This GE Dishwasher feels... cheap.

Let me just say I don't hate this dishwasher, but I don't like it either. It does what you'd expect, though it sometimes doesn't get certain dishes clean enough and leaves some dishes wet after it's done. It has a nice setup with plenty of space and racks, and a nifty basket area for silverware and utensils; and completes its cycles in a couple hours. As far as options, it has a handy steam option, as well as an anti-bacterial setting, among others. But despite that, it feels a bit cheap. It doesn't feel as sturdy as older dishwashers used to. When you pull the racks out or close the door, it seems way too light. And it's not the easiest to clean out extra gunk that might build up in the bottom of the unit over time. (We once had an issue with water backing up and running out of the bottom because of this.) It's a shame, because given the price of this machine, I feel we customers should get more for our money. Seems like it's another case of a company cutting down costs yet charging too much, so I would recommend another brand of dishwasher. Which one? I can't be sure! But I'm certain there are better options out there that don't cost so much yet deliver a good quality product.

   Love our GE Profile. I can fit a lot more silverware in this product than our last washer.  I really like way the racks are arranged as well.    I am only giving it a three because it is louder than I would like.

Not what I expected.

We purchased this dishwasher four years ago when we were building our house after we had looked at numerous brands.  It was rated very high in all categories.  It seemed to work fine for the first year, but now it doesn't seem like it gets the dishes clean even on the full wash.  When we select the cycle that we want, the time of the cycle is different each time, i.e., full wash will range from 60  to 65 minutes.  I've never had any other dishwasher do this.  One would think that in that amount of time the dishes would get clean, but unless I scrub each item before I place it in the dishwasher, they do not get clean.  I was told that this model did not have to have the dishes scrubbed completely before washing because it had a garbage disposal in it.  Another thing that seems odd to me is that when I open the door, the soap dispense lid pops open.  Wouldn't you think it would open while it is closed and washing the dishe?  I do like the fact that the top rack dividers can be put down so that it can be used for other things besides glasses.
