Great basic dishwasher.

This is a great basic dishwasher that cleans and drys well while being relatively quiet - unfortunately it omits a few basic settings that previously were standard even on basic models such as selectable heated dry (see below) and a rinse only mode to give dirty dishes a quick rinse when you aren't ready to run a full load.
First I want to dispel some misinformation on prior reviews. This does have heated dry on both the Normal and Heavy cycles, unfortunately it is not selectable so it is always heated dry on both cycles. To avoid the heated dry you must use the 1 hour cycle. Dry works great on ours as long as we have rinse aid in the dispenser, drying performance is severely impacted when the dispenser goes dry.
One other personal recommend is to clean the filter regularly, it is a very fine filter and it gets caked up quickly which will cause smells between use and poor washing performance. Fortunately GE made it a cinch to remove the filter and rinse it out, takes maybe 1-2 minutes max so I give it a good rinse every week. If you untwist the "basket" inside the fine filter it makes it easier to get the inside of the fine mesh filter clean.
Bonus note. While this dishwasher is not meant to have the 3rd rack which is standard/available on higher end models it has the mounting points to install the one you can buy from GE which I did. It allowed me to store the utensil basket and open up room on the lower rack and use the 3rd rack for utensils, it does eat into the 2nd rack space but the rack easily slides out if you need the extra height on 2nd rack. Cheap and easy upgrade to this basic dishwasher.
There are not enough features on the product. I wish there were mire
I would recommend this to a friend!

We appreciate you taking a moment to connect and share your review. We're going to be passing this over to our product team to review. That way we can start looking for improvements we can make for our models going forward.
There is no steam vent on this dishwasher, so it stays wet inside, and dishes never dry. Even the no-heat dry option on other dishwashers allows dishes to dry, with water evaporating & exiting through a vent. People will leave the dishwasher door open in an effort to get the inside & their dishes dry, & someone will inevitably trip over the door & be seriously hurt as a result. It’s a tragedy waiting to happen. GE should be ashamed for putting out this piece of garbage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cleans the dishes fine. It doesn't dry that well. If I leave the door open for a bit as soon as the cycle is finished, the dishes will dry faster. It's loud when running, but this does not bother me. I just wanted one option to clean " START" I got t what I asked for. Works well for the price.
