The Future of Builder Grade Dishwashers is Here

[seedub]

I did not expect the GE to perform as well as it had. I am surprised and pleased by how well it does. I almost never pre rinse and I scrape only when there are large-size bits of debris. Except for two instances where an item needed to be rewashed, everything has come out to my satisfaction regardless of whether I use pods or powder and regardless of how heavily soiled an item is. The GE completely and consistently cleans glass casseroles with baked-on food. It passes the dried egg test and the dried meat sauce (BBQ sauce) test. This may be my faulty perception, but pods seem to have the edge over powder in this machine which is disappointing since I prefer powder. The white stuff at the bottom of the tub gradually faded out and I finished it off with a dampened sponge. With all cycles including the no-heat 1 Hour Wash cycle, all items are dry, but that plastic interior we've been discussing is still wet and stays wet for over a day. If I have the time or I'm sufficiently annoyed by it, I will wipe down the interior.

At this time, I have had none of the trouble with the door latch that just about all negative reviews have experienced. But it's early days so we will see what we will see. Here's hoping that the latch holds up until I quit the place this August.

The flimsy cutlery basket flexes excessively causing flatware items to occasionally bunch together if I carelessly load them.

Final score: I'd give the GE four out of five stars.

This is a older thread and while it seems to be -bumped- as it's a recent thread, I'll chime in on even -uber deeziner- Dishwashers.

While I appreciate the LED lights, and auto open door, etc on the new *uber high end* dishwashers, even the Miele Platinum level dishwasher, I would say about 5-6 years ago, even the Stainless was cheaper that of yesteryears. It was noticeable enough. Thinner for sure as if you put a pot handle slightly protruding, and closed the door - you might have put a dent to it. Sign of times I suppose

Independence Manor in Nacogdoches

I should be moving into an apartment soon at Independence Manor here in Nacogdoches soon. I plan on using the dishwasher there for everyday dishes. I hate washing dishes by hand, so I'm not gonna complain.

GE dishwasher

My dad has these GE's at the house in Houston.

The best drying dishwasher I've ever had was my Maytag non-reverse rack 1997 model. Since then, I had a new GE that came with our new house, and a KitchenAid TOL. The GE caught fire as the control board would often turn on the heating element, but not fill with any water. The KitchenAid washes well, but its drying performance is dismal. I swear the circulation fan has COPD.

wash system sounds

I noticed that the bottom spray arms runs at 100 rpm instead of the 60 rpm heard on most dishwashers. You also hear an electrical hum sound instead of the high pitched sound from the pump which you barely notice. It does alternate between upper and lower racks.

built tough

It is amazing that GE/Hotpoint claims that their appliances, including their dishwashers are built tough. HOW????

wash pump motors

Does the wash pump motor on yours hum, or do that whine noise?

Does anyone have the tech sheet to one of these?

That's a good question. How many water changes are on each cycle?

wash pumps

The wash pumps on these things sound like a wet magnetic rotor motor rather than a brushed motor.
