No, nope NO. Cafe dishwashers are garbage. 2 years and out. Prior to this, I had a Maytag that had lasted 30’years. This piece of crap? Two years. GE is FRAUD. DO NOT buy! .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A member of our team will reach out to you via email to gather more information. Please respond at your earliest convenience.
A little over 3 years into our purchases and I am beyond frustrated with my three GE Cafe appliances. We have had issues with our induction double oven (fixed and under warranty), our microwave/hood handle's finish peeled off (not under warranty just after 3 years but, they replaced). This time it's our dishwasher. We always rinse dishes well before they go in and dishes almost always have some food remnants after running. I can live with that but, the main issue is that almost every few weeks we have an H20 message which means that there's gunk in the screen or in the drain. We check and clean the basket and there's minimal gunk which means that there's some sort of sensor issue. I wish I would of had GE out to repair this before my warranty expired. Things just aren't made well anymore-it's so sad that we live in such a disposable world. Model #CDT845p3n8d1 Serial#AV860186B

We would like to review your situation further and have sent you an email requesting additional information to do so. Please respond at your earliest convenience. In the meantime, please be sure your dishwasher is properly leveled as described on page 12, step 11 of the Installation Instructions - https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--uoNAXZpv--/39e2ec179ec299f5352c53da935ff714dcf53572.pdf - If your dishwasher is tilted forward or back, a false H20 code may display.
THE PRODUCT IS PRETTY, BUT FLIMSY and poorly designed. My contractor, who has done my last 4 remodels beautifully, could not make it look finished or totally immobile. I am not happy.

We manufacture appliances with high quality parts/materials and we're here if you have any questions about the functionality of your dishwasher.
We never thought we'd like a light inside our dishwasher, what a great feature! This unit is very quiet. It cleans well and in about half the time of our old unit. The extra jets and rack design on the inside are spectacular.

We are glad to hear you are impressed with the features and design of your new Cafe dishwasher unit. We are confident you will be pleased with it for many years to come!
The dishwasher works well and I’m happy with it so far. Very quiet, efficient and actually dries dishes! Only negative I noticed is top rack seems a little flimsy so extra cautious pulling it out.
I would recommend this to a friend!
