So my previous dishwasher was n its last days of life so I decided on the GE dishwasher with front controls. It has worked like a champ. I don't have to prewash my dishes before I load it. And they come out clean everytime. It is very simple with options. The only thing Is when we first opened it up it had a strong plastic smell that took about a week to go away. Other than that it is a great machine.
