. . . four arm spray arm, what other manufacturer has that?
GE dishwashers used to be some of the best, then they became some of the not so goods, I hope they are getting serious about being good again.

That web site is pretty nice, I have to say.

Yeah I can place bottles in any place in my Dw and have them get clean so not into the bottle washing feature at all.
Now... if the spray pressure of the unit is like a lawn sprinkler at the end of a long run hose, then maybe you have to use this feature to get bottles clean in this DW.

I have that multi purpose rack for my Miele dishwasher and I rarely use it. It stays out of the machine. The only time I ever use it is if I have alot of utensils and I use it for that. On Miele's website that rack cost well over $100...to me way over priced.
Silly Bottle Wash feature
The big problem is it can only wash two bottles, what are you supposed to do keep using the dirty bottle for the kid?, most DW users only run their DW once every other day and once a day at most.

Plus, that Bottle Wash doesn't look too effective. Maybe with detergent in the water one would get better coverage.

There are four bottle jets on the top rack.
I believe it reverses direction by using a separate water channel in the wash arm. Notice only half of the wash arm works at once. So changing direction would work the same way as switching from washing the upper rack to the bottom rack.
