My old GE dishwasher had some issues which was almost 15 years old. So went for another GE. The new one is so much better. It is quiet, some times have to go near it to know it is actuly running :) Also it appears to use less water. And used Cascade dishwasher pods samples that came with the dishwasher, it cleaned so much better that I did not know until now dishwasher can clean this well. I normally run normal wash cycle which is 1 hour. And depending upon other selections, time varies.
