I bought this a few months ago. I like the features and appearance. It is definitely quiet when it runs. Our last GE dishwasher lasted 15 years and it got a good rating on consumer reports. So, w chose it. It has functioned well, except for the cleaning of the silverware. The basket is on the side of the trays. So, I don't think that the water gets to them as effectively as others.

Got this for a new house installation. I wanted easy silverware trays - which is has a set on each level in the front. Looks good and quiet. Only complaint I have is the digitial controls are a little clumsy to program - could be me. Other than that it is a wonderful machine. Also Made in America - a must in my opinion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Long overdue upgrade. Much quieter, better looking against wood cabinets, improves look of whole kitchen. First run went well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

MUST use "OPTIONS." Cycle lasts 3 HOURS+!

I’m updating a previous review now that I’ve had the dishwasher for over 4 months. I wanted to return it, but was unable to due to how we purchased it. A GE technician has come out and the determined the dishwasher is working “normal.” He said we should run the hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher and use the "boost" and "steam" “OPTIONS” in order to have better cleaning results. Using this combo of options has helped. In the past, I haven’t had to use options for my dishwashers to clean and dry but this one needs lots of special attention, and the dishes still don’t come out any cleaner. The options are not optional!
When loading, you cannot put plates on the edge next to the silverware because it will block the little water that does get to them. We have found that we cannot put even small silverware in the center of the bottom silverware section because it will block the water from getting to the detergent dispenser. Even with these accommodations, the silverware doesn’t come out as clean as our two previous dishwashers.
The dishes come out soaking wet unless we use the “heated dry” option and even then, the dishes are about as damp as previous dishwashers without using any special drying options. I still have to prop the dishwasher open when the cycle ends to let it air dry the rest of the way.
This dishwasher runs for OVER THREE HOURS! This is the length of the cycle for this model “Normal cycle (Sensor) no options 117 min Heavy 139 min Heated dry adds about 50 minutes” One of the recommendations for improved performance is “Avoid running the dishwasher while hot water is being used for other activities.” Luckily the dishwasher is very quiet! Sometimes, we would like to run two loads in an afternoon/evening but because of the long cycle, we aren’t able to. It's pretty disappointing for something to take that long and not have good results or find that silverware was placed in the wrong place or the right options weren't selected and have to run it again, for another 3 hours.
The top spray arm comes off occasionally and I have to put it back on. I wish I had to say I had to "snap" it back on. I think that is the problem. It is too easily bumped off and doesn't fasten very securely.
Because this dishwasher needs special treatment, it makes it difficult to have my children do the dishes. They get frustrated because so many dishes come out dirty. (They have used dishwashers in the past without any problems.) I got all my other appliances including a microwave, washer and dryer from GE at the same time and I'm very happy with all of them except this dishwasher.

It's smaller inside than my old one - fits less dishes. Terrible location of silverware basket; hangs on front of top and bottom racks and fall off easily, silverware doesn't get clean in middle section where soap well is located. Basket often interferes with closing of door. 50% of time soap doesn't completely empty from well. Heated dry still leaves water spots.. Wash cycle seems very long.
