While the dishwasher cleans well on average and is relatively quiet, the racks and silverware basket leave much to be desired.  The lower rack does not allow for 3 different sized plate to be placed side by side without skipping spaces, thus cutting down on how many can be washed at the same time.  The silverware basket has too few sections that are too big.  The upper rack sections are too wide and glasses and cups move around, even turning over so that when they're finished, they are full of water.  There are no good places for bowls to be put inefficiently.  The only place I've found where they won't overlap each other is in the lower rack but that takes away from places for the plates.  This dishwasher replaced a Kitchen Aid and I'm not sure I'd get another GE the next time I need one.
