I was looking for a traditional, reliable dishwasher from a trusted brand and did not need all the extra "bells and whistles" - just something to replace a 15 year old appliance that would get the job done.  The GE Dishwasher with Front Controls gets the job done and more.  It has a nice large capacity, it is really quiet - so much in fact that a couple of times I have had to actually feel the dishwasher to make sure it was running.  I trust GE to provide a good quality product at a competitive price and I am very happy with this product.
