Back in 1999 we lived in an apartment with a old GE dishwasher. It worked well. Fast-forward to 2002 we moved into our first home and the dishwasher there was of a competing brand. The water never heated up hot enough, and we always had to pre-rinse our dishes. Fast-forward to 2008, we moved into our current home. It had another competing brand dish washer. Not only did the water not heat hot enough, and the dishes did not get clean on the first go around; but the utensil holder was the worst, flimsy contraption that spilled out all the utensils when opening the dishwasher door. My wife and I said that once the dishwasher died completely we would get a GE. Guess what, it's 2015 and we have a new GE 24" Stainless Steel Built-In Dishwasher and the water gets searing hot, the utensil holders are a great design, the product is a breath of fresh air hands down. Thanks GE!
