New GE "dispensotmat type" dishwasher

[petek]

Saw an ad in yesterdays paper for a new GE dishwasher exclaiming how you only need to fill it with detergent about 4 times per year and also how quiet it was. Unfortunately it didn't give a model number or anything else. Anyone heard of this model?

you only need to fill it with detergent about 4 times per ye

Is that considered hard work and an inconvenience too?

Plus, I think you need to use a gel dishwasher detergent, which, except for Cascade Complete Gel, are not good cleaners.

I'd rather have the flexibility to use as much or as little detergent as I think the load requires. I'll stick with the old, inconvenient method, LOL.

Well I've no plans on buying one that's for sure.

PDW8900, PDW9700, ODW9800. Other than Frigidaire, this is the first American manufacturer to offer a top rack only cycle. The SmartDispense uses liquid detergent. You program in the level of water hardness you have. Soil sensors determine how much detergent is dispensed per load.

Hey Bob,
Aren't some TOL GE DW-ers of SS Euro design?
That would enable top rack only, no?

Steve, not any more. There were some a few years back, but they've all disappeared, except for the 18" model, and are souped up GEs. And yes, I know you're referring to the Monogram line.
