"I researched for a new dishwasher for many years when I purchased my home, and compared GE Profile appliances with Jenn Air, Bosch, and Kenmore Elite. My mother recently remodeled her kitchen with GE Profile stainless steel appliances, which attracted me to solely research GE. The first detail about this dishwasher that I liked was the handle, it is fully assembled directly to the dishwasher door, has a nice sleek look with functionality so that you can hang a dishtowel as preferred.
I have a toddler and she eats with plastic reusable dishes, and this dishwasher has cleaned caked on pasta, fruit snacks, and dried fruit without leaving any residue. The plastic cups, bowls, plates, and straws did not flip over or move during the cleaning cycle like they would with my previous dishwasher.
I also have left the dishes alone for a night after cooking red spaghetti sauce, boiled pasta, and fried chicken grease, and the dishwasher cleaned all the food particles off the pots, pans, china, and silverware using the the cookware cycle, smart dispenser and heat on.
Some let downs of this dishwasher was using the rinse cycle without turning the "heat on" feature; the dishes were completely dripping wet and there were puddles of water on the dishes. When I used the loose powder dishwasher soap, there were many soap scum residue on the dishes and door. However, when I used the Electrosol tablets in the powder dispenser, the dishes were cleaned well and did not leave any film on the dishes. Lastly, when I use the liquid Cascade dishwasher soap in the Smart Dispenser, the dishes were completely clean and spotless. When I tested each cycle, I used the heat on feature to dry the dishes .
As for the overall function of the dishwasher, I would highly recommend this product even though it does not have a "time remaining" feature since at the end of the cycle, there is an audible signal and a green light that turns on when the cycle is complete. The dishwasher interior is deep, and dishes need to be placed in its proper formation on the racks to clean well and dry completely without leaving puddles of water in curves to some dishes.
I hope this experience helps with your decision making. Good luck!"
