My GE Profile
has SS and a black front console. It's a 4 cycle model with blue spray arms and a permatuff tub. It does a good job, I have no complaints. It is not loud. I can hear water spraying inside a little. Gee, maybe because it's washing? I use the anti-bacterial cycle plus added heat mostly. It takes 88 to 90 minutes according to the built in time display, which is no longer offered. I use Finish red ball tabs and liquid Cascade in the small dispenser cup. Short pre wash, then one long wash, two rinses, unless the turbidity sensor sees particles, in which it will purge off some water and refill, or totally empty and re rinse.
It is installed between thick solid wood cabinets, and under a Silestone quartz countertop.
I put some extra insulation up under the bottom of the door when I glued the wooden toe kick trim to the front and sides on the ugly black metal one.
It was not on clearance, or returned. I ordered it along with my profile SS dual fuel slide in stove, microvent, and 26 cu. ft. SxS in GE's non magnetic stainless steel. That means it has nickel in it as well as chromium to prevent corrosion.
I upgraded my "Masterbrand" cabinetry from Indiana to all plywood 1/4 inch sides and ends. Yes, it's Martha's Lily Pond. Good stuff. Leaded glass doors were no charge.
I did the installation, except the counter tops. Level, square, and tight. No shims were needed for the counters.
I added solid cherry russet triple beaded trim on the bottoms, and tops, then crown moldings. It all adds class, and hides the electrical outlets at the top for the L.E.D. task lighting. I ran the wiring between the cabinets. Travertine tile backsplash. We are gumba's.
