GE GDF520PGDWW 24" White Built-In Full Console Dishwasher - Energy Star

correct facts and fixes to issues.
I installed one of these a month ago for my Girlfirend's daughter and everything is working fine now. I'm writing this to explain a few negative things mintioned in a prevsious reviews and to explain a problem and how we corrected it. First, the .80 gallons used, is only reffering to the amount of water the unit keeps stored in the bottom of the unit at all times to keep the pump primed and the seals from drying out. Obviously a dishwasther uses more than this when actively running through a wash cycle. Second, we also noticed the pump making an odd sound, (we also have an extra long drain hose on ours) but after a little observation, we found that is was simply the pump vibrating against the floor while it was pumping. Sure it's an issue that should be addressed by GE with regard to the mounting location and method of the pump, but we quickly resolved the issue by placing a small foam pad between the pump and the floor...."issue fixed". We also experienced water leaking from...

Stay Away!!
This sounded like a wonderful dishwasher with lots of great features at a great price point. It worked just fine for 3 weeks then started retaining water after washing and the sound the pump made changed. GE sent a technician to check it out and he plugged in his computer and checked the error codes. He said the pump works fine, so nothing wrong that he could tell. The only thing he could suggest was possible the drain hose was too long. He also explained that this is an entirely new type of dishwasher that functions on only 0.8 gallons of water and senses the dirt in the water. The hose was shorter then our old dishwasher, but we went ahead and shortened it as much as physically possible. It didn't help at all and the dishwasher continued to retain water after a wash. Then we had another problem, the tub filled and leaked out the seals all over my kitchen floor. I can tell you, without a doubt, this dishwasher uses more then 0.8 gallons. It dumped at least a gallon on my kitchen...

HOLDS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF DISHES!! WORKS GREAT!!
Read the last review, and surprised. I have had a completely positive experience with this unit.

What I noticed right out the gate, this thing is quiet. I could hardly hear the thing to know it was running.

2nd point, it holds an insane amount of dishes. I can't believe what all fits in this thing. EVERYTHING!!

Okay, so, I am at the three week mark, but so far so good. If this thing goes south, I will update. If there is not an update by me, suffice it to say that I am just as happy as I am the day posting this.

I like GE appliances, I trust the name.
