GE Profile : PDWT580RSS 24 Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless Steel

LOVE this dishwasher!
I honestly have no idea what these bad reviews are all about. Since most say they came with the house, I think they've reviewed the wrong product because NO builder installs a dishwasher this expensive as part of the "package." They get a cheapie and I'm sure that's what they're talking about since this is the first d/w that comes up in a search on Amazon for GE Profile. GE does make a "builder grade" GE Profile dishwasher, had one myself and it is atrocious. But,THIS ISN'T THAT DISHWASHER! Check out this item number and again, NO builder, unless you're building a million dollar home, will put this one in as "standard."

That aside, this is hands down, the best dishwasher I've ever owned! It washes everything right the first time, you can NEVER hear the thing running, and it's one of the best rated dishwashers by Consumer Reports. I did a ton of research before buying and this one, couple with the positive reviews on other websites where people actually take the time to...

quick delivery for self installation
We ordered this on Saturday of President's Day weekend and got a phone call that Monday night to schedule a delivery Tuesday or Wednesday. The vendor service was excellent.

I don't know if I'd recommend self installation unless you are mechanically inclined. The unit just fit under the counter and was otherwise a VERY tight squeeze compared to the GE it replaced. That extra capacity has to come from somewhere. Fortunately, there was a tile floor under the unit at the same hight as our hardwood, because I've heard that sometimes floor installers manage to box in the dishwasher during a kitchen remodel and you have to pop the countertop!

The GE Profile is very quiet. Had friends over and they didn't realize it was running in the kitchen until we heard the rinse cycle draining. We're very happy with the results.

Think Twice Doesn't clean well
My spouse and I purchased this in spite of a couple reservations due to previous reviews. We had other GE profile appliances and were happy with those. When the appliance was received, it was damaged. We didn't want to install since it was damaged and unsure what the fix would be. When I called GE I was told it would have to be installed before they would send someone out so called the third party AJ Madison instead. They set up for a GE repairman to come out. He said it was factory damaged and would need to be replaced. (And I didn't have to install to get this answer). The new dishwasher came quickly and was installed.
However, now that it is installed I am NOT HAPPY with the unit. The racks are such that the dishes move around when sliding bottom rack in and out and have to continuously rearrange the dishes. When using the manual detergent dispenser the cleaning was more or less OK but decided to test the dispenser for holding a full bottle of detergent. I rinsed the...

Easily and safely load and unload your dishware from this dishwasher, thanks to the ball-tipped, fold-down tines in the upper and lower racks, the Easy-Glide roller system and 2 upper utility shelves with StemSafe.
