Product review (1 stars): WORST APPLIANCE I EVER OWNED - TWICE!!!!!
If I could I would give this ZERO stars!  This is my second go-round with this exact model (originally purchased through Lowe's).  When the first one failed to clean the dishes (sometimes they looked like we didn't even turn the thing on after a cycle, it was that bad) we wanted to return it to the store under warranty.  Since it was only 3 months after purchase they sent out a GE repairman who treated me like Ihad never owned a dishwasher before.  I'm nearly 56 - this is not my first dishwasher rodeo, Mistah!  He blamed me for every issue as follows:
1.  Our water wasn't hot enough - though we had it set at 125 degrees he said his thermometer was only registering it at 120.  We proved was set higher but we set it to 130 degrees.  He said we needed to run the hot water to maximum temp before turning on the dishwasher so that "the tub did not cool the water off."  (Um...doesn't that defeat the purpose of "energy" efficient?)
2.  We did not use the right dishwaster detergent...apparently ONLY Cascade Platinum with Dawn will work with this dishwasher and ONLY JetFinish rinse aid.
3.  If we rinsed our dishes of major particles before putting in the dishwasher, then the reason they weren't getting clean is because there was nothing for the soap to "stick to"...HUH?  (Now that's a new one -  I wonder if GE has scientifically proven that clean dishes will not get cleaner in a dishwasher?)
4.  If we used the steam option, the temp boost option or the sani rinse option, it will only "cook" the food onto the dishes and make it harder for the unit to clean them properly.  (Then why do they have those options if you aren't supposed to use them, I asked.  "Because that is only for commercial applications when you need to sanitize the dishes to get rid of bacteria," he replied.  "I didn't know this was a commercial grade dishwasher and so it must be my misconception that this is sold as a residential kitchen dishwasher and that normal kitchens don't have problems with bacteria."  (That earned me a stupid, blank stare.)
5.  The and kicker...it would be better if we ran the dishwasher at night before we went to bed because if we started up the cycle, then used the cold water in the kitchen sink, that would also reduce the hot water temperature and prevent the dishes from getting clean.

But...for the heck of it...I made all the changes he recommended, took pictures of the still dirty dishes and Lowe's was nice enough to offer me the option of either getting a full refund or an exchange.

So...I exchanged it.  It was nice and quiet (that's the one star) and I thought perhaps GE had just produced a lemon, which happens to everyone occasionally.  Last month I had it installed.  Nope.  Just today I decided I have tolerated a ramping up of the same problems I had with the last one, even though I am still implementing the recommendations of the GE repairman.

This IS the worst appliance I ever owned in my entire life.
