Product review (5 stars): Not sure if they've upgraded this product...
I never trust 1 star reviews on a product, especially when they are few compared to units sold.  I'm glad I didn't in this case either.  I'm actually writing a review on THIS dishwasher, the LDF6920ST.  Not one that I got with a house I rented that looks like this product that may or may not be it.  Not a different model that has the same design as this one.  This one.

We've had a "top of the line" all the bells and whistles GE dishwasher that we tossed an extra $1000 in at closing for when we had the house built 5 years ago.  5 years of pure hell from an appliance.  We finally decided enough was enough and purchased this, as 2 family members have them and have really loved them.

This is one heck of a machine, honestly.  Cascade Tabs, Jet Dry, and hot water is all it takes.  I'm not sure why anyone would complain about a dishwasher leaving dishes spotty or streaky while knowingly not using a drying agent.  That's not the dishwasher's fault.  They invented that stuff because, guess what, most water dries spotty.  Minerals in the water cause it, not a defective dishwasher.  Yes, you actually have to open the little door and pour it in about once a month, but aside from that exhausting labor it's worth it for streak free dishes.

Cascade is the best I've ever found, and I've tried just about every one under the sun.  The tabs with Dawn are really nice for greasy pans.  Plus, they are easy to use.  Put in soap cup.  Close soap cup.  Start dishwasher.

I put this thing through the wringer after buying it, because I didn't want a crappy dishwasher for another 5 years.  I'd return it the next day.  I tossed in caked on, stuck on, dried on dishes that had sat from dinner the evening before.  One bowl with the dried remains of guacamole on it (every try to scrub that out, let alone in the dishwasher?).  Clean.  1 run, no pre-rinse or dancing on one leg.  Clean.  Spotless.  Wife was happy.  1st run there was the "new" odor that most heating elements have.  2nd run it had no smell other than the smell of a dishwasher running.

Quiet.  And I mean quiet.  I had to open the door the first time to make sure it was running.

The controls on the top of the door are a personal preference.  If you don't like that, don't buy a dishwasher with it.  Again, that's not the dishwasher's fault.

Run time.  It's 2 hours.  Regular wash, power scrub.  2 hours.  The GE ran 1.75 and the dishes had to be run again without soap to rinse them clean, so 3.5 total.  I think the 6 dishwashers we've used since getting married have all run about that long.  Not a deal breaker for me.

I will recommend this to others, it's well worth it.  I will not, however, recommend a GE.  Maybe I should go find a black one on here that looks similar and write a bad review for it. ;)
