Love Love Love!
I adore this dishwasher! Is it weird to love an appliance so much? I bought this along with the Cafe range and microwave. It's beautiful, sleek and modern and looks great in my kitchen. The controls are on the top of the door and are very easy to understand. One of the greatest things about this dishwasher is I can fill it up with an entire container of detergent! It gives a little warning light on the control panel when the detergent starts getting low. Super convenient!
This is also the quietest dishwasher I've ever seen (heard? not heard?). Sometimes I'll forget if I started it or not and have to actually put my ear against the counter to hear if it's running. Even then, it may take a little bit to figure it out. This was a huge benefit as I live in a loft with the living room/kitchen/dining room all open.
The top rack slopes so that on one side you can put taller glasses and the other side, shorter. This allows you to get taller items in the...
MAJOR DESIGN FLAW
I purchased the GE CAFE dishwasher in March of 2010 and within two years the keypad stopped working completely. When a GE technician was out for repair they told me this model has a design flaw. It was designed to be installed with a 1" gap between it and the countertop so that it could release the heat so it wouldn't short out the keypad since the keypad sits at the top of the door. First of all, that was never explained when purchasing the appliance (and i did have it professionally installed), and secondly how would you raise an existing countertop by 1"? I strongly advise you stay away from this model since even if you get it repaired the problem is only going to repeat itself....over and over again. Unfortunately I'm out $1400 plus another $200 for the repair charges. Also, this dishwasher doesn't do anything spectacular, my old dishwasher that cost $300 did the same job cleaning my dishes.
Doesn't Clean Anything
We have had nothing but problems with this dishwasher. We have tried everything from Citric Acid to vinegar. Lots of different detergents, jet dry, you name it we've tried it. I'm at the point of just trying to sell it and getting the top of the line Maytag with steam cleaning that seems to have good reviews. There is no doubt in my mind that all this energy star compliance junk has caused manufactures to make junk products.
If anyone has any recommendations I'm listening. They even sent us new parts that spin, but they worked for two weeks then died. We have average water hardness, so I don't know what the problem it. White vinegar sometimes works, but still this thing even when I run the hot water before turning it one, does NOTHING TO CLEAN.
All the dishes have stains, glasses are not near clean, and have a disgusting residue. Like a bunch of fools we purchased the 10 year warranty, but I just want to get rid of this piece of junk. We have the GE Cafe...
