Product review (1 stars): Does not work properly
We've had this dishwasher for just over six months. Summary: it does not work as expected for this class of appliance. GE service is not as expected.

Pros:
- very quiet
- lots of settings
- lots of space
- matches the rest of the appliances in our new kitchen

Cons:
- detergent left in the door after cycle is complete. We've had a GE tech come out three times. Tried to run hot water in the sink before turning on the dishwasher, we use the recommended detergent, and we made sure nothing's blocking the detergent from coming out. Tech said nothing's really wrong, just a 'piece of crap' dishwasher. GE won't replace it, just keeps sending more techs.
- if you have to run hot water in the sink for 5 minutes because the dishwasher doesn't heat up the water enough, then we're really not that energy and water efficient.
- dishes do not dry, even with the temperature boost. We open the door to let things air dry, and have a dishtowel section on our kitchen counter where we put things out to dry. And it's not just the normal ridges, everything's wet.
- the rinse aid seems like a scam, but we've been using it. Not sure what it does.

We are trying to get it replaced with same model, will post update if the new one works as designed.

UPDATE November 2014: we're on the third unit now, and within one week had the same problem of detergent not dissolving. As an added bonus this unit leaves marks on the bottom of our pans. It looks like the sprayers stay in one place and just pressure wash the bottom of the pans in one place, leaving a nice pattern of round marks where the coating is blown off the pan. When this unit is gone, we'll need to buy new pans. This has been going on for 13 months. We've had to run so many loads two or more times to clear out the detergent, I think we've wasted all the water and energy we can ever save over the life-time of this product.
UPDATE September 2014: the new dishwasher, same model, has the same problem. Every few loads, there's one that has detergent all over the door, and we have to run the cycle one or two more times to clear the junk out. Or wipe it with a paper towel, and then run it again without detergent just to rinse the dishes.
We also learned that a neighbor with the same model dishwasher has the same issue. We are going to see if we can replace with a different model. We'd like to keep our appliances in our kitchen with matching style, but it's so frustrating to deal with this dishwasher that we're willing to make a change. We'll get a Whirlpool or other brand and start moving our appliances away from GE.
